Golota Returning

[Majesty]

sad thing is that he at one point should have been both WBA and IBF hw champion

Then Brewster would have been the WBA IBF and WBO Champ and then Sergei would be the holder of those 3 belts, Wladimer may not be champion, and you could have Shannon Briggs as the Undusputed Champ if he wins this fight.

[El Kabong]

Oh Briggs as undisputed champ would be soooo wonderful

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!

[DaxxKahn]

Why??....I thought he had great potential at one time but IMO he is the Judah of Heavyweights

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...

I agree on thjat one he kind of faded away for a bit then all of a sudden he got what 2 or 3 title shots in a row..I criticized it when it happened thought it wasn't fair to some of the other contenders on the top 10 but...

He fought pretty good against the punching Lewis

Early next year I'd like to see Golota or briggs come up against TUA.
It would be nice to find out which one of them is serious about a comeback.

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.

Briggs did so well because Lewis did a lot of things very poorly, jabbing was the MAIN reason he got caught...but after that fight Briggs was never the same

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.

Golota always shoots himself in the foot...ALWAYS...give him a title shot vs ANYONE and he'll lose

Tua has this court stuff to worry about with his former managers

I always thought that to be funny about Lewis.....One minute he looked like crap the next he was fighting like an all time great.....He was another guy like Wald....You loved hid fights because you would get a great performance but the KO loss factor was always there

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...

Well both times he came in out of shape ( I mean really out of shape) he was KO'd he was out of shape in the McCall fight...And for Rahman 1 he had stopped training weeks before the fight to film his part in Oceans 11...But when he returned in the rematchs..Well McCall broke down but Lennox was doing beautifully...And in Rahman 2 he made a statement with that KO...Plus he easily beat guys like Golota ( IMO He ruined Golota as a fighter..Golota never had the heart he did in the Bowe fights after that fight)...And he always dispatched of the up and coming pretenders....Morrision,,Grant...Plus his fights with Holyfield and one sided beating of Tyson ( another guy I credit Lewis to ending him as a fighter...What little bit that was there)...IMO Lennox was the most dominating champion since Holmes...His Opp was better than Tysons and he never melted down in the ring or out

I didn't mean to say he wasn't dominating or not a better champ than Tyson, he certainly was...It's just that when not properly prepared LL had a nasty habit of fighting down to his opponents level and it lent for some shocking surprises...remember most American fans were hoping LL would get KO'd so his ocassional "falling down on the job" always had people buzzing when he was to fight...

Everyone get your CUPS!

Save everyone's nuts in the HWD and stay retired

[ElTerribleMorales]

Evander Holyfield has a better chance at winning a world title, and that says a lot, at least the Real Deal can still take a punch and keep going, in Golota's last fight the only "punch" landed was more of a slap when he was wailing his arms around on the way to the canvas

Thats all done Lyle.
The court stuff is all over.
The big battle that TUA has now is against his waistline.
I don't know if he has the desire to train really hard, or if it will be overpowered by the desire to eat himself into retirement.
