    I would tend to pick Sharkey.

    Both were dirty ba*****s but Sharkey had his head screwed on tighter and made it work for him.

    It would turn into a war then a foul fest and the foul Pole would crack mentaly, doing something that made him loose the fight.

    Sharkey did knock out opponents as big as Golotta. Shades of Jack Dempsey.

    Well, we know Golota is bigger, right? He's 8 inches taller than Sharkey, and has a came-at-you, bully mentality in the ring where he takes no prisoners. Golota said before his rematch with Bowe, "A fight is a fight, not day care." Let me make it simple for you: Andrew Golota, the Beast from the East, would wear Tom Sharkey down in a manner reminscent of Julio Cesar Chavez. The way this one would end would be Sharkey's corner throwing in the towel before the penultimate round after their man was frustrated and beaten up with brute force by Golota who would use his roughneck approach to battle out a victory (Sharkey has a more powerful punch but Andrew uses his height and roughneck advantages to outwrestle Sharkey).

    It's certainly a plausible scenario, but with Sharkey's lack of finesse or size I think Golota might be encouraged to bite the bullet and stick in there.It would be funny if he did a Tyson on Sharkey's cauliflower ear!
