    If Golota gets it right and destroys Adamek. Does a HW title shot beckon?

    With D King, anything is possible.

    Well if David Haye beats Valuev. And if Golota doesnt freeze, he would cause Haye all sort of problems in my opinion.

    I'm not so sure about that. I would say that about Valuev. Most would say that Golota is tailor made for Haye's explosive, quick punching. I would give Adamek a lot better chances against Haye than I would to Golota.

    No. Golota would still need to beat a legit HW contender. If Adamek losses people will just say Adamek was never meant to be a boxer at that weight. But it would also depend on how Golota would win. If its a quick KO, people will dismiss it. If its a war and both men competing with high skill and Golota comes out on top, its a different story.

    If Golota just stay away of the ring during the first two rounds
    letting Haye do shadowing and stuff then all you said is true.

    We will see. I at the moment dont rate Hayes chin all that well, valuev will struggle to get that big shot to put him away, not really known for that. I personally think Golota would be able to land some big bombs on Haye while taking some himself. It is true Haye does have speed and some big shots but a few body shots from golota will soon slow him down.

    All its true, just not in the first round or two.
    If Austin was able to score 3 sec KD then Haye is able as well.
    Andrew's chin is strong but Hayes punch is strong, fast and accurate.

    In the first rounds Haye's speed and accuracy would be too much
    for todays Andrew ... unless Andrew learn some defensive tricks.
    If somehow Andrew survive to round 3 then Haye will not be able
    to show as much heart as Mollo did ... Andrew KO in 6.

    Just out of curiosity: When was the first ever Golota Express created? Are we talking 2-3 years or more like a decade?

    Haye's explosive punching could be like Mollo's explosive punching, bouncing of Golota like bullets bouncing off a tank.

    Highly unlikely. For all his stylistic flaws, Hayes' power is the real deal. I wouldn't be surprised if he hits as hard as Brewster. His KO/TKO percentage is extremely high, with only two single fights (out of 23), going full distance. His last opponents were no push overs either:Barrett, Enzo, Bonin, Mormeck, Fragomeni. All Ko victims.

    I wanna say it was created when it was first rumored Golota was coming out of retirement after hiatus from the Tyson disaster. So 2003 maybe?

    I agree with this. The last time Golota fought a real heavyweight he was on the canvas in 2 seconds after the bell rang. He'd have to actually beat a real HW contender first.

    But as JETS said, with Don King anything is possible.


    Personally I hope he wins and then retires.

    You can't be serious.
