Vitali Klitschko retired!

[yoz]

there is no denial that Wlad's resume is way superior to Vitali's but that doesn't take anything from the fact that Vitali was something special.

Only few champions in the history of the sport would be favorites against prime Vitali. He would hold his own against pretty much anybody.

Tough son of a b1tch, that's for sure.

Goodbye, champ.

Wladimir will be ducked by every contender now. Whoever picks up the WBC strap will become the target.

Sucks for Wlad.

We shall see. Maybe we even have a unification match, who knows?

After watching the numerous fouls from the Wlad/ Povetkin fight, then why the hell should anyone fight Wlad???

[Weebler I]

A great fighter, no doubt.

Its just a shame an American HW will get to keep the WBC belt hostage now. Wladimir is going to be ducked continuously.

Haitian-Canadian Bermaine Stiverne will probably win it and I don't think he ducks Wladimir Klitschko.

Having said that, WBC doesn't allow unifications and from a neutral perspective, this is one case where it's a positive. Wlad holding all the belts and defending against Mormeck, Leapai, Wach and Pianeta is not healthy for the division or the sport.
