Why couldn't Bowe do to Golota what Lewis and Tyson did?

    If you were human I might be bothered by your scabby opinions. Seeing as you are nothing more than a noisy little duck egg, your quacking merely entertains me. But only as and when I require it.:hi:

    another big hitter took out /andrew early also---Brewster.

    Me, just like Norton, I don't like Golata against the big hitters. Bowe was not a big hitter. He had to string together a ton of combos to get guys out of there.

    Golata hardly has a defense that's hard to solve. Bowe threw that wide wide looping right hand and a stright right hand would have done the trick. But it's a punch he never had.

    Yes Bowe always struggled with fighters who presented him with motion, his bouts with Biggs, Tubbs, Hide, Donald, Holy 2 and Golota showed this. He was an excellent inside fighter but very average at range and could be outboxed, i personally never felt that he was shot verses Golota rather the fight showing his level, the Pole attacked using lateral movement and Bowe couldn't get set and that coupled with a woeful defence is what finished him. I was fans of both Bowe and Lewis so i guess my opinion is unbiased, the fight didn't happen because Lewis was a stylistic nightmare for him and having witnessed Bowe's recent interview claiming Lewis was afraid and never wanted to fight him, i just don't buy that, Lewis never ducked anyone and had no reason to duck Bowe but it was a travesty the fight was never made and did boxing fans out of a great match up between two big heavies who could really fight.

    Prior to Bowe facing Holyfield, Rock Newman suggested that his first defence could be against George Foreman in China, so Lewis was never going to feature in Bowe's plans.

    Golota had a very good chin, he was a bit like Frank Bruno... When he got hit by a good puncher he would freeze and get battered.

    Holyfield trilogy destroyed Bowe physically. As for Golota, he's mentally weak and any fighter that mentally weak will get intimidated by Tyson and Lewis before they even entered the ring.

    Golota didnt even dare to stare at Tyson for 1 second when Tyson entered the ring. The same when he fought Lewis. He didnt punch on those bouts, he's slapping like a women.

    Mccall also had mental issue but it wasnt because he's ever afraid of his opponent, but drugs did that.
