i cant help but feeling sorry for the gy. came back at old age to get a title.. a hardworker no doubt. i mean i think they should've given him the wins against byrd n ruiz at least u know. the brewster one, ok fine.
but i say he had a good run, n u gotta give him credit, for coming out to fight n work hard at 37.

yeah, he has worked hard and is just fighting everybody out there...

I am kind of wishing Hlyfield/Golota would have happened in the past...that may have been fun... :boxing:

golota hasnt won a big fight yet

hahahahahahahahah if you really think about it its kinda funny

you would think that with Grant, Bowe x2, Lewis, Tyson, Ruiz, Byrd, or Brewster...he would have landed one haymaker to stop one of them...his performances from best to worst..would some say that he did his best vs Byrd or Bowe?...he completely dominated Bowe before blowing it

1. did his best vs Byrd
2. did well vs Ruiz
3. did well vs Bowe in both fights before blowing it
4. did ok vs Grant and almost beat him
5. stood up and traded with smaller Tyson but got blown
6. froze vs Lewis
7. didn't have time to freeze vs Brewster, blown out

i thought his best title fight was against byrd, i had it 7-5 after watching the fight twice. it really wasnt his fault for that one but after looking back on his career id say he was cursed like barkley, stockton, malone, and ewing. they were just born at the wrong time aka jordans time, golota was in his prime when fighters like lewis, holyfield and tyson were dominating the division. golota was a solid fighter and might have been champ had he born born 5 years later and hit his prime now.

From best to worst performance would look like this

1. Bowe 2
2. Bowe 1
3. Grant
4. Byrd
5. Ruiz
6. Tyson
7. Lewis
8. Brewster

ye but u kno wat i mean man, u can't help but feel sorry for the gy. he was too old now, if he beat bowe without the dumb low blows it would've been ok. i feel sorry for him tho man... he was a dam hard worker, n stepped in at age 37, not for the money, but for the pride n self respect.... n in these days u dun find much gyz like that... especiallly at that age

Theres always the pitty factor, but the man is too used to it happening. Plus who sais he is finished? He still has what it takes to beat Byrd or Ruiz. A title match isnt that far out of the question just yet. Yeah this was a setback, but Wlad also lost to Brewster and in 2 fights is back in position for a title fight.


Not to mention I consider Golota like the Red Sox. He has a curse over his head, and it want be lifted until the perfet moment comes. I mean it would've been great for the Polack to win a title belt, but the WBO isn't what anyone wanted. I have a feeling he just might come back (thats if he doesnt retire), to shock the world, and finally win a belt toward the very end of his career. I know inside he feels as though he can't go out like he did.

not the worst, victor polo had 5 title shots (although not consecutive) and couldn't capture one either.
