    His fight with Wlad was a total bore, but i thought his fights with Briggs and Holyfield were very high level technical boxing performances. He should get back now he still can, perhaps fight a guy like Liakhovic (if he's still alive).

    Iggy hinted before his fight with Wlad that he'd retire win or lose...and he fought like it against Wlad. I think for the time being he's cooked.

    There was an article somewhere(another boxing site) that said he was retired and proud and feeling good about what he accomplished.He is done with boxing as a fighter.

    Right he said his mom was begging him to quit and so he was considering it. That was shortly after the Wlad fight was announced.

    Word is he's invested very well following the huge payday. Fossil fuels.

    Bad joke, but I couldn't resist.

    **** iggy,,, i order the holyfeild and wlad fight on PPV total = $100 give or take a dime. and they were totally brutal. I think he was a shitty ass champ. He was a good techical boxer but when u dont throw punches against on old man( which he should of destoyed) and do nothing against wlad. maybe u shoud give up boxing, nobody likes u.

    Bottom line who gives a **** is right.

    Easily a solid top 8 heavyweight.

    I hope he comes back.

    Jeff Mayweather ruined his style. His only chance against Wlad was to go for broke in the first 3 rounds or so. Instead he fought out of a crouch the whole night and would not engage.
