Greatest Polish Fighters Ever

[boozeboxer]

This thread was inspired by another brilliant thread: "How do I make a pole?"

SO I got to thinking who where/are some top notch Polish fighters??

Golota
Adamek are still fighting.

[El Kabong]

Dariusz Michalzweski
Saleta


Those guys were the typical protected Polskis

[Kel]

Michalczewski and Golota are the only ones I know of

[killersheep]

Dariusz Michaelewski (Sp.?) <----------

Golota was probably the dirtiest Polish fighter ever.

I think when all is said and done Adamek will be on the list.

Krystof Włodarczyk is pretty decent as well.

My knowledge of Polish fighters is very limited.

Years ago I was in Budapest for a fight and was introduced to Lazlo Pap. We had time and with an interpreter had a long conversation on why in the early 50s Hungary produced excelent sportmen, and why it had stopped, He told me it was because Russia had invaded and ruled, and that the Hungarians had lost all self respect and there Hearts werent in it anymore. Thats probably why non of the Sattalite States have produced to many great Athletes since the war. Only the Female East Germans had success and we all know why that is

Saleta was already famous as a kick boxer before he turned to pro boxing. Today, he is seen on TV very often. Probably, because he has the most brains and handsome looks of them all.

Argueably one of the GREATEST threads in Saddo history...


As for the greatest Polish fighter...
Without a doubt Dariusz...

Golota
Adamek
"Diablo"
Saleta had some good wins and fought good oppostion.
Goldberg (who fought the great Manuel Ortiz)
Sosnouski at least deserves a mention...


A up and coming Polish fighter Grzegorz Proksa (sp?) is making a lot of noise. Then there's also Damian Jonak who only 23 and is doing well.

I'm pretty sure Dmitri Pirog is Polish. He might be just regular Russian though.

Golota imo was the best Polish fighter ever. He really should have been world champion, people forget how good he looked before he dipped below the belt on Bowe. Had he possessed any composure at all he would have been a really great champion imo.

Better then Dariusz?

As far as talent goes I think so. Not a slight to Dariusz either but I think Golota could have been one of the great fighters of the 90's if he wasn't such a headcase. He looked like a machine against Nicholson and then Bowe twice but anytime a guy took his best shot he would get dirty. I remember Lampley being horrified by his headbutt in the Nicholson fight. Was a bit of a precursor to the Bowe fights. Of course Dariusz will go down as the greater fighter but I think Golota had more talent and potential.

Gotta say I'm really surprised at this comment...
Dariusz better then Golota... Hhhhmmmm

I don't even know what to reply... I mean if Dariusz wasn't skilled how in the hell did he reign as a champ for that long.
A lot of people forget (tho just a quick dip) he was also a Cruiserweight champ.
I guess tho to each is own.
