In all fairness, Golota was a decent fighter. He had skill, speed, power in both hands, was big and strong. But mentally he was a ***in disaster. Every big fight he had, he choked, froze or quit and/or had an emotional breakdown. Now obviously thats a HUGE IF, but how different do you think it coulda been if he was mentally stable?

as good as tyson
I just remember him winning every fight until the later rounds and then socking dudes in the nuts.
so self-defeating
if he had the mentality of pbf he could have been great -
He would have been a dominant champion and the first polish heavyweight champ. He had every tool, but something upstairs was just not clicking. The only fighter around the time i could see beating him when he had his head straight was Lewis, Holyfield and maybe Vitali( would have been a great fight). When i seen him throw combinations to Bowe's groin, i knew he was nuts.Comment

He could of been champion but would never of been number 1 with tyson and lewis in his eraComment

Yea he wouldnt be the best HW out there but he might've been able to make some real noise in the division, in a GOOD way that is.Comment

He probably would have been worse if he was stable.
It was his insanity that made him appealing and gave him the shot against Lewis.Comment

He could've become a titlist, I doubt he would've been champion as long as Lewis was around.Comment

Golota was like a heavy weight version of Zab Judah. He could of been great but blew it because he was a mental weakling.Comment
