Golota would beat both Klitschkos

Or maybe he was beating Bowe because he kept pounding him in the nuts all fight. Why not take into consideration why it is a foul and how many times Goliath did it. I am not a Bowevhater but I do think you're not a smart poster. Your posts are shallow and inaccurate.

 

Ok. So your point is his biggest achievement was getting a draw w Chris Byrd. I don't remember any outcry over the verdicts not that Golota under performed as the much bigger and hyped as better fighter going into both matches. As far as him against either Klitschko I just see both making him quit.

 

You are simply making too much out of him. "Who did he beat?" is the first and foremost question of fighter in this kind of comparison.

For reference, Waldo beat a number of top ranked guys... Peter, Chambers, Byrd, Haye, Ibragimov, Brock, Povetkin, Thompson, Chagaev, Pulev, Jennings.. There is a lot of depth there that Golota didn't come near duplicating.

What does Golota have to compare to this? Some freakouts against Bowe? Near misses against Byrd and Ruiz?

As I said before, it's not even close.

 

Classic Dino post ^

I wonder if Wlad would be able to beat James Broad?

What say you, Dino?

 

Different era's. Not comparable. Was Ali the huge favourite against Holmes and Berbick? No.

Lewis was same age as Wlad although in a lot worse condition when he tore prime Vitali apart. Im sure you rank Vitali above Tyson Fury.
Holyfield was Wlads age although with a lot more miles on the clock when he gave Lewis two decent fights.
James Tony was an over weight mess and again the same age as Fury Wlad when he handled Sam Peter a lot easier then Wlad did in his early 30's.

Wlad had just beaten the #1 and #2 rated heavy weights. What past prime fighter does that? His career is not comparable to guys who once fought every week on 10 dollar training camps.
He fought no risk fights in state of the art training facilities with the best of everything at his disposal. He was fresher than any other 39 y/o HW and you know it as much as i do. You wanted to pretend that his earlier career didn't exist and his losses and struggles were flukes. I told people the Williamson fight was no fluke but nobody would listen. I didn't need to see him lose in lop sided fashion AGAIN to know he always sucked. I tired to tell you all along but you wouldn't listen to me

 

No. Fury was pre- prime and had ZERO championship experience and a very limited amateur back round. The playing field was not level. Wlad held the monoply on pretty much every aspect of the fight.

Pacman went on to have better wins then Mayweather.

 

I doubt it. His best shot would be against Wlad who would still be a favourite in my opinion.

Golota fought a Bowe who was not in good shape.In the 2nd fight, Bowe was shot to pieces.

 

Floyd never shut Pac-Man, beat him yes but not a shutout.

On topic, Golota could probably give a good account of himself against the Klits but he'd loose to both.

 

Pacman didn't have any success . Almost none. You could class that as a shut out. And Floyd was older , Wlads age when he did it. Remember Floyd turned pro in 96 same as Wlad.

Vitali id take over Golota , even though Golota's skill set was way more impressive. He'd make Vitali look foolish for the most part but i can't pick a guy with a fragile mentality over a guy with a strong mentality.
Boxing is 99% mental and thats why i could see Golota beating Wlad. Wlad is a bigger cowardly weasel than Golota ever was. Maybe in Germany he'd have a chance where he'd put Golota on an energy draining bouncy canvas with a ref that forbids any sort of inside contact and allows Wlad hold like a bear until Golota is separated to the other side of the ring.
A fair fight where Golota is allowed go to town on Wlad on the inside favours the Polak.
WK ran , cowerd , flopped , and illegally held on for his life against Sam Peter so i don't see why its a stretch to favour Golota over him.

 

About the only version of Wladimir that I can "possibly" see Golata beating was the very raw and green version who lost to Ross Purity. That's about it. Even the 2003 rendition who lost to Sanders was at least dealing with a very fast handed southpaw and one who was likely underestimated at that. By the time Wlad had shored up his fighting game with Manny Steward, Golata wouldn't have much to use against him. No way is Andrew out jabbing Wlad, and in the rare instance he got in close he'd get tied up.

 

True , his basic inaccurate 1-2 would be an issue. I usually don't pick Vitali in fantasy fights cos his record is so rubbish and his skills were all over the place..
He only ever beat one style of boxer for the whole of his career.
He's like a Felix Sturm type guy at Heavy Weight. He'd have found a way to win against Byrd and Lewis if he was as good as people think he is. Great for his own era , but the post Lewis era was the worst era known to man and made him look a lot better than he was.
I think Povetkin was better and id take Povetkin to beat him too. Maybe. 50/50. It should have happened. Id actually say Vitali was #1 of that era.

 

You can't tie a up a guy because you don't/can't box in close quarters. Thats an outside advantage for Wlad which doesn't factor into fantasy fights.
We play be the rules around here.

Its like saying a Brit has a higher chance of beating a foreign guy because of the British stoppage. Or its like saying Froch would've had trouble with Ottke because the ref doesn't allow Ottke to be hit.
