Comments Thread For: Klitschko: I'm at Peace With My Decision To Stop Boxing

"that loss was regarded by most experts as one of the best performances of Klitschko's entire career"

Those guys must really hate him... If you clean out boxing's flagship division for 10+ yrs, literally run out of opponents, and their highest rated performance is you getting knocked out in slop brawl at age 40... lol

This. It was one of the most entertaining fights for Wlad, but honestly a 35 yo Wlad would have absolutely destroyed AJ. Still a great Passing The Torch kind of fight, nothing wrong with that.

Hes 43, hes already stiff and not fluid like Fury, it would be even worse with his timing now at 43.

Good decession

I enjoyed watching Wlad. I think his brother was the man though. But ur right Wlad was never slick or smooth at his best. I just hated seeing him try for that leaping left hook constantly and miss it. He was never a natural, which shows he must have worked hard to achieve what he did. Stay retired, unless Ruiz offers him a fight. He could channel Corey Sanders.

nah.. Truth is, you didn't want that smoke from Wilder punk! Lol

Great champion and great ambassador for the sport. Glad he retired with his faculties all intact.

He’ll be back. They always come back until they get beaten into retirement.

Dont think so, he has other ventures outside of boxing which I believe are quite successful. Vitali also thought about coming back a few times but never did.

Seeing him show heart while losing to a good fighter was better than seeing him dominate against a bunch of bums.

You nailed it.... respect brother... getting whipped, taking an loss like a Man.... I love boxing... Kevin Kelly brought tears to my eyes when he was getting physically

I seem to have spoon, and a few on the run???
Am I that evil...

[MrShakeAndBake]

This future Hall of Fame Champ has nothing to prove. 10 years of kicking all types of @zz. When he ruled the mouths were quite... Especially Wilder’s...

[OPS]

Excellent choice Klitschko, you made your mark. You will go down as one of Heavyweights greatest.
I salute you. There's nothing worse than that freaking idiot, Shannon Briggs in his sixties chasing you around Europe, screaming, "let's go champ."
