Vitali chooses politics over Peter!

[BattlingNelson]

Because of the combination of age and inactivity, Vitali would not be the same if he returned to the ring.

I want to remember him as the formidable heavyweight who had never been down in a fight, so I hope he officially retires.

Agreed. It seems like his mind is much less than 100% into boxing.

I want to remember Vitali as the guy who was stopped by Chris Byrd

He wasn't stopped by anything Chris Byrd did to him in that fight - he threw out his shoulder.

Vitali was well ahead on the scorecards in that fight.

So did Holyfield AND IN THE FIRST ROUND, yet he fought all 12 rounds

Vitali is a *****

[The Hammer]

We don't really know how much worse Vitali's injury was than Holyfields. He's no ***** - he didn't want the fight with Lewis to stop, remember? Even though he had those nasty cuts.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

If this is true it's probably a good thing since better and more meaningful fights can be made. Like Wlad/Peter II. Vitali had his time, it's time for him to move on and enjoy life after boxing. Plus it seems he gets injured all the time in training. If that's not a sign to give it up than I don't know what is.

You Know Tunney... I dont think I ever agree With Diego.. And You know I am a Klitschko fan..

BUT... He was up 8-2 on 2 cards and 9-1 on Another at the time...SO even if he just covered up and Ran the rest of the night.. He would not have lost..
We know about Vitali's chin.. and Byrd's power.. so Vitali getting KO'd was extremley unlikely..

There is something Wrong in quitting like that.. When I see Punks Like Danny Williams Getting His Shoulder put back in place 3 times during a fight.. and watching his arm dangle... and him fighting half a fight with 1 hand .. and scoring a KO win...

You see why I say there is something wrong with Vitali quitting a fight he was dominating

No Offense

[Welter_Skelter]

And On Topic... To be fair.. At least to his Fans.. Vitali should stop Toying with their hopes..Only to keep dissapointing ....

He needs to get in the ring or quit.. And AT this point.. I say.. Just quit..

Very well said!

i dont belive this in an interview last week in a ukranian sports site vitali said that the plans for this fight are going well and negotiations are underway
