    His resume sure doesnt support that claim. Nor has he ever backed up that claim in the ring. name me golotas 3 best wins in his over 50 pro fights. The guy is an asterisk in boxing and only his polish fans think otherwise.

    I think you're missing the point I was making.

    :lol:

    I said, he was never an A level fighter. I agreed on that point and the resume illustrates such. That does not preclude him from having been an A level talent.

    In case you were wondering, A level talents who fail to become A level fighters usually fall short BECAUSE of their resume.

    Yea he was looking real slow from the few rounds i saw. nothing compared to the Golota fighting Bowe. Time to relax and enjoy life.;

    Golota destroyed Bowe twice and sent him into early retirement. Many consider Bowe a top 15 atg at HW. Hardly B level competition. Golota had tremendous skills, he's just a little crazy, nothing wrong with that.

    He landed the two best punches in the third round, I thought.

    But that was about it.

    Adamek looked impressive, even if it was against a shot Golota.

    What a rollercoaster ride!

    Such emotion I doubt another athlete will ever bestow upon my heart.

    Such highs. Such lows.

    Cannot believe what a young man I was when it all began and how quickly the sands of time perish.

    I'm a Golota fan but his career could have been much better if he was more under control. We could have looked back in the record books and see he beat Bowe twice but instead threw those fights away for whatever reason. But he had a good career. He was a damn good fighter back in the day. I was a little kid then and I remember how good he was. I wish him well with whatever he does after Boxing.
