Basically, the fight between boxers who are often referred to as "head case".

Both were physically gifted and had ability, when they were willing to use it.

Both never won a title, despite being challengers multiple times.

Let's take their versions from November 2004, when both fought on the same card and came up just a little short in separate title attempts.

Golota from the Ruiz fight, McCline from the Byrd fight.

Who wins?

Golota destroys McCline.

McCline would make a "Big Time" by outjabbing Golota and landing left-right combinations to either take a decision or making him quit in the late rounds.
