Ive Got a Feeling Vitali Wont Retire Until Wlad Retires or He Loses.

Just having seen video of him watching Wlad and Haye and hearing his post fight comments I just get the feeling that as long as Wlad is involved in the sport and he's watching ring side he is going to have that desire to fight, that clenched fist during the fight and that lookin his eye where you can tell that he wishes he was in the ring. I mean, he wanted to fight haye and had to be restrained at his brothers weigh in....I dont see a guy with that much passion and desire just to fight walking away from the sport until he loses or someone proves that he is over the hill. If Wlad walks away and Vit is able to separate himself from boxing, then I could see him give it up, but until he is shown he doesnt have it anymore or Wlad hangs up the gloves, I just dont see Vitali stepping away from the sport regardless of what he might have said in the past. He is about to be 40 years old, but he has taken great care of himself and injuries might have actually helped him avoid some wear and tear. BHop and Vitali are somewhat similar, they both dont take much punishment in their fights, take the sport serious 24/7 365, they both are fighters and have massive amounts of pride and self confidence. I think a lot of people assume Vit will be gone before he's 41, and thats a possibility, but my guess is he'll be around and he and Wlad will retire together.

He will be around Until EVERYONE in the boxing world fully realizes he's the most dominating fighter of alltime.. bar none & will go down as the only fighter that has all these following attributes collectively never happen to him.. Never outboxed.. never outslugged.. never trailed on scorecards at the end of every fight he's had.. never to have thrown or landed less punches than his opponent in any fight.. never to have thrown & landed less power punches than his opponent.. never outjabbed in any fight.. never tasted canvas (only fighter in heavyweight history with this many title fights NEVER tO HAVE GONE DOWN FROM A PUNCH). All this while having the highest scorecard RATIO in the ENTIRE history of the sport winning approximately 93% of the rds he's fought.. highest KO percentage in boxing history for ANY FIGHTER that's 200 lbs or over... never been beat Unless extreme & incredulous circumstances such as injuries & cuts happen & therefore having 2 fights stopped prematurely while he's DOMINATING 80% OF those bouts winning 12 of 15 rds on all those scorecards.... ONLY losing no more than a dozen rds his entire career & Only fighter in boxing history that has NEVER LOST MORE than 2 rds in any of his fights ( & there's no questionable scoring) You KNEW which rds he lost as all the others he won were by a landslide margin.. his size 6 ft 8 250 lbs of lean & mean machine on top of all those attributes that he alone has accomplished sees to it that he's the favorite over ANYONE that's ever laced up the gloves in the entire history of the sport... THE HIGHEST BER (Boxer Efficiency Rating) in the entire history of boxing.. whether you're 100 lbs or 300 lbs.. Let's NOT forget protects his little brother who's numbers are runnerup to his but landing a dozen times on the canvas & losing 3 times by KO SQUELCHES all that.. Not to mention HE KNOWS Vitali can kick his a$$ ANY TIME HE wants if he gets out of line just like he did when they were younger & last but Not least.. best offensive/ defensive ratio in heavyweight boxing history as well.. this means his landed punches to his opponent landed punches cumulatively through every fight he's been in is higher in discrepancy than anyone else that's fought at heavyweight. This statistic is more telling Not because he doesn't get hit as he rarely does.. it's more because he's ALWAYS throwing punches in bunches no matter the opponent he's in with or the strategy they employ..only time he EVER STOPPED throwing is for a rd or 2 he didn't throw his usual array of punches in the Byrd fight... But he had a medical reason as he was suffering from a torn rotator cuff & it was in the last couple of rds where it was acting up. As you CLEARLY CAN SEE.. Vitali (Dr. IRONFIST) kLITSCHKO has all the credentials & the numbers to be the most dominant fighter in the history of boxing bar none.. numbers don't lie & neither do I holy **** that was the greatest post in the history of this forum. I jizzed in my fu.cking pants. You are a God! GREEN K. :grouphug::kiss:

they have all the belts now that's the only reason Vit stuck around all this time probably Adamek, 1 more fight at most, then he's gone the guy is 40 he'll let Wlad run the show alone

^^^ It's the lack of opposition that will prevent Vitali from getting his dues. Him coming back after almost 4 years of retirement, going straight into the title fight, and making once "the most dangerous puncher in the division" look like an idiot is nothing short of classic.

I'd like to see him unify once Wladimir isn't around. He deserves it, not to mention he's by far more fun to watch.
