Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko Pulls Out Of Presidential Race In Ukraine

[TwistedChimp]

Who knows why he stepped down? I do know that if Ukraine ends up in the EUs death trap, they're going to get bled dry. Soros and ***** is trying real hard for Ukraine to join the EU. They would be better off with Russia. Maybe not that much better off, but better off.

Maybe he knew that the task ahead of him would be one he wasnt ready to handle just yet. Ukraine with Russia is in a state disarray and maybe someone with more political exp will be a better fit.

Of course im just talking on a forum and have no idea if the other guy even has any exp himself.

Politics isnt my strong point but it is Vitali so my interest is peaked.

No matter who wins the presidency you can bet that the international bankers will get who they want in office.

Agreed.

Come back and reclaim your title as beltholder. There's a long and rich history that includes the likes of Herbie Hide, Akinwande and Shannon Briggs that you must continue.

Shannon Briggs was actually "THE CHAMP" believe it or not..he was lineal champion

[LacedUp]

If you are "saying" it you are asserting it as fact. You have evidence? No. You just write nonsense.

What does that even mean, dude? I didn't "assert" anything.

Simple: Vitali earned it and never lost it. While he's active, hes the champ.

If Lewis would not have retired or retired and came back, he would be the champ again until he lost. If he stayed retired, the lineage is reset.

Its not rocket science.

Wow, quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read. If you retire, you give up your lineage it's as simple as that. Vitali retired twice.

Shannon Briggs was actually "THE CHAMP" believe it or not..he was lineal champion

I think that's debatable to be honest. Whilst he was lineal champ after he beat Foreman, Holyfield was considered 'champ'. Which is also why Lewis wasn't considered champ before he beat Holyfield.

Lineage isn't always equal to "the man", and this is a prime example of when.

What does that mean?

Anyway, I hope he doesn't come back to boxing. I think he'd do a good job as President and boxing is better off without him anyway.

[Hayehammer]

Come back and pummel Haye, please!

Haye cant even throw a punch with his right hand yet

[cupocity303]

He is a young guy in terms of politics. It's no good to be President in this turmoil anyway, as presidents are being passed around like a 5 dollar Tijuana hooker.

He might as well keep his name out there, try his bid for Mayor and go for President at a later time when things are more stable.

That's pretty much your answer. He's basically sacrificing himself to avoid a bad situation. A LOT of people distrust Tymoshenko now, she has the past with corruption. By Vitali sacrificing himself in this race, he avoids the risk of his and Poroshenko's votes being closely run and basically allowing Yuliya to get ahead. By one popular candidate putting his weight behind another, there is much more chance Poroshenko will win it. And this act will be remembered later as a smart move from Vitali as he will be seen as really being patient and caring about Ukraine, not taking the big job on before he is ready, or completely supported.
