Wow Barry, this match could simply be billed as "Psycho II"

McCall winning by DQ.

I've got 25-1 odds no one would ever describe what unfolded as, "great."

It would have been a good fight to watch.

It would be nice if Golota was controlled in his
application of the uppercut to the cup.

McCall by KO or DQ.

And there have been many many more greater fights that didn't happen.

Nigel Benn vs James Toney

That would have been full of genuine spite. Unforunately, Toney would win by late stoppage. I being a Benn Fan.

Quite on topic...

Surprised it never happened now that its mentioned.
Both guys are from here in Chicago.McCall kicks his ass when Golota gets frustrated and loses focus when he cant hurt Oliver.
I got McCall belting out Golota without too much trouble.

Andrew Golota vs. Oliver McCall (between '94-'96 would have been the best time for them to fight.) This would have been a classic fight in my eyes.

What happens?

Does Andrew dropkick Oliver's manhood?

Does Oliver start to tremble and bang his head against the canvas screaming?

Sadly any "dream match" involving Golota contains the strong risk Andrew would freeze and simply not show up and get taken out early or quit. The golota seemingly had deepseated pscycological issues and nervousness, which affected him at all the key moments in his career. He threw many fights away when if he could have coped mentally he would have won. perhaps the worst case of someone who made it so far to world level with such a mixed up irrational in ring psyche.

He basically quit against Bowe twice, Grant, Lewis,and Tyson.
