    Prime Golota beats the **** out of him and outclasses him along the way. Seriously. Haye would get ****ed up against 1996 Golota!

    I really wish Golota was 28 now instead of 1996.

    The division was cruel and competitive back then.

    I hate to ****ing say it, but Golota's biggest career mistake was not signing with Don King a good 8-10 years earlier than he did.

    With or without King, AG just couldn't seem to step up to the plate in big moment situations. Had he been able to, your looking at a HW Champ for a few years, no doubt.

    With DK, I think he wins a belt early, gets some safe fights, builds some confidence, and we have a domino-effect that rewrites boxing history as we know it were Golota goes down as one of the best in a generation!

    And I honestly believe if one or two little things went differently, that could well have happened.

    Only thing is, had Golota signed with Don King I doubt we would have ever witnessed two of the most action packed fights in boxing history (Bowe-Golota 1 and 2). So let's just say it would have been perfect if he had dropped Main Events just after the Bowe fights and signed with King. But as Jetski said, with or without King, Golota was just too mentally fragile in his prime to win the big ones. However I think he would of had a much better chance at beating belt holders like Moorer, Ruiz, Holyfield opposed to all time greats like Lewis and Tyson. I mean ****...Golota would have schooled the living **** out of John Ruiz had they fought in the 90s! Team Golota should have recognized how mentally fragile Golota was and managed him accordingly. Instead they put too much faith in his superior skills/talent and underestimated his mental midgetness.

    Here's a little clip of Gary Shaw who used to play some kinda role in the management of Golota. He knew what a physical beast Golota was in his prime.

    Not real sure what to think of it either Rums. Golota is SOOOOOOOO shot. Has no chin left. He's the only HW Adamek has stopped and stopped him with relative ease. Austin put him on his ass in under two seconds. A farewell fight against even a bum like Jack Basting seems risky to me.

    Andrew Golota could have reigned 10 years as the undisputed heavyweight champion if he had the ref from the Agbeko-Mares fight.

    Even Vinnie Maddelone beats Golota 2011.

    His comeback for a farewell fight is not a good idea, given how bad he looked in his last few fights. Golota would end up further embarrassing himself.
