    I think Golota would have been infinitely more successful had he possessed the mental strength and will power of "The Psycho Killer".

    No....... Tom Adamek is age 33 but, as a heavy, he's still green and on the rise..... Adamek has been carefully moved against old guys, slobs or guys with low power....... Yet, Tom Adamek is viable and doing well right now......

    Andy Golota has his share of wins and losses during his career, but his overall comp SMOKES Adamek's once you get down to it......

    Mentally, Tom Adamek is indeed the better person...... Andy Golota had some serious demons flying through his head..... Was it "Roid" rage??

    nah, it wasn't roid rage, chris benoit slapping the crossface on his entire family was roid rage. golota on the other hand, just revealed himself to be slightly ******ed at critical points during his career

    Yes. And while Golota never tested + for roidal useage, I suspect with his muscular physique and funny moods, he was a juicer throughout his career.... Or, at least for the BIG fights.....
    :yep

    Adamek does not have the Golota size but he is mentally much bigger. If only he had the frame.

    Mentally, yes.

    Physically, no.

    Adamek is not a true heavyweight.

    Golota is the wasted talent. He had everything: size, skills, power, movement, and the ATG opposition to prove his value, he only did lack only one thing: heart.
    Adamek is the boxer, who without his heart and faith would have never become a world champion.

    You sound like a complete clown making stupid ass baseless comments like this.

    With your mentality even though Lewis never tested + for roids, I suspect with his freakish strength he was a juicer throughout his career. :patsch

    :-(

    He'd possibly rule the division which was still STRONG at the moment and that's what people expected from him. Adamek does more than people expected but less than they expected from Golota.

    Prime Golota skills with Adamek's mind = ATG HW.

    Too bad he was boarderline crazy. He seemed to get his head right towards the end of his career with the Byrd and Ruiz wins or real late career against Mollo and Mcbride.

    Golota was a psycho with a glass jaw, and Adamek is level headed with cheen.
