Not a huge galota fan but hes cetainly a big bad man and the heavywieght division is slowly getting better and he would add to a somewhat small list of genuine contenders that we have these days
thanks for the news bro!
Hasn't the man embarrassed himself enough?
forgive and forget i say ....Quote:

No I think he would still be a good acid test for Sultan Ibragimov, Joe Mesi, and so on.Quote:

Yeah you right. I can easily see him making Ibragimov and Mesi look like the next great champion like he did with Lamont BrewsterQuote:

Mesi's power is in doubt since his injury
Golota never stopped being a good fighter he just stopped trying
I don't see anything to suggest that Golota will be any more improved than he was a decade ago.
After Lamon Brewster offed him he really shouldn't be considered a threat to the division.Quote:

Golata is both.
Golata has the body and ability but not the mentality of a boxer.
Golata cant defend against presure fighters. All he has to do is avoid them, and he will do fine.Quote:

He quit vs Tyson
Anywho, at the time Golota fought Brewster, Andrew had IMO beat Byrd and Ruiz but never got the decision. And Brewster had a CLOSE fight with Kali Meehan but he did beat Wladimir Klitschko by shear determination, he took punch after punch and kept coming forward...now he never showed he could just come out and blast someone in the first couple minutes.
I thought Golota had a GREAT shot at beating Brewster alas I was proven wrong. Golota-Liakhovich or Golota-Valuev would be good matches.
That was the situation. I though Golota had beat both of the two current longest reigning alphabet champions. In fact the fight against Brewster was in Chicago, and was presented as if it was finnaly Golata's turn to win a World Title.Quote:

Yeah and so he hired Mr. Excitement as his trainer...oooh did you see that jab?....how about that one?....ANOTHER ONE!!! Wow, he's tearing that guy up
Golota quit on his stool between the second and third rounds. Fight was ruled a KO. Then Tyson failed the post fight drug test by testing positive for Marijuana. Fight outcome was changed to No Contest.Quote:

sad thing is that he at one point should have been both WBA and IBF hw champion
Very true.
I do think a fight with Maskaev would be decent!
Why??....I thought he had great potential at one time but IMO he is the Judah of Heavyweights
Golota is doing the right thing. It is very important that he wins a championship belt ow he will kill himself or something.
He actually only lost to Brewster and Lewis and otherwise he made himself lose. He destroyed Bowe; that was vicious.
I think that he can make it if he MAKES HIS MIND UP. He needs Teddy Atlas who is all about fixing the fighters mind.
Do you think its the steroids making him mad?

Yes he beat Bowe, and Ruiz and should have been champion 3 times over.
But for us fans: it would be delicious to have an Insane HW Champ again;
No one can miss Golota fighting contenders and champs; you never know he may be brilliant or criminally insane. He may be ironchinned or collapse.
He just needs to avoid people who come out fast. Corrie Sanders would always have killed him; fast hands hitting like hammers and go for the kill in the first round.
Any match up would be intriguing. Toney-Golota (I would watch it) Peter Golota, Klitchko golota, Maskaev Golota, maccall Golota, I would watch any of them.
I have to agree with you there. When it was time to put up or shut up, Golota gave up.Quote:

I fucking love this guy, he is a trainwreck. Always enteraining in a sick way.
Even worse....Golota is a nut and basically had titles handed to him and could not capitalize...he had his chance, it's time to move on...Quote:

Briggs is garbage, he MAY have a shot vs Maskaev simply due to his age. Sergei SHOULD outbox him and make him look old, Wlad would wreck Shannon Briggs which is why Shannon took the fight vs Lyakhovich anyways, because Shannon doesn't like punchers, never wanted to fight one and has "beaten" one...and I use the term "beaten" very loosely. Foreman should have been given the decision!

He fought pretty good against the punching LewisQuote:

Very true but Lewis let him get off first to begin with...both guys took some really hard shots and overall that was a pretty fun fight to watch.Quote:

None of them are...Briggs has had oppertunities to step up his competition in recent years but he hasn't, Briggs has stayed active though.Quote:

Well said!.... his lack of consistency was probably his biggest drawing factor...The one thing that was consistant though was when he came in prepared he was a force...Quote:
