Andrew Golota All Time Great?

WTF is this guy talking about? Jim I see your at it again. has anybody ever heard of this guy? He just talks nothing but nonsense about boxing everywhere he goes. Under many different screen names as well.

I don't think so

I just looked at Golota's career record as a pro boxer and in spite of several debacles he still has had a good career with wins over several guys who were at one time top contenders such as Orlin Norris, Jesse Ferguson and Tim Witherspoon. I suppose that with the right mental attitude his career would have been far better, maybe an all-time great, but in all of his biggest fights he has flopped for 1 reason or another.

The guy has a screw loose. He might even be mildly mentally ******ed. I've never seen any signs of intelligence or any sense of humor in him. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but the light is pretty dim.

I'm fairly certain that his career as a contender is over. He's 38 and has looked pretty bad in his last couple fights. His loss to Ruiz was worse than it looks. Ruiz really isn't that good and he dominated Golota over the last several rounds of the fight to pull out the victory in spite of suffering a couple knockdowns earlier. Golota rarely got off 1st and was content to tie up inside most of the fight.

No. Can't be, never won a big fight for all his potential.

What!! obviously you have never seen a decent heavyweight boxer, who has fulfilled their potential before!

He ranks in at number 2 on my all time list of heavyweight greats. Where do you think he belongs?

of course he is in my top three right underneath Ruiz and Valuev, but one ahead of Buttebean

this worthless thread looks like a good chance to up my post count

Golota could be the greatest with one more big fight.

It wasn't easy but after the ko by Lewis, he had the legs to make it to the dressing room.

With Brewster, it was even harder to backpedal against a smaller man, but he did it!

But what made him the greatest are probably the consecutive low blows he gave Bowe. He was the most courageous man I saw, delivering two perfect low blows without fear of disqualification.

Hail Golota!!!

Golota is an all time great, all time great of quitters that is.

the name "Golota" and "all time great HW" shouldn't even be in the same post, he's a disgrace. Regardless of his potential he'll go down in history as being the man who used Bowe's nutsack as a speedbag every chance he got.
