What a fight this would’ve been, they could’ve fought but vitali was just a prospect when golota was fighting top contenders and champions.

Thoughts? @Roping Subhuman @moggingmachine @Tellem--t

The golota from the bowe fight vs the vitali from the lewis fight, it would be a classic.

Golota was fighting in the 80s/90s,
How old are you jfl
No, he was fighting till 2014 jfl
I remember watching his fights with my family when i was 7. He wasnt young that time but still he was the best from polish boxers.

I know that, but you said back then, which implied his prime which was the 80s and 90s

He had no commendable wins in the later part of his career

Interesting matchup

I think Vitali would win, Golota would probably get himself DQed even after he catches Vitali's chin. Vitali would put him down in round 2 imo.

Golota was an interesting case, very talented and absolutely battered Bowe in both fights prior to hitting him in the nuts jfl. I think he even was a favorite in the eyes of many journalists and experts prior to his bout again Lennox Lewis. I think he legitimately suffered from panic attacks because he could literally never keep it together inside the ring. Vitali has one of the best chins ever in the heavyweight division and has a really punishing style that puts most guys away. I think Vitali batters him if they fought in their primes tbh.

How did he 'accidentally' hit Bowe in the nuts 4 times?

Did his hand just gravitate there or what?

Didn't he quit against a washed up Mike Tyson after a couple of rounds? Also when Mike Tyson failed the post fight drug test because he was getting high in his dressing room beforehand.

I think he had mental issues

He had some form of stage fright.

That wasn't because of lack of boxing abilities, he just mentally wasn't well.

To be honest, all fighters nowadays are trash.

The only good fighter that I can remember was Mike Tyson and that's it.

Edit: also Muhammad Ali.
