What the hell happened to Golota???

He had no head movement and Lewis was a straight punch specialist.

 

Lennox Lewis was better than Riddick Bowe. Lewis was at the top of his game.

 

No head movement. He fought like he had a metal rod fusing his head to his body.

 

Nothing to do with head movement, Riddick Bowe finished Golata.

Golata was always a mental midget, he bit the Samoan, headbutted blatanly Nicholson etc etc.....when the going got tough he always tried to foul out.

BTW, it took a stoned , absolute washed up Mike Tyson one round longer than Lewis to dispatch Golata.........Golata was, is and always will be a bum.

 

Golota was a headcase and those types often tend to crumble at some point, usually when facing someone superior to them in almost every way.

 

Riddick Bowe was shot against Golota. The Bowe from Holyfield 1 destroys Golota. Golota couldn't finish off an old Jesse Ferguson.

 

Bowe at that point was ready to be taken by an elite heavyweight with skills and good size... Golota ticked off most of the requirements needed to lift the belt off of the champ but he came up short in terms of heart, adaptability, grit.. whatever you want to call it. He had most of the pieces but not all of them and he simply wasn't ever able to regularly find ways to win against the best men he fought.

 

Golota best victory is doc nicholson

 

Nah he had several wins on that level. Don't know why you're so high on that fight in particular.

 

Which others? Old witherspoon? Samson pouah?? I pick doc as his best win

 

At least part of it was a styles thing.

Golota would always have over performed against Bowe, and under performed against Lewis.

 

So what you guys are saying is that you really don't know what happened to Golota. He's a riddle in an enigma wrapped in a kielbasa.

 

Wars like those can take a lot out of someone. Also, victim of the "Million Dollar Body/Ten Cent Brain" syndrome.

 

'Head movement Ronda!' 'head movement!'
