    You can't hold that against him, given the nature of his injuries!

    I see him get lumped in with the likes of Tommy Morrison and even Michael Grant and he was, to my reckoning, on a much higher level...of potential. He was to HW boxing in his decade what Tucker was to HW boxing in the 80's.

    I think Golota was more talented than Tucker and also had more power in his punches. But Tucker was much more tougher mentally and had much better chin.

    Golota bit that Samoan guy worse than any Dracula bite!

    Great video...what a cast of characters....Byrd was the Augustus Burton of the HWs. Ruiz was unwatchable. Bowe was another could have been.
