    Ive always thought that Golota had the ability to beat Holyfield, and that if they fought now, he'd still do so.

    Golota was terrified of Tyson and Lewis, I just dont see that being the case with Holyfield.
    I think Golota beats him widely on points.

    I concur. As a longtime Golota fan, I had always hoped Golota would get a crack at Holyfield, as early as 1996.

    Many are starting to jump back on the grandpa Holyfield wagon due to some recent wins. I didn't see the fight but I heard he did a pretty good job against human punching bag Lou Savarese, and I also understand Savarese hurt Holyfield on a couple of occasions. As another poster pointed out, Golota is NO Lou Savaese. I like Lou, but he's always been little more than a decent club fighter with very limited skills and has always been very slow. Golota on the other hand has always been an A-Class skilled boxer with a virtual impeccable amateur record. Look for Golota to outclass Holyfield much like Larry Donald did, only with much heavier, hurtful shots. Golota can box inside or outside, he's a terrific inside fighter and even for his age, throws good inside combinations.

    A TKO win for Golota is not out of the question. After all James 'Roids' Toney was able to get Holy out of there, and Toney's punching power does not even compare to Golota's. In fact I heard Golota put loud mouth Toney on his ass during sparring. Joecool does not lie.

    Nope. Joecool tells it like it is.

    On another note, I saw Holyfield-Savarese...

    Having seen it, I'm convinced Golota wins in dominant fashion.

    :good

    You obviously missed Holyfield's fight against Savarese.

    Honestly, he's not even close to as good as he was in '96. A bad car accident ruined his once great jab just a few years after the Bowe fights. But he's shown that even at his age he's definitely still a player in the division. He arguably beat both Ruiz and Byrd for their belts. He definitely has enough to beat Holyfield, this I'll wager on.

    you all are just as lost as Andrew himself, Golota does not like a man who will pressure him he folds look at his fights with Tyson Lewis and Brewster Holyfield will pressure him and make him quit seriously.
    Golota though was good back in his day he does have mental issues and they will show up against Evander, to me the moment itself is something Golota has never been able to handle.
    Sure against a light hitting Byrd and a hugging Ruiz he did okay, but he still lost those fights, and was starched by Brewster Holyfield will break him down inside of six rounds.
