    Golota should have gotten the nod against Byrd 7-5. That's basically all you need to know. He did enough to win that fight but didn't get the decision. Just more of a reason for me to dislike the incompetent Melvina Lathan.

    Tyson is a disgrace for a lot of things, ear biting, raping, woman beating, you know the list goes on.

    He still is ranked high because we shouldn't look at these things but strictly the fights.Golota was robbed of at least a title.

    - Bit Samson Po'hua on the shoulder.
    - DQ'd for low blows against Riddick Bowe
    - DQ'd AGAIN for low blows against Riddick Bowe
    - Quitting against Mike Tyson

    And for the record, I hate Mike Tyson and think he's a disgrace too.

    Well I don't think he quit v Tyson cuz it was found that he broken something in his head and could have died if he continued.If you have a problem with him it's your thing but if you consider these things you might find thousands of examples like this.

    That's how I see him. Don't forget a waste of talent.

    Golota had a broken bone in his head at the Tyson fight, and if he felt he does not want to continue, then that is damn well his decision, and a damn good one at that, considering doctors said after the fight had he continued, he risked severe injury or even death. If ANYBODY has a problem with that, then they are truley ****ed in the head. It's not your life, or your body, so STFU, get off your fat ass, reach for the remote, and change the ****ing channel if you don't like what you see.


    Golota has one of the BIGGEST and most loyal fan bases.

    He beat up and broke Bowe, two times. Ruining the fight for himself at the end, two times as well.

    He beat up Grant, and was winning the fight, when once again ruining it for himself.

    He was NEVER outclassed for 12 rounds straight. All of his loses came either because he broke down, or they were 1st round blow-outs, when he was frozen and locked up.

    He provided two GREAT fights of the 1990s. Ones that are down in the books, as the most exciting, as well as bizarre.

    He always put on a great show, and was a great entertainer.

    Unofficialy was a 2 time HW champ, in the robberies with Byrd, and Ruiz.



    For the haters : :finger

    The expression on his face at the 1:03 mark is priceless

    Golota was not a waste of talent.

    He made it to the top, faced and beat up great competition, never ducking anybody.

    Has a huge fan base.

    Has made millions of dollars, which he wisely invested.

    He could have achieved way more, IMO. But by no means is he a waste of talent.
