Golota would actually do pretty good for a couple of rounds...using his superior left jab...but when Baer finally lands a big right hand, the Pole would wilt, then panic just before Maxie crushes him.
The Golota from the Bowe fights destroys Baer. Too much skill, too much talent, too much man. Actually a lot of lesser versions of Golota beat him too. Not much of a contest actually.
I agree. Baer's physical attributes were real but he was not a very good boxer. Golota at his best was an excellent boxer and he had big power. I don't think Baer was better than Bowe and Golota was clocking Bowe. The only wildcard is whether Golota has a melt down in the ring and hits Baer with a mallet in the nuts or something.
