    Both at their absolute best, who takes this one? Would be a hell of a fight I think, however long it lasts.

    Golota was slow starter. Haye ko. Too dynamics, too fast.

    I voted - draw.
    I don't know exactly why I always mixed up David Haye and Chris Byrd (maybe because both of them are not "purebred" heavyweights, but came from lower categories).
    Considering that Golota was imho closer to winning the fight against Byrd...
    I doubt that Golota would win anyway - because of the mental moment.
    There are many ways Golota could ruin his lead :)

    Haye has become so underrated because of the two farces with Bellew. In 2008 he absolutely flattens any version of Golota. The stiff Pole has lived off of the Bowe fights as much as Sinead O'Connor milked her only single anybody remembers.

    Haye would win and it would be the beginning of the end for Golota as soon as Haye lands, he did have skill, was fast, his attacks were unorthodox at times and he had knockout power.
