    Sultan Ibragimov was working Timor Ibragimov's corner in France last week I noticed on the video of Mormeck-Ibragimov.

    Thompson didn't fight for about a year after Wlad.
    Chambers is having a long time off
    Sultan never fought again
    Brock only fought once
    Austin didn't fight for 18 months
    Brewster didn't fight for over a year after the second fight with Wlad
    Byrd was inactive for a year after the second loss
    Rahman was inactive for a year or so
    Chagaev was inactive for a year

        A loss like that weighs on guys mentally. It's not like anyone *almost* beats Wlad or Vitali, it's always complete domination en route to a one-sided loss.

        It's got to be real hard for guys to get back to work in the gym, when they know in their hearts they can never, ever beat the Klitschkos and become world champion.

        I assume most of them take their big Klitschko hand-out and go party and spend time with their families.
