Golota fights on level terms with Old George for three or four rounds until he gets tagged and stopped. Young George blitzes Golota out in one or two rounds.
Golota at his absolute best had good mobility, could box well, and decent speed for a big man. That version...that hadn't developed the habit of quitting just yet...could have been a difficult task for 1991 George, and possibly could have decisioned him, especially over 10 rounds.
Do not like Golata's defense whatsoever against the big hitters. And once tagged or hurt all he can do is fight his way out of trouble. Won't work against George and one of those bouts would end in a brutal ko.
Literally no chance Foreman in his comeback fights, punchers chance but I think he gets stopped himself actually… Prime GF had a strong will was aggressive, wore shots well and pressed his man with every punch being a whopper… Golota would be faster, stronger, bigger, taller and the better boxer by a bit but I think his mindset was wrong for a wilful terrier like GF if he had the momentum going and was scoring he’d do alright and you’d need to hope on GF running on fumes… now AG did have the right idea on beating GF watch the Bowe fights and what he did on the inside he “could” do it but probably wouldn’t. My 0.2 if Foreman doesn’t overwhelm him (more likely) he may not self destruct before GF gasses out and win.
Golota may win against the old Foreman, looking at how poor George looked sometimes, but I think in the end he still folds mentally and quits.
Golota would outbox old George until his power made him feel too uncomfortable and cause him to find a way out. Young Foreman would knock Golota out inside of 4.
‘91 Foreman didn’t have the intensity and the pace to break Golota. He was more of a sharp-shooter, very good at getting people under a false sense of security and catching them when they least expect it, but Golota was a very solid boxer once he got into a rythm, I don’t think Foreman would be able to trap him and lead him into his huge uppercuts and overhands. Golota was also a big dude (6’4 and 250 lbs), I don’t think Foreman can just walk forward, plant his feet and throw bombs like he did against smaller HWs like Moorer and Holyfield, he’d be risking too much if he opened himself up to be hit like that. Only thing Foreman can do here is to shell up and walk forward behind a stiff jab hoping to land something big, but Golota is way too technically sharp for that to work, I think he gets a clear UD and busts Foreman up bad in the process. 70s Foreman crushes Golota though. I’ll die on the hill that Foreman’s deceptive speed and weird sense of timing was the real reason behind his legendary power. He always moved faster than he was advertised to be and he threw these weird shots that looked extremely sloppy but somehow landed clean and flush. I think a young Foreman would back Golota up with his jab, catch him early with a good right hand and then pummel him to pieces by the ropes.
