    Golota would need a mental makeup transplant. He had the size and tools to give both the K bros a fight but mentally he would buckle. I totally getr why you would think he could do it but no way. Those Bowe fights were wild!

    In your world maybe.. In REALITY however, Wlad reigned the heavyweight division for nearly 10 years and several of his defenses were in the US where his style and tactics didn't seem to cause a problem. He also won 40 pro fights BEFORE Steward came aboard and taught him to hold as much and among the opponents he beat were Byrd, McCline, Botha, Barret, etc.. Golata wasn't in a separate league from these guys.

    Yeah in Dino's world. He's a delusional hater type. As I said before he's the type of heater that is uninformed, and brings down the collective IQ of the other Anti-Klitschko haters.

    As such I'm okay with him posting his matrix like views.

    He seems to believe that virtually ANY fighter outside the 2004-2016 era would have beaten Klit. Name any obscure fighter you can think of from the 1980's, say Mike Jameson or Ken Lakusta. Dino would pick them over Wlad.

    Pretty much. The Flintstone's Dino had better sense, I think

    Yea i think povetkin could beat him, has a good enough chin to take vitali's punches, and he's good at slipping the jab and throwing good combos at mid range and inside, where he would have a chance to put a beating on vitali.

    Thank you.

    Finally I hear someone tell it like it was...... as for Golota if his head were right on the night he could severely trouble the Klitchkos even beat them.

    Andrew Golata was a good fighter, but he's getting blown to the stars here. While I can certainly agree with some of the criticisms of both Klitschko brothers, there shouldn't be any debate about them being a class or two higher.

    Yeah that changes everything. Ken Lakusta KO 1 Wladimir Klitschko.

    Foreman, lampley and merchant praised golota skills very high in the bowe fights... Thought of him as the real deal.

    Lou dova said this about golota -- >"big good looking guy, strong guy, could punch, could fight, could do it all"... Big statement considering dova's experience and pedigre

    Duva was his manager.

    He wasn't going to say 'This boy Golota is **** and he's ugly as sin".

    Well steward didn' t give credit wlad for his inside game or defensive slickness... He praised his jab, right hand, power etc...
    Point is, you don't praise qualities that your fighter doesn't have... Golota was a full package at that time, as far as boxing skills, something the klits never were.

    I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying when a manager/promoter/trainer talks about their fighter, they're not going to say anything negative.
