    Can't think of any at this moment. Even an inspired Leon Spinks would walk through Golota's best shots.

    1996 Golota was a superheavy monster with mad combo-punching attacking skills. He beats any Heavy world champ before Liston. '96 Andy G also wins VS 99% of abc belt holders from 80s, 90s And 00s. He destroy teh little Spinks brothers And Waldo. '96 Golota is 50/50 with '88 Tyson And '03 Vitali. Peak '92 Bowe would **** him, despite his near success in double quitjobs VS Shot Bowe in '96.

    None of them..Golota was a class D fighter compared to the champions. He had no balls..no control..I mean, those were the reasons I judge him harshly...obviously he had the skills...look what he did to Bowe..who i think was overrated. It's what was upstairs..his head..that made Golta a mediocrity. He should have beat the life out of Michael Grant..he could have done a lot better than he did vs Tyson..he had no heart. As for Lennox Lewis, forget it..even if he came into the ring with a baseball bat, lewis would have destroyed him.

    Max Baer would have ko'ed Golota in 1 or 2...Liston would have given him a heart attack..young Foreman would have mauled him.

    I agree with red cobra.

    It's not as if Golota wasn't given enough chances. He proved time and again that he'd blow it against the top-flight champions, even ones who were some degree past their primes. He busted against Michael Grant for heaven's sake.

    Golota had n't the mindset necessary for a champion.

    I would give Golota a shot at beating Patterson and Johannson. He would defintely beat Hart and Carnera. He might beat Willard. He might have a shot at beating the versions of Walcott and Charles that fought Marciano. It's not out of the question that Golota might beat Sharkey. He would probably have beaten Braddock. Without doubt, Golota would have knocked out Leon Spinks.

    It's even possible that Golota might have beaten Baer, given that Baer was so inconsistent.

    This is just off the top of my head.
