    The Golota that ruined Bowe would have given Mike trouble but gotten frustrated when Mike wouldn't drop. Andrew would have either fouled out or given up by the 7th round at the latest.

    I don't know who the hell the guy was who fought Tyson that day, but it wasn't the guy who fought Bowe.

    I think that was he same day I slapped Tyson for dreaming of beating me up (he'd been hiding from me in Ohio but I found that little bee-otch!).

    Naturally, he apologized.

    I think the fear of golota actually motivated Mike to make one last great performance. I believe a little fear in a fighter is good. The fact that he broke golotas face in the first round coupled with golotas history when he encountered adversity honestly I think he'd just have quit again in a later round or found somewhere to fall down

    Mike’s performance against Savarese was impressive too.

    Basically, it would’ve been nice if he’d taken a big fight after Golota because he was still decent.

    I doubt Golata would have won unless he by some stroke of luck he made it to the late rounds where Tyson tired

    Tyson looked good in his 2000 fights.

    Not that it would have mattered against Lewis outside of a very unlikely punch (Lewis showed Tyson much more respect than he did Rahman).

    I don't think Golota was ever going to win that fight under about any circumstances.

    That fight was over at the Press conference/ stare down...........when Golata left his sun glasses on I knew right there and then the fight was over before it even started.

    The fight was over, unless you were looking for a public execution!
