Valuev:"I am quitting boxing"

Yep . good news. if true?

if this is true; please retire (no offense), you have no skills, you're way too slow and too tall for boxing, and you're making the HW division look more terrible than what it is.

Valuev already made his entry to acting. His wikipedia entry mentions two movies in the making, and a minor role in a German comedy from 2006 (in which he enters a police cell as "the big bad bully" to intimidate the heroes). Cheap laughs, but a role tailored to his looks.

i don't want him to retire

David Haye should see off Wladimir meccano without too much trouble because no amount of oiling of the chin bolts is going to help. Nice terrorist in your sig! Wladimir is not Valuev (who I thought won the fight). He is stronger, hits harder and is faster. Wladimir's jab will keep Haye at bay. As for Gelayev, according to who is he a terrorist? The Russian FSB who rape and pillage Chechen villages?

Oh hell yeah, thank you David Haye. Holding on to the disgusted WBA belt was the only thing keeping Valuev going. Sorry Valuev, you were not championship level and you were boring, heavyweight boxing is better without you.

He should retire. He is a prime example of everything that is wrong with the HW division at the moment.

i hope he doesn't quit danm it

Finally.....

Thank **** for that! The sooner these big clunky eastern bloc fighters go,the better for boxing! Who's going to take over from these well schooled, athletic Eastern European fighters then; Chris Arreola, David toilet-mouth Haye, over-the-hill Rahman, or some other 'can't be bothered to train' fighter?

I'm feeling a move to MMA, he's got to fight Hong Man Choi!!!!

Thank **** for that! The sooner these big clunky eastern bloc fighters go,the better for boxing! maybe western fighters should train harder, and better?

Bye Val. :wave:

I feel sorry for him. He is hated by a lot cause of the way he was born. Most people call him talentless but its hard to anything at that size. Good luck to him. Agreed. He may have been boring to watch, but he made the best of what he had.

The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray!.... I'm off to celebrate..

i feel bad for the dude for some reason... Haye was merciless in his degradation of him lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:boxing:

I don't think we'd remember him. Other than, robbing Holyfield and losing to Haye.

There is a god afterall....:banana: But I still thought he won though considering he was the champ and was pressing the fight..

valuev threw more punches than haye and hes the boring one..
