    It sounds strange but at that age he is in his prime yet. Why retire when every match is at least several millions for his pocket.

    Voidimir is in no way as accomplished as Lennox.

    Voidimir's resume is dogsh*t.

    Voidimir is not now and has never been undisputed champ.

    Voidimir refuses to fight the #2 guy.

    Voidimir has been brutally knocked out 3 times and only revenged one brutal knock out by bringing a half blind and out-of-shape guy out of retirement.

    Void is void.

    I'm British and a big Lennox fan.

    However, if Wlad were to face the boxers who beat him today (no longer possible, RIP Corrie Sanders) I'm nore certain that he would beat them than Lennox would have beaten Vitali in a re-match.

    Voidimir lost to very poor opposition like journeymen and pro golfers. He was too scared to rematch them though.

    I hope he retires...te guy is effective with his boring jag and clinch style and he uses his height effectively to stay out of range...but his fights put me to sleep and I'd like to see some fresh blood breather into the division. If there were any fairness in boxing above 201lbs., there would have been a super heavyweight division created above 230lbs. so guys like Wladimor and Vitali wouldn't have made a career of beating up smaller guys.

    They both need to retire for the sake of boxing.
    I say let Mitchell and Wilder face each other to decide who's the undisputed Heavyweight Champ so the division can be alive again.

    You fans cant honestly say that you get really excited watching Wlad fight ???

    I remember we bought PPV to watch him vs Ruslan , we were furious after watching that snoozefest and paying $60 !!

    Wlad just jabs and throws a straight right a few times a round , if not, he LAYS on the opponents back / clinches and doesnt get penalized !

    You think thats fun to watch ???? No wonder HBO dropped him !

    almost exactly what ali did in the seventies, but with less rule breaking. ali also threw in elbows, laces, a basic clinic of illegal tactics.

    Yeah I guess he should just be a rock-em sock-em robot, stick his chin out and give free shots :roll: Maybe you shouldn't pay $60 for PPV's if you can't appreciate technical skill. (BTW it was free on German TV, sucks to be you)

    No way he's in much better shape than Lewis was and easier money to be made. Would be heavily favored vs anyone.

    Word :good

    I've been saying this for years to the Wlad haters-Ali worshipers (pretty much goes hand in hand) on here. What selective memory they have. Of course Ali was also fighting in a weak era of non global competition. They also forget that :yep

    They also refuse to show Rigondeaux, you agree with this too ?

    And they'll show the Povetkin bout.
