Based on h2h abilities rather than achievements or legacy these are the top 15 greatest h2h european hwt fighters that won a version of the world heavyweight title. 1. Lennox Lewis 2. Vitali Klitschko 3. Wlad Klitschko 4. Anthony Joshua 5. Frank Bruno 6. Tyson Fury 7. David Haye 8. Nikolai Valuea 9. Max Schmeling 10. Herbie Hide 11. Henry Akinwande 12. Francesco Damiani 13. Ingemar Johansson 14. Bob Fitzsimmons 15. Primo Carnera
I think top 15 or10 at a push. But not top 5. I think Golota is a very good h2h fighter. But with how fragile he was mentally, I wouldn't feel comfortable putting him in the top 10
Well, he had enough attempts at winning a title. I think it was 4 unsuccessful attempts which could be a record or close to one.
Probably near enough Ken. I know Jersey Joe had 4 as well but he did manage it in the end. Bruno had 3 and coetzee two I believe. But Golata never got to hold a belt.
Golata made his name beating up a shot Bowe. He was a big strong bruiser of a fighter but never impressed me that much.
