    Yeah he got stopped. People have gotten stopped while ahead. As you start to learn more about the sport you'll realize this.

      A great fighter and a great man, hope he enjoys his retirement.

        Vitali just signed a 15 million euro contract with RTL to show two of his fights. Don't think he could back out on that.

          It's a shame he'll be remembered most for avoiding Haye though, that would be the ideal fight for them both to retire on in my opinion.
          LMFAO!!! you're the only person in the world literally that thinks worse of Vitali for not fighting Haye.

          Haye is pretty much universally considered a joke.

          you might as ell have typed that Vitali will be know for ducking Marco Huck unless he fights him before retirement.

            Vitali is a great man and was a dominant fighter.

            I didn't realize this before but he actually plays guitar and his wife is a singer. I saw a video of him playing guitar and his wife singing together.

              It is also a fact that he lost, regardless of what the score cards say; HE LOST. Get over it, it's getting boring.

                Gotta agree with you here. I would have loved to see Haye vs Vitali though, as it would have resulted in a humiliating beating for Haye.

                    No wins over any opponent that would rank in the top 150 HWT's ever. No matter how high the KO percentage is, the level of competition is deplorable and should not be celebrated IMO.

                      AGreed, except Haye would be Vitali's best victory should he win, thats why so many want them to fight.
