    Hmm, you're probably right. I just remembered the fight against T-REX.

    He was definitely a shell of what he once was in the mid to late 90s. Golota reached his physical peak in 1996 (age 28) when he fought Doc Nicholson and Bowe. By 2004 when he fought Byrd and Ruiz he was 36 years old and had already had his car accident which destroyed his left jab and hook. Now, he's just too slow with no defense.

    This is kinda ironic because in school I've been studying these kinds of dislocations for the past week in school.

    By the tape he definitely dislocated his elbow, which means that he ripped every ligament in the joint and will have a very long recovery time. He might have partially torn his bicept tendon as well. He didn't completely tear it though. Too bad because he's pretty much ****ed for at least a year, probably more like a year and a half.

    Sounds like Golota's got some major problems if he ever wants to come back.

    People comeback from ligament tears. But the question would be, would he want to go through that at this point in his career.

    He lost his toughness, mentally and physically then. Time for him to say goodbye to his fans, especially his ESB fans who has kept on egging him to continue searching for the elusive belt. They can't rest until Golota incur permanent injury.

    I disagree and believe this is a common misconception.

    Austin followed the Tyson/Brewster blueprint. He bum-rushed Golota.

    Lewis did no such thing. He was cautious, measured, and his jab looked as good as it EVER did that night. He did not just run forward and launch an all-out attack.

    When he realized Golota wasn't doing much, he took advantage of the opportunity and landed a monster right which was immediately followed by one of the best left hook Lewis ever landed. That fight was over then and there, and I believe RJJ even stated such, as Lewis is an awesome finisher, and Golota was a sitting duck.

    But Lewis actually had a strategy that went beyond the first round if the opening wasn't there. He WANTED to test Golota early with his power, but not by unleashing a reckless attack, a la Tyson, Brewster, and now Austin.

    What Lewis did was actually much more impressive, requires much greater ring intelligence, and was done superbly!

    Quite possibly his best victory ever, but one which gets undermined because of how Golota's career unfolded AFTERWARDS.

    But people seem to forget just how good he was when he fought Bowe. Most people just remember the low blows and the riot and not the level of raw skill that was on full display.

    You answered your own question:

    "Why is it that we want him to succeed so much"???

    Just watch the video of the fight & anyone will be amazed how he schooled one of the supposed best in the world.

    I thought Saleta had some health issues. This could be the special olympics.

    His time is up. He needs to break that camp forever and build a retirement house for himself in its stead. There is no use flogging a dead horse, nor feeding that dead horse w/ a spilt milk. His spirit might be willing but his body is weak and irresponsive.

    I could be mistaken, but I believe (correct me if wrong) that he donated a kidney to his daughter and had complications.

    This personally touched me, for my father was the recent recipient of a kidney transplant, and I was ready to volunteer to be a donor myself.
