Prime Wlad v Prime Golota?

Wlad has far better footwork than Golota and is much harder to hit. Golota is a difficult opponent for Wlad, but he is not someone to rush Wlad like Sanders did or to take inhumane punishment and outlast him, like Purrity or Brewster.

Besides, if Golota hurts Wlad and is on his way to winning, he will find a way to **** thins up and lose.

 

Golota was weak mentally, but physically he would be one of the strongest Wladimi'r opponents. Overall 70 to 30 for Wladimir.

 

Golota jabs a black eye into Wlad, then bites him on the throat and loses by disqualification.

 

Wlad's losses never had to do with size. His toughest fight since 2005 was 6'1 Peter in the first fight. He uses his height much better than most tall fighters, therefore McCline, Thompson or Austin were as much at a disadvantage as many smaller fighters.

 

Wlad wins, because of Golota's mentality. However I can see Golota outjabbing Wladimir for a few rounds. Until he tastes Wladimir right hand a few times.

 

Wlad wins because of common sense.

 

Bowe was lazy and had suspect conditioning. Wlad would not take the onslaught that Bowe took vs Golata....he would counter and counter much harder than Bowe did and the Foul Pole would be on the canvas early and often. Golata's only chance would be to catch him with something early a la Corrie Sanders.

 

The Golota that fought Bowe, could potentially do what Sander's did to Wlad. If he fights aggressively, he might put away Dr Steel Hammer. It was only because of Riddick's iron chin that made Andrew threw that fight. Once he knew couldn't finish him, he got frustrated, and completely lost the plot with the low blows. Or then there's the argument that Wlad really has learned on how to deal with someone like Sander's size, and puts the right hand down on Andrews questionable chin...
A toss up 50 / 50 in my opinion....

 

Golota probably has Wlad wobbled, then freaks the **** out and pisses himself/starts biting him or something.
