nady no? Anyways, dont mean to be an arse. I think Ruiz will get by Golota fairly easily, hes just going to frustrate the hell out of the big guy, then Andrew will go bonkers.
Whoops, Nady sorry....

I think Golota may have sorted his mind out, his conduct was pretty good against Byrd, who is pretty frustrating to fight. Maybe he's not on Roid's any more, but he seems a lot calmer.
yeah mate i think youre right, hes probably off the roids! I read today hes looking to come in against Ruiz at 235, that pretty light for a big guy. Guess hes lost some "muscle" mass :TU:

I think Ruiz will win it....One thing that has surprised me is a few opinions of Golota...He has talent but has never looked anything like a genuine world champion IMO...IE a dominant one.

Saying that not many have lately.... :cry:

he was never really much over 240 anyway...

turned pro at 24 at just 217, two years later he was up to 236.....
it is possible to put on 19lbs natural in two years, especially when you are 6' 4"... but it would have meant a lot of lifting weights and great nutrition.

However i reckon most heavyweights are on they juice..... and i know this is going to sound controversial...in particular the Non-black heavies who seem to struggle to put on lean mass over cruiser weight..

Botha, Morrison, Klits, Golota

Didn't Botha test positive for steroids? I seem to recall that Morrison did too.

Golota is a naturall big man, but he doesn't look as muscular as he used to.

Morrison didnt fail, but admitted to steriod abuse after... he may even have contracted HIV after sharing needles....

Botha, as already pointed out failed a test after the Schultz fight.

Always felt sorry for Schultz, got beat by a cheat in one title fight then fcuked by the judges when winning is second title (v Foreman)
