Andrew Golota - how many chances does one joker get?

The Tyson quitter gets a (controversial) draw with Byrd.

He loses to John "John" Ruiz.


And now he's up against Brewster.


What will they do, just keep putting him up time and again until he bores someone into submission?

Golata is a joke.

[PacKillsMorales]

he beat byrd yet got screwed.
he beat ruiz yet got screwed.
now he fights brewster.
better not get screwed.

ok hes unstable,unpredictable and ultimately unreliable.

but hes got skills and that says alot in this division
especially with the current HW champs.

Brewster is a joke.
Byrd and Ruiz are jokes.
Rahmans a joke and sos golota

its like that and thats the way it is

The truth about Golata

I know one of the trainers at Windy City gym in Chicago. I asked him about Golata of course, and he filled me in. Golata comes to the gym and most of the time only wraps one hand, does a little bit of work waits like 45 min then wraps the other hand and works on it. then sits/lays around on the bench for long periods of time, watching others. Nobody will spar with him. and even the ****ty amateur boxers clown him behind his back from what I understand.

However I bet nobody spars with him because he punches very hard.. Golata is the type of guy that would just say '**** it' and make it a war with full power hooks etc. in a sparring match.

Golata has some talent, but Don King should not keep feeding us this crap.

I am refusing to watch Golata Brewster.

I'm getting angry just thinking about it... normally if a guy "loses" a title shot he has to work his way back up... not get another go right at one.

King's identikit mix and shuffle match-offs... the only one you'll never see is title holder vs. title holder. That way his chances of losing control over a belt holder will be doubled.

They don't spar with him out of fear!!

You can say the same thing about Tyson and Holyfield. But I am sure you and many others don't mind Tyson getting more chances to right his wrongs.

Golota didn`t deserve to fight Byrd but i think put up a very good fight against him so maybe he deserved the Ruiz fight. But now its Brewster....and what if he loses this one? Maybe Wladimir will beat Byrd if they fight then it`ll be Klitscko Vs Golota and probably Klitscko will win! Golota, i agree, has had his 7th chance and just because he is marketable doesn`t give him the right to continuely fight for titles and not have earned them.
