Vitali should retire real soon.

Vitali puts on an act. He doesn't show his full ability in the ring; he does enough to win, but wants people to think these fights are tougher than they really are. If you put a serious challenge like Corrie Sanders or Lennox Lewis in the ring with him, you'd see his true colors emerge once again. You, in my opinion have hit the nail on the head. I posted the same thing on Sat.night. I said that there were several things working in VK's mind. 1) That he and Soznowski got along very well, and they were extremely polite and friendly to each other. 2) VK wanted all his fans, to have a good night's boxing entertainment. 3) He want's to get Haye in the ring more than anything else. 4) The only way this can happen is if VK is fading badly, then Haye might be enticed. 5) Sooooo......knowin that he can end the fight any time he wants, he put on a friendly, pulled punches, sparring match, at a leisurely pace. 6) When he decided that it was time, he ended the fight, just like he ended Kirk Johnson...... not exactly as fiercely, but very competently. We can only wait and see if Haye is tempted enough to pull himself together, and make the match. I'm certain that VK was in his usual top shape, he always takews his training very seriously, and would never let himself and his family down by coming into the ring in less than 100% shape......as he ALWAYS does.

I have never seen him as slow, or flat as he was last night. He has enough left to beat Haye, so he should push for that fight, or fight a few more fights against the other HWs and retire, age has caught up with him. I could'nt agree more.

vitali looked decent and was never in danger....I always thought he would try not to look too good to not scare haye even deeper into hiding. I seriously think not looking sharp was a ploy to get haye in the ring with him

Vitali looked slower and as he was fighting on auto-pilot. Also he never changed his game up, sure he was winning rounds but Sosnowski was never in trouble before round ten because Vitali kept throwing the same shots all night long, no variation at all. Before last night i tought Vitali would demolish Haye. I still think Vitali would beat Haye but now i think Haye might have a chance if he keeps moving all night throwing fast combos he might be able to outpoint Vitali. Vitali will not retire before he and his brother has all the belt's, it's their dream. Haye should act like a man and accept the challenge from either brother, he has a chance allthougt he won't be the favorite in either fight.

Either he's declined fast since last September (he still showed good speed and reflexes against Arreola), or he didn't take this fight very seriously. Although still, when he finally decided to open up in rounds 9 and 10 he looked pretty potent. Just up to that point he looked slow and a bit disinterested to be honest. Guess none of us know for sure but if it is age, he should retire before someone beats him that really shouldn't.

I think he looked pretty much the same as his last 4 fights. It's not as if he's the same fighter as the one who demolished Hide in '99 - with his hands up high and feet moving around speedily. Still, it works. He's getting them out of there. That's the main thing.

wilder has fought 3 guys with winning records so far and all of them were novices , vitali would crush him , the step up in the class would be far too much for him even now He was joking... Or at least I hope he was. Vitali is still the best HW alongside his brother. He has stated that once the Klitschkos have all the belts, he will retire. So once one of the brothers gets the WBA belt, it'll be a wrap for him. Unfortunately, I think someone else will have to beat Haye for them to have a chance at it.

hes fukking done !!!

Wilder should get him now. Take out the wounded creature and be the next great American fighter. Alexander may be great, along with other fighters but Americans need a big man to look up to. wilder has fought 3 guys with winning records so far and all of them were novices , vitali would crush him , the step up in the class would be far too much for him even now

Vitali will probably retire this year. He has signed a contract with his TV station for one more fight.
