    Golota beats Tua's fat butt. Golota is the top candidate for most talented HW to throw it all away. Maybe at any weight!

    Herol Graham springs to mind - certainly the best Brit never to win one, or perhaps Henry Cooper, as he was the first man to 'KO' Cassius Clay.

    I don't know about that. Both fighters were with MainEvents years ago & Duve had them spare a bit. That didn't last too long, as Golota was schooling the 1 dimensional left-hook artist.
