    Andrew Golota was the most feared man in the HW DIVISION after 'beating' Riddick Bowe back to back.


    Golota was predicated to be an 'atg' and the original Klithscko.

    Sadly it's not that the 'original klithscko' isn't as good as the current Klithscko it's that the original 'sog' Klithscko happened during Lewis's Prime.

    Golota fell like a god damn rabbit and never recovered




    THOMAS ADAMEK

    had a good career at LHW and was going places until he met

    BAD CHAD DAWSON
    .. He still could have recovered

    but went on to fight against Vitali

    who love beating up LHW'S and cruiserweights (something he and his brother have in common :DDDD)



    but who had more potential

    adamak or 'SOL' golota

    Golota was a huge talent, but cracked mentally in the crucial moments and never achieved as much as he should have

    Adamek is a natural LWH, he was Champ in 2 divisions (LHW and CW), fought for a title in a 3rd (HW), and almost nobody expected Adamek to achieve as much as he did

    Ya agreed:D

    Great post. Adamek is like a warrior version of Sven Ottke.

    Golota was a wasted talent for sure. (although Lewis made him crack)

    see that's the interesting thing

    If Golota had ducked Lewis

    who could have made him crack?

    Like seriously Crack?


    Can the 99 verson of Tyson do it?

    I doubt it. CUZ Golota still had 100% confidence. And Tyson was a mental midget himself.

    I think if Golota had ducked Lennox for a while, he could have had an great career . up until around 2002 when he and lennox meet in a unification fight

    Where's relentless when you need him?

    Adamek. Top class LHW and CW which is often forgotten these days.

    Not trying to hog on Adamek. I know he achieved so much.

    But I feel like People seriously underestimate Golota because of his god damn break downs.


    Look

    Golota had incredible skills.

    He should have been champ, but got robbed vs Byrd and Ruiz

    Ya 100% Great post

    Do you think Prime Golota can beat 2002 Version of WLAD?

    I do.

    I think a 1997 version of Golota TAKES OUT 2002 version of wlad (around sanders time)

    the problem with Golota is that he cracked in fights before Lewis, every big fight he ****ed up because he couldn't cope with the pressure (Bowe twice, Lewis, later Grant)

    Adamek on the other hand has a heart and mentality of a true warrior :rasta

    Golota obviously had the more potential. He would have two wins on his resume against Riddick Bowe if not for his insatiable desire for ball fondling. Adamek's more or less exactly where he deserves to be through his own hard work.

    I think Adamak is a bit underrated cuz he ****ed up going to HW.

    Imagine if he had stayed at LHW or CW.

    Not saying he can beat Dawson

    I doubt he can

    but I think he could have taken 47 year old b hop

    are you acually comparing a lighweight with a acual heavyyweight that won two fights against riddick bowe?

    Of course it's Golota.

    Ya close this thread


    I just went and watched 4 different Adamek fights

    Now I'm a Adamek fan


    the heart of this guy is huge

    he is a Polish tank

    Golota is a Polish rabbit

    enough said

    Adamek reached his potential.

    Golota did not.

    Golota by far. Physically gifted, can't say the same mentally. Adamek strong mentally for most part, but had moderate success at HW. Fell short by an elite has nothing to be ashamed of. You have a fighter with the best attributes of both Polish warriors you'd have a Polish version of Vitali.
