How good was the Golota that fought Bowe?

[Mars_ax]

He certainly had a very short prime, but in those 2 fights he dominated one of the best HWs of the era. If he continued that form, how good could he have been?

Bowe's only "official" loss in his career was to Evander Holyfield, a razor close MD, in the 2nd of their 3 fights, Bowe had won the 1st fight and stopped Holyfield in the 3rd fight.

Golota "the foul Pole", had his moments in his career, and he always had a punchers chance in fights, no matter who he was in against. The sad part of Golota's 2 fights with Bowe, was rather then getting disqualified for low blows, he could have actually won both fights if he'd kept his punches up.

Riddick Bowe was strange for his height and size, he should of been a great boxer on the outside but he wasn't. He was a great inside fighter but only an average fighter on the outside, which showed when he got a gift decision vs a past his best Tony Tubbs, and also struggled vs Tyrell Biggs, both who fought him on the outside.

Even though Riddick Bowe was past his prime, i think Andrew Golota would of always have troubled him. Because Andrew Golota was a good outside fighter with a very good jab he murdered Riddick Bowe with the jab.

As for the question i think Andrew Golota skillfully was a very good fighter, when he fought Riddick Bowe. Good speed, good skills, good jab, good combinations, decent power. But i wouldn't favour him vs any of the great Heavyweight's because he's just too weak mentally and remember skills is only 50 percent of being a pro boxer you got to have the mental game and Andrew Golota never did.
