Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko Retires From Boxing, Joshua Rematch Off

[Elroy The Great]

I disagree because he enhanced his reputation with his last fight. A champion like him deserves to go out better than the fury fight imo

he couldnt do any worse than what he did vs fury. not a bad effort but, we could tell he was done.

Wlad fought mostly all weak bums in a fake padded career of stiffs.

I disagree strongly. He has a very solid resume he was just boring as **** for the most of it.

Just to name a few names he's beat
-povetkin
-haye
-peter
-Jennings
-chagaev
-pulev

All solid fighters and were billed as viable threats to wk at the time they fought. You can't **** on someone who ruled the division for 10 years the only thing the wlad haters can hold over him are losses early in his career

wladimir is almost 42, he doesnt need to prove anything anymore. where was joshua in 2012 or 13?

[OmarRueben]

I'm glad we have some sensible people around here.

Pull up Wlad meager record the past 11 years of mostly bums like Sammy Peters twice and tony Thompson twice and Mormack the french fruit and Davey Knees Haye. Wlad took easy defenses and just had no tough fights. Wlad is a coward who quit afraid of another KO.

now another fighter from ukraine steps in at the top spot in the game vasily lomachenko the top fighter P4P time for that gerkoff gervonta to man up and quit hiding behind the skirts of floyd junior

I wish him all the best in life post retirement.... it was the smart decision, I don't think he had enough left in the tank to have any chance in the rematch.

Basically all bums. Russian fighters are stiff robots easy to hit and cannot move laterally just come straight on in.
Wlad fought in a decade of no talent and had a fake career till Joshua KO'd Wlad and now Wlad QUITS. Commies are all like that.

Good decision, nothing left to prove, he's made more money than sense, had a fantastic career....Father Time beckons.

[Karoriori]

Hall of fame fighter. Nothing left to prove a great heavyweight

[boliodogs]

He has been fighting for so many years and he is very old for a boxer. He has had a great career and he was a fighting champion for many years. I am glad he is retiring now after a good fight.
