    Old Foreman loses against a mentally stable version of Golota. Golota was really quite good when on song and he'd be a good deal faster than old Foreman. Frankly I think he'd give Foreman at that stage all kinds of issues. Prime Foreman beats him imo.

    Prime Foreman stops any version of Andrew inside 5 rounds imo.

    A mentally stronger Golota on his best night could win a close decision against the older Foreman if he doesn't get drawn into too many exchanges, I suppose, but it's still tough imo.

    George still had his strength, power and big jab. George might still walk him down even in his forties, up until he got too old after say, 1995.

    Maybe 60-40 for the best version of Golota vs older George is the best I could give Andrew.

    It wouldn't be long before a stable Golota becomes unstable against Foreman. . He doesn't have the mental capacity to hold it together with that kind of hellfire coming at him.

    Thats goes for both versions of Foreman.

    In fact 88-91 Foreman was better than washed up Riddick Bowe. The sledge hammer jab of Foreman would make Golota quit faster than he did in both fights with Bowe.

    I don’t recall Golata “ quitting “ against Bowe. He was disqualified
