i’ve just watched his epic battles with riddick bowe again, my goodness he beat the life out of bowe, then went and got himself dq’d in both fights while he was clearly winning them
he obviously was at that time a good fighter with solid chin and heart. does anyone think that if he maintained that form he could have ruled the heavyweight division
Golota is a very skilled big guy but lacks heart to continue when things really heat up, Bowe 1 & 2, M.Grant, L.Lewis and M.Tyson. He did not get a chance to dissconnect in the Brewster fight.
Golota had all the tools to be a really good HW, but he had no heart and was emotionally so unstable…you can add him to the long list of woulda coulda shoulda…but never did
No he wouldn’t have ruled if he maintained that form: build up huge leads and then blow it with foul shots. LOL just kidding. If he could have ever learned not to throw body shots, he could have held a title.
