Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko Postpones Career Decision Until 2013

I think Thomas Adamek is a top notch fighter.

Yes he was a solid LHW and a good CW. But he is not a top notch HW name. He's 6'1 and 210 pounds. Hardly impressive for a 6'7 245 pound fighter.

adamek is solid but his best win at HW is arreola. he beat grant & golota, had a close call vs a one handed eddie chambers & got hurt a few times by nagy aguilera. he is a good HW not top notch. the scary thing is vitali's best win since his hiatus has been against peter. peter was coming off a close loss to his brother, 2 wins over toney & a title win over maskaev & escaped against mccline. mccline was the man who exposed peter. he was never the same after that fight. he beat a game but aging maskaev for the title. vitali got the left overs of mccline. before he retired his best win was over a fat kirk johnson or larry donald. realistically he is overhyped. i don't even think he makes the hall of fame.

This ^. But he will get in the hall of fame, simply because of the number of wins he has put together. But it is probably not deserved..

Vitali has laid waste to the entire division,shame Lewis wouldn't give him a rematch,Vitali would have beat him.

LL took everything vk threw at him & LL was clearly past his best & at the end of the road & he still got sliced & diced vk, vk was lucky LL didnt fight him earlier. however imho i think LL would have finished vk off if his corner men could have done better.

So you don't want Vitali to fight Haye then?

[Weltschmerz]

Vitali was out during his prime years, without the injury problems who knows, he could have achieved even more. You guys just bash him, the Lennox fight was epic and Vitali has since proven to be a very respectable champ. What will you say if he beats Haye, then he's a legend?

[SN!PER]

Times are changing. Pacquiao being KO'd starts a new era in boxing. The Klitschkos may be the next to fall...

[Weltschmerz]

I don't see anybody but Haye having a legit chance vs either Klitschko. Vitali will retire next year, but Wlad will rule the HW division until he retires, another 4-5 yrs. There are many good fights for Wlad that will extend his resume.

Also, the ones claiming the hw div is dead, how will it be when the Klitscko's are gone? Tyson Fury or David Price are better champs?

Maybe, maybe mot. But there is little doubt that the eventual champ will fight the next best guy in the division unlike now and not divy up the competition with the next best fighter.
