How good was the Golota that fought Bowe?

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

but the guy had no heart.

Try watching the sanders fight.

Bowe by that time also had brain damage. It's not even up for interpretation it’s just bloody obvious.

Bullshit. Arguably the best american HW of the 90's got his arse handed to him that's why you hear all these crappy excuses about bowe being shot at 28 lol. He had just beaten evander for a 2nd time and stopped hide and gonzalez ffs but he was brain damaged! Please....

You're right, Bowe had to be in the shape of his life to beat heavyweight legends Herbie Hide and Gonzalez.
He only beat Holyfield because Holyfield had hepatitis and gassed trying to finish Bowe after knocking him on his fat ass.
Just looking at the physique of Bowe in his nearly days to then says it all.

Andrew the Nutcracker Golata had some jab and more than adequate right hand. He shouldn't have been allowed to watch any movie where nuts were mentioned. Bowe is one of those guys who doesn't get caught doing the dastardly deeds that causes a loss of points. I don't know what it was with Golata but I saw John Ruiz in another light and he was getting dirtier as the fight went on. Golata could have been champion and he fooled everyone with his peed and his punches traveled quick because most of them were straight but the uppercuts and hooks had a mind of their won and I don't remember if Bowe ever had a deep voice after that fight. In the Ruiz fight Golata looked like the good guy. Ain't that a bitch for the four rounds I actually did see.

I thought the Golota that beat Chris Byrd and John Ruiz was pretty good too

ı remmeber watchıng the 1st fıght ınjuly 1996 on hbo -- ı had never even herd of golota but holy shıt ı wıll never ever forget that hot humıd NJ nıght watchıng that ıncredıble fıght--ıncredıble ın so many ways. Rıght b4 the fıght--they dıd a lıttle ıntro about golota sınce alot of people obvıously dıdnt really know hım at that poınt. Golota gave a lıttel pre-recorded spewech about polısh beer, polısh sausages and polısh fıghters, a lıttle comıc spıel that ı thought was rather weırd. And the fıght that followed was wıerder stıll! Amazıng fıght--- Ill never forget ıt--and YES goplota showed some amazıng speed for a heavyweıght wıth joltıng accurate straıght punches wıth both hands. too bad he self -destructed. he was a bıg dısappoıntment to a lot of fans.

I've always though that Golota and Bowe were a lot alike. Both had great HW size, skill and power (More so for Bowe). Unfortunately Bowe never saw a twinkie he didn't like and Andrew just fell apart in the ring.

Golota was a head case who could freeze and get blown away early or very rarely be competitive against the best fighters. He has the right tools but not the mentality to be the top fighter he should have been.

yeah....umm, the doctors have said he was brain damaged so its not so much of an opinion. There was a youtube video that discussed this in great detail and they track his speech patterns and discuss his tests. Not making an excuse for the Golota beatings but he didnt pull that argument out of his ass as your "Please" suggests.

When did the doctors say he was brain damaged exactly? You do know boxers have to pass a medical don't you? If anyone had 'fragility' of the brain it was golota! Are you trying to tell us that bowe was a mongoloid, 50% of the fighter he was a year before? Did he suddenly suffer a stroke or something!!!! GTFO....bowe say's he avoided jail by saying he was brain damaged!

bowe say's avoided jail by saying brain damaged? lock him up - Stripers247.com Forums

Lawyer: Bowe brain-damaged when agreed to plead guilty | chronicle.augusta.com

He pleaded brain damage to avoid jail!

He then publicly denies he has brain damage lol:

Bowe Ready To Box, Denies Brain Damage - New York Daily News

Sounds to me like his fans are in denial about the fact that golota was the better boxer, Regardless of the low blows...just want to be clear, are you saying he was not the fighter who fought holyfield? lol......

I actually had a momentary lull at work and had a moment to look at your post and links so first of all you didn't understand my post. The red headed lady with the glassses who is the doctor in Neveda for alot of the fights(can't think of her name) has publicly said this. She has noted that the change in speech pattern b/w the first Holyfield fight and the first Golota fight was clearly indicative of severe brain damage. It was night and day. Also I am a believer that Golota would have given Bowe trouble at any point of his career due to his size and serviceable jab. As I said in my previous post this was NOT an excuse for Bowe's performances but for you to just dismiss the evidence of medical professionals so nonchalantly is just silly. If you think Bowe is inferior to Golota just say so and leave it at that. Also your links really don't help you much. What person with any real sense would publicly admit that he faked brain damage to avoid jail? That just proves that he is clearly touched now. Another point I would like to make is that Bowe is a fighter who clearly wants to fight so of course he is going to say he is okay. There is a story going aroung that he is going to fight Golota in a MMA match! This doesn't reek of a man that needs money and will say whatever in order to fight, but I digress from the true point of my initial post which was that you can't take a doctor's opinion and toss it out as BS so nonchalantly without proof to refute. It is quite clear that Bowe did alot of this to himself by not taking care of himself and I AGREE WITH YOU that Golota would have given him that beating without brain damage but for a different reason probably. By the way....I Am NOT A BOWE NUTHUGGER by any stretch.
