      I dont think so. He did have skill which is often forgotten about because of his history and non-stop screw ups, but top ten all time????

        Vargas: Trinidad, Dela Hoya, Mosley(2x) (ALL BY TKO)

        Who do you think is worse big fight choker between the two fighters above? Is there any other big-name fighter who is worse in the clutch than these two?

        Vargas isnt a choker? Those fights with Oscar, Felix and Shane were all close. Golota on the other hand gets dropped with soft punches and makes funny faces in the process.

              IFFF he would've beat the guys in his big fights???Let's see:

              Lewis- he couldnt beat Lennox on his best night
              Tyson- would've gotten KO'd sooner or later
              Grant- who cares
              Brewster- see Tyson
              Bowe- was a shot fighter.
              Byrd- woulda been a good win
              Ruiz- come on now.

              I try to respect everyone's opinion but gimmie a break

                golota by far. golota chokes to mental pressure and just pretty much quits when hes hurt or knocked down whereas vargas just has no chin

                  im sure golota could beat lewis and tyson if he survived the first couple rounds, golota is a big and very skilled guy with an awsome jab, its just to bad his head is so messed up ruined a perfect chance at a great career

                    Lets not call Vargas a choker, he is just a B+ fighter is all. Mosley is A list.

                      If you want to compare Golota to anyone take another headcase like Oliver McCall.
