    He has no reason to retire at all.

    People are suprised Chisora went the distance. He didn't win by any means though. Vitali dominated.

    He beat one of the best heavyweights around with one arm.

    The only reason he should retire is if he get's bored.

      From our perspective as fans he should fight David Haye, from his perspective he should probably hang em up as he might get beaten.

        IMO he should fight until he can't win against top level competition..... if he cares about his legacy.

        personally if I was a fighter, I would want to do the maximum I could in my career knowing that i have nothing left to achieve.

        He can still beat most(maybe all) of the top 10 HW's right now. Why cut your legacy short.

          I think he'd still KO Haye.

          I'd like to see him have a few more fights, but I'd hate to see Vitali lose a fight he'd normally easily win just because of the years catching up to him.

          His next fight is planned for September, he'll be 41 then. We'll see how he looks at that time.

            He should have 2 more fights against good opponents and try to push a knockout for both of them.

              Vitali is definitely nowhere near what he was in the Lewis fight. I was at that fight, it was amazing. Fact of the matter is he beat Chisora with little problem and barely got hit in that fight. That tells me he can continue.

                True. I still think a part of him really wants to KO Haye, which could lead to the fight happening.

                  I voted to have another couple fights, but it all depends on how well he can heal up and train at his age. He just won with one arm, but he cant keep doing that.
