this is an embarassment of a fight, especially when david haye is available and would be Vitali's best opponent other than Lennox, equal with Byrd.

Originally posted by Mr. Fantastic View PostThe Greatest fought a guy who was 6-0 and lost to him. Why can't Vitali have a nice retirement fight? It's not like Floyd retiring when all the WWs were prime and he just went in there after they beat each other up either. At least Vitali has a legit reason to retire and that's politics.
We also saw how Wlad outclassed Haye so why even bother with that. We're just going to get another "toe" excuse.
"The greatest" was considered that because he beat some of the very best fighters in history and easily the best heavyweight comp. He lost to Spinks when he was CLEARLY past his best and still beat him in a rematch. Vitaly has been fighting soft touch competition nearly his entire career. How about giving back to the fans (boxing fans, not Klitschko fans) and at least making the toughest fight you can if you're going to ride into the sunset? A "nice" retirement fight? Screw that. If a fighter wants my respect he takes on the best he can and goes out like a gladiator, win or lose.

Originally posted by JAB5239 View PostHow many fighters who've faced as weak comp as Vittles actually have a "retirement fight"? What do they say to themselves?"Ok, one more soft touch and I'll call it a career"? Warriors want to go out as the "the man", not being satisfied to get another easy hand picked win. You should be ashamed of your man for even taking this pathetic fight.
Sort of like if Hopkins or Jones were to face a bum as a retirement fight and retire into the sunset.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Fantastic View PostVitali is also past prime.
A year ago when Vitaly fought Adamek his nuthuggers were saying he was still in his prime. You guys love to swing both ways I'll tell ya. Yes, he is past prime though but clearly not shot. Had he had to fight Ali's comp he would look shot.
So you admire Ali but you know as well as me Ali ran like a ***** and wasn't this gladiator in a lot of these fights either.
I would of preferred he fight Haye but Haye turned it down so there is nothing we can do. Besides Haye is being rehyped up now by beating someone Vitali outclassed which is pretty hilarious.
