    Golota likely builds up a big points lead and quits after Tua hits him a few times in the late rounds or does something else weird to avoid winning.

    I can't stand Golota, and he gets far way too much credit. And yet people always slag fighters like Tommy Morrison and Shannon Briggs. Briggs and Morrison both fought back from adversity and won. Both held the WBO belt. When the going got tough they might have lost but they never quit or got themselves disqualified.

    Well Golota overcame adversity against Po'uha and Mollo (when his eye was all puffed up). But the thing of it is Golota's poor performances are what usually resonate with fans the most.

    When you become a national hero in your country of origin and the greatest pro boxer ever in your respective weight class in the history of your country, then come back here and call Golota a dummy. Until then, Golota is and has been a Polish-born idol of millions and the greatest heavyweight in the nation's history.

    And now your claim to fame?

    Why don't you mention Adamek or Saleta. Both are also Polish and both beat the bare ass of Golota. Golota is a coward. Adamek and Saleta are true Polish heroes.

    Yes, Adamek is a hero in Poland. Saleta? I'm not so sure, he was more of a celebrity in Poland because of being involved in show business. But I appreciate you mentioning other Polish fighters whose talents I respect.

    By the way, other Polish boxing heroes include former amateur stars such as Jerzy Kulej (two-time Olympic Gold Medalist) and Zbigniew Pietrzykowski (met Cassius Clay in the Olympic Final).

    You might or might not have heard of those two guys mentioned above but I mentioned them because they always should be included when talking Polish ring legends.
