    Golota was the best whenever he was mentally right, he had the tools, he ended Bowe's career, as far as natural talent, Golota had it, but his mind did not go along with his talent..............

    Golota in his prime was a ****ing beast. Talent and tool wise, he eclipses Tua and Rahman by a fair margin, though this is not the same as saying he would win against them, since he was so unpredictable in how he used those remarkable skills, being a damn head case he was. A mentally mellowed out, but past it Golota actually did beat Ruiz and Byrd and should have had two straps, but got thoroughly shafted.

    I'd say Rahaman, but Tua is near him. Golota was a useless dumbass, a gym rat but nothing more.

    Tua was too short, and in most of his punches he didn't even charge power. Too stationary, too slow.

    Rahman was more complete, even if still a nutcase.
