    :lol:

    Golota couldn't cope with the fact that Bowe took everything he had and was still stood up, and basically bottled it.

    The courage Riddick showed in those fights was enormous, despite getting the **** knocked out of him each time.

    I was a Bowe-sceptic when I first joined ESB, calling him a chicken for ducking Lewis etc, but having seen the HBO features on his fights with Evander and Golota, I really gained an appreciation for the balls that he had.

    On this one, probably Foreman within about two rounds. If he was scared stiff of Lewis and daren't throw a punch, he'd be scared of a young George as well - I'd expect a similar outcome.

    Why did you have to go with 73 Foreman? If you're going to match a never-was against an ATG couldn't you at least not pick the most prime version of the ATG? Argh.

    I think you should calm down a little. I don't think Golota would beat George, I just watched the Golota-Bowe fights again the other night and wondered how people think the version of Golota who beat the absolute **** out of a top class big heavy like Bowe would fare against one of the best big men in history. The thread isn't an assassination attempt on big George.

    Xplosive but I think it was an accident, he says GF by KO in his post.

    Ps. If you want to see who voted for who then simply click on the numbers on the poll - assuming they have did a public poll, which thankfully, Popkins has :good

    Golota was terrible at handling pressure. There's no way he could of stood up to the type of pressure, power and presence Foreman would bring to a fight. This is over in a matter of minutes.

    Yeah, my bad. I was ashamed when I realized I had picked Golota.

    But some fool out there picked Golota FOR REAL.

    Hiting your opoent in the balls is not a KO.

    Golota would be intimiated by a prime Foreman. Either Foreman KO'S him in one or Golota looks for a way out.

    Once a few of those uppercuts from George starts landing, Golota would be thinking "fcuk this, I'm out of here."
