    This. And if you consider Briggs a champ, then him too (unless he shows up like he did against Lewis)

    U stupid idiot. Golota lasted 1 round with a fat, old post prison Tyson

    How the **** is he going any longer with Tyson at his peak?

    2 guys Golota DEFINITELY doesnt beat = Tyson + Lewis :)

    If he performs like in the Bowe fights, which was probably prime Golota, and if he isnt DQd then i actually give him a chance against most, if not all of them. Not saying that he beats them all, because he wouldnt, but he has a chance. Realistically the self destruct comes against most of them. Many actually out and dominate him. And only a few, if any would be dominated. Most would be a good fight with Golota probably losing on points.

    It wasn't really about the way Briggs showed up, it was that Lewis in particular showed up.

    He deserved the wins over Byrd and Ruiz and arguably the Bowe DQ was undeserved in fights he was winning

    He'd beat less sophisticated guys like Willard, Carnera, Briggs, Jeffries bully the small guys like Burns, Fitz, Corbett, Hart, Braddock. Sharkey is a 50-50 given both fighters mental weaknesses

    I'd like to see how anyone could argue those DQ's being undeserved !
    The most blatant and horrendous deliberate and repeated low blows (fully low, right in the balls) I've ever seen.

    In the second maybe, in the first I thought he could of taken another point and given Bowe 5miniutes, Bowe seemed to get away with fouling himself

    Douglas dosen't deserve being grouped with these others. Maybe the version of Douglas vs Holyfield or the version that was in there with Louis Monaco Golota may have had an inspired evening with, but the Buster Douglas that faced Tyson would have been a horrible mismatch for the "Foul Pole".

    It was poetic justice somewhat that a dirty fighter like Bowe should get his comeuppance vs Golota. They sort of deserved each other.

    The Champion that was Buster Douglas absolutely does. As champion, his one uncsucessful defence absolutely makes him look like a fighter Golota could beat. Douglas was challenger, not champion when he met Tyson.

    As the man once said, "'deserves' got nothing to do with it."

    I don't think Golota beats Carnera.
    How would that go ?
    Carnera had a lot of size and strength and a ton of balls. I see Golota folding his tent up against Carnera, sooner or later.
