I Think GOLOTA is Done...

You must mean "Great Polish Hope," both Klitschkos, Ibragimov, Liakhovich, Chagaev, Valuev, etc. have all had a portion of the title recently.

 

Peter would probaly hurt Golota :nono i would hate to see that..

 

I wouldn't bet on it. Deontay Wilder is still looking for his next opponent.

 

:huh I thought Golota retired years ago.

 

Never say never with Golota. Guy is like a weed, it keeps coming back.

 

The truly sad thing is that other than (arguably) Harrison and Liakhovich, today's Golota is better than any of the stiffs Wilder has padded his record with.

 

:angel

 

I agree with you that Chagaev is a bum but I didn't know the real life caveman Valuev was making a comeback.

 

I like the fact that Golota ended his career well. Yes, he lost to Saleta, but they both fought a wonderful, tough fight that Golota, at that stage of his career, could be very proud of. Also, Golota retired comfortably financially, which cannot be said for many other fighters in his era. I think Golota should consider training Szpilka (a guy he knows very well), seeing if he can impart some of his skill, especially the jab, which Szpilka could use.

 

Golota never really lived up to his potential, but he did end Bowe's career. Golota at his best was good, but he never fought the same for each fight. I think it was mental...............

 

Even though this thread is old it actually came at a good time. There was a recent interview with Golota where he claimed that his shoulder has healed and he throws his punches much faster and with more power and is considering a comeback.

 

The old guy has been past it for years now, and the speed of that rollercoaster was about 5kph during those years. He's also been remarkably insignificant/irrelevant since years so, what's the shock/surprise?

EDIT: Oh, this thread actually dates from 2008.
