i've just watched his epic battles with riddick bowe again, my goodness he beat the life out of bowe, then went and got himself dq'd in both fights while he was clearly winning them
he obviously was at that time a good fighter with solid chin and heart. does anyone think that if he maintained that form he could have ruled the heavyweight division
i would say yes,same with Tyson too :)
Golota is a very skilled big guy but lacks heart to continue when things really heat up, Bowe 1 & 2, M.Grant, L.Lewis and M.Tyson. He did not get a chance to dissconnect in the Brewster fight.
All I have to say regarding the man is..."I had to bite the Mother Fuker." ;D ;D ;D
Golota had all the tools to be a really good HW, but he had no heart and was emotionally so unstable...you can add him to the long list of woulda coulda shoulda...but never did
No, Don King pretty much hang up on him after that first knockdown ;DQuote:

i think it truely is a shame because he was a monster in the bowe fights but soon after he lost all heart and will to dig deep
dam shame
He sure as hell didn't help the stereotype his people suffer fromQuote:
