But you have to admit has shown some heart in his comeback fights.
Nobody thought he'd give any serious fight to Chris Byrd. Most picked him to go nuts and lose by DQ. Most people left MSG believing that he won.
Against John Ruiz he fought a very good fight early, dropped him twice and hung on late as he tired and Ruiz rallied. With a swollen eye he fought through it to a close decision loss.
When Lamon Brewster bombed him to the canvas three times, he kept trying to give up. In his former career, would Golota have climbed back in the ring after getting tossed out of it by a left hook?
Here he is, at 40 years old, and he is riding a three fight win streak. The last two, against Mike Mollo and Kevin McBride, those are decent wins. If only he didn't waste his talent early on, he would have been a very serious champion.
He might be one of the best heavyweights to never win a title.
