Well, just because he had Hep B a couple of years ago is no reason to retire. One in 3 people in the world have had hepatitis B, including many boxers like Henry Akinwande. Like the measles virus, it's not contagious once you've recovered.

The cowardly Valuev just used that as an excuse to not fight him.

However, Ruslan should have kept more active when he could - inactivity often ruins fighters.

Not ****ting on chagaev but I've always considered Sultan a better overall boxer. And aren't they both russians or is one german?
