    David Haye vs. Andrew Golota

    Seeing as the Rahman fight fell through, what if Haye were to fight Golota as his step-up back to the HW division?

    Judging by Golota's history against power hitters, I'd say Haye blows him out in the first round. A 40 year old Golota is not a legit test at HW at all.

      The Rahman fight didn't exactly fall through, there's still a chance of it happening in November if Rahman beats Toney.

      Anyway, I think Haye wins. Golota is too slow now.

        Yeah, but Haye needs to fight already, I don't want him to wait too long before his re-entry into the HW division. Golota could be a good first fight for Haye.

          Mike Mollo couldn't hurt Golota and Mollo is a natural heavy weight compared to Haye... HAHAHAAHAHAHA, Golota looked bad ass in his last fight and most of you must not have seen it, he was in incredible shape looked very muscular and for a big guy he moved pretty fast even though you all think he is slow. David Haye ko Golota??? HAHAHA, yeah right that will be the day. This fight won't happen either because its too much of a risk for Haye.

          No one even wants Golota after he easily disposed of mike mollo who should have been ko'd but the ref let mollo clinch for 12 rounds. Andrew Golota wasn't even suppose to win that fight and was the huge underdog going in. And I know mollo isn't that great but for an old golota thats pretty impressive to wipe the floor with mollo.

            It would be a good name on his resume, not sure how big a test it would be though.

              Golota vs Lennox Lewis (bad example I know) LKO1
              Golota vs Mike Tyson (okay another bad example) LTKO2
              Golota vs Michael Grant (didn't exactly scorch the HW division) LTKO10
              Golota vs Lamon Brewster LTKO1

              I think it's safe to say that Golota's chin isn't granite and Haye stopping him not impossible.

                I don't think his chin is **** like everyone thinks it is, I think he had mental problems earlier in his career and that ****ed up his confidence level. If you seen those fights then you would know that he was knocked down but he got back up in each of them, his chin isn't **** his confidence is though. Golota has had some issues in the past but right now I think he is better then what people are giving credit to him for. And I think if Andrew didn't have so many mental problems when he was younger he could have beaten most of the fighters you listed, call me crazy and british fans will hate me for this but I think he'd even give Lennox Lewis big ass problems if Golota showed up. Its ashame his career ended up the way it did but he is far from a crappy fighter.

                  Wlad has always gotten up from every knockdown, but his chin is regarded as ****. And yes, I saw all of those stoppages except the Grant one. If this fight gets made, someone is getting stopped, guaranteed.

                    He got knocked down against Grant but refused to continue. In other words, he quit.
