Andrew Golota vs Hasim Rahman

Can the slow plodding Rahman hit Golota hard enough and often enough to win?

 

The Golota of 96 would stop Rachman. I don't care how mentally weak he was. Rachman is too shitty for Golota to lose this one.

 

Rahman would be Golota's best win by a mile. It should really go without saying that Golota finds a way not to win. Probably by taking off the last 4 rounds and it ending a controversial draw.

 

I think Golota should have two Ws in his record that are as good as Rahman: I thought he did beat both Byrd and Ruiz so he didn't choke against every single good opponent (only about 80 % of them)

 

Probably Rahman.

 

Still managed to escape without the feared 'W' from easily winnable fights. If the fight's remotely important, its just what he does.

 

I think the Rock ko's him eventually

 

Golota was more talented but as Hut says, he'll find a way to lose it. You just know it.

 

Golota wins no doubt. Rahman is a plodder and his power is overrated. Who did he ever KO besides Lewis ? Golota would box circles around him and pick him apart. Rahman is not a pressure fighter. He's a slow paced plodder with a slow decent right hand and a crappy chin. He is not scaring or pressuring the Golota enough for Golota to fold. Golota KO 8

 

I'd make Golota a 3 to 2 favorite

 

Golota should be able to win easily, he's far more talented and skilled... however...

 

Pick em. Depends on which Golota shows up and which Rahman shows up.

 

wow, a matchup between two guys who sure know how to lose when they're favored.

 

Rahman was ever favored ?

 

over maskaev (twice), holyfield, toney (the first fight), ruiz.

 

The Golota of the Bowe fights stops any version of Rachman.

Bowe had the toughness to take those brutal beatings and still hang around. Rockhead never would have been able to take that much punishment.
