Golotta at number 2

[GranTorino]

Byrd could beat Golota 10 out of 10 times if they fought repeatedly.

Chris Byrd is the #2 HW, and rightfully so.

I think a strong argument is made that he should be the #1 HW,

considering his TKO victory over the man everyone is saying the

best is.

That, my friend, was not a victory for Byrd, and everyone knows it. Vitali was handing Chris his ass the entire fight, much like his brother did shortly afterwards,until the injury.

Not sure if golota is the worlds second best.

Id say he and byrd share the second place, they should rematch.

I watched both Bowe vs Golota fights again last night along with Golota's fight against Grant. I have the three on one tape. The first fight with Bowe was ****ing great. One for the ages until those lowlife scumbags jumped in the ring like a bunch of baboons. I was just so disturbed at how Golota just totally blew his opportunity. He took an opportunity of a lifetime and just flushed the ****ing thing down the toilet. Getting disqualified in the second fight is a bit more understandable because he was exhausted and he tried everything he could to knock Bowe out and Bowe just would not stay down and he was probably on the verge of losing that fight on points even though he destroyed Bowe because of all Golota's point deductions. Against Grant he was winning the fight heading into the 10th round 86-81 and even after the knockdown he suffers in the round, the worst the score could have gone was 94-91 and he still had the 11th and 12th rounds to sneak out a decision or go for the KO of Grant but he just quit like a ****ing wimp. If he can't beat Brewster then he should get the **** out of the fight game and become a truck driver.

Even if Golota didn't lost the last fights in the fans eyes he also didn't win them as he should. So, he don't have the krown and he should not be put before Byrd and Ruiz (this actualy sucks). That left him the #4 in my eyes. If he win over Brewster he can easily jump before Byrd and Ruiz proving that he was realy robbed.

I can see then the remtach with Byrd (this should be easest), Ruiz (he will be eager to fight because he want unification) or even take a shot at Vitali (that would be huge and unique - 4'th time consecutive shot at different title). I personaly would like to see first the remaches in the initial order. The only problem right now is .... Brewster.

there's NO way i can rate a guy who's NEVER beaten another top contender #2.... golota has LOST every single major fight he's been in... even if u think he was robbed by byrd and ruiz, he was still KTFO by grant, lewis and tyson and choked against bowe... he doesn own a win over ONE decent fighter....

I was at Golota/Ruiz and its a shame how he got robbed against Ruiz.
