Point well taken, but you just described Mike Tyson's second career in a nutshell, aside from the out of shape part, something that pisses me off most about Samuel. As a fighter you need to sell your self, in the ring and outside it. A personality is welcomed in a boring division, as well as a toe to toe fighting style such as his. I know Peter isn't the second coming of Tyson, but at least he comes in looking to fight his oppenent, and you rarely get a boring fight out of him, the same thing cant be said for Wlad.
well tyson become a sideshow after holyfield beat him the first time. people wanted to see him impode like watching a carwreck. it's more than anything i dont think peter is bad. he adds a ceratin flavor and is better than most here think. ignoring his many out of the ring faults, he is probably the strongest guy in boxing with a very good chin. he can do damage. i think only wlad and sultan would beat him right now. wlad by stoppage. other than that, id pick peter over everyone else. however, i think he is physically worsening every fight. his reflexes, speed and balance just dont look right anymore most of his nuthuggers including u aren't delusional anymore, understand his limitations with the possible exception of Swedeone. dude is crazy :yep
Golota is probably too old now, but in his prime he would make a fool of Peter, therefore I will vote for Golota. If there is any justice in the world Golota will win on a terrible judges decision to rectify his two absolutely robberies against Bryd and Ruiz.
As much as I hate to admit it, the past his prime Golota was stopped in the first by an even more limited fighter than Peter in the Brewster fight. But hope springs eternal, and its name is Andrzej.
The Nigerian Pizzaboy better not try giving Golota one of his famous back of the head shot's. Who know's what Golota might do?
fall down most likely :yep golota needs to survive the first 3 rounds. if he can do that, he gives himself a chance with his skills. the longer is goes, the better off he is which is stange to say for such an old guy. but his size could really bother peter. i'd expect peter to be around 255 since he'll feel he doesnt have to train. golota better be warmed up though. if u watch his early ko losses to brewster and lewis, he was dry as a bone. peter will surely jump all over him i would be pulling for golota but id expect an early peter ko
\ My lord, hadn't thought of that, he will headbutt Peter to death and then rip off his head and **** down his neck. In the ring, on live TV.
If Peter by any chance descides to even TRY to cheat agaisnt Andrew, he will pay. See Bowe I and II. But I highly doubt Golota would even referr to illegal tactics again. Unles Eddie Cotton is the Ref.
I can see Golota winning this if he takes it seriously. If he weathers the first round or two I think that he will win he is a better boxer. Don King probably wants a big payday in Europe with Golota and Vitali
Now that I think about each fighter's attributes and deficiencies, I think Golota had better put forth his absolute best effort to keep that jab pumping, early, in order to keep Peter off of him. If Peter manages to get past Golota's jab, gets inside, and start hammering away on a Golota who is up against the ropes, that won't be good, cause I doubt Golota's defense will be enough to protect him from those wild, looping Peter haymakers. They'll be raining down from all angles, and will be wreckless and wide. And it was wide hooks that landed to the side of the head that Brewster took Golota out with. I think Andrew had better get his jab pumping like a piston when the bell rings, cause if Peter gets inside, it may be too late. Cause protecting against a wailiing away Peter will be quite different than protecting against Mollo.
Being that we're on the subject of illegal tactics, is there anyway we can lobby for Steve Smoger to ref this fight? I know he's a little guy, but he's been a ref for a Golota fight in the past. Andy needs all the help he can get & Smoger will see to it that no nonsense goes on in there. Thats what would really throw Golota off kilter, if Peter is allowed to foul & the ref ignores it. (((((((((((((((((WE NEED SMOGER FOR THIS ONE)))))))))))))))))))) :deal
