Assuming Golota doesn't have a mental breakdown, and Tubbs shows up in-shape, what is the outcome of this fight?
The premise (Tubbs showing up in shape and Golota not having some sort of mental emergency) is almost too hard to believe. But assuming it happens, I pick Golota without hesitation.
This fight is a statistical impossibly. A true mythical match up. But I think Tubbs was far better than Golota, and even did better vs a better Bowe.
Golota's mental breakdowns typically occurred when he was facing a puncher. Against non-punchers like Byrd and Ruiz, an aging Golota performed well enough to arguably win either fight. If Tubbs doesn't have the power to rattle him, then I think Golota has an excellent chance of winning this.
Fully agree with RL. Golota was scared to death of Lewis & Tyson. Doesn't mean he's gonna be scared of Tubbs. I feel like 96 Golota is the favorite here.
