Vitali should retire real soon.

[Pullcounter]

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.

he should keep fighting. his legacy is not yet secure.

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

If it keeps him healthy, in shape and the cash flow coming I don't see why he should.

Its not like he takes a battering, and he constantly wins in front of 60k fans..

Klits at their worst are still better than most HW at there best.

[SN!PER]

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.

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.

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

I could'nt agree more.

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.

as if there were someone out there he could beat to seal his legacy or even make it look decent..........

the only W that would be meaningful to his record is named Wladimir Klitschko
