    Why retire? He can still make money with carefully selected fights, and sooner or later he'll be in line for any one of the alphabet belts available.
    If he could work himself into being a mandatory for Haye's belt, that could be a pretty interesting match.

    Povetkin is extremely underrated, i think he is strong enough and skilful to deal with Peter rather easily...

    I think now that he has lost against both Klitschkos by KO, it is hardly interesting to watch him. Normally, you want to watch fighters who could have the chance to be world champion. But now that seems all over.

    He could only be a touchstone for other fighters, but I doubt that this could motivate him. Ideally, he should enter a second career, as NIgerian Sportsminister or something.

    I think Povetkin not stepping up has something to do with Atlas getting in his head telling him his not ready.That or he does not think he could beat Vlad himself. Before Atlas i remember him being pushed quickly, he did not seem to mind. Either way what hes doing now is pointless, fighting complete nobodies.

    If placed agaisnt the right fighter, Peter can give us some great fights.

    Him Vs. Arreola or Tua would be awesome.

    Peter would probably murder him. I have seen him fight, and he can be a bit fragile

    fat vs stupid. petkovic vs hoffmann,

    but I was surprised how good Petkovic was, considering that he looked like a doughnut all right. Actually, he won the fight. I do not understand the draw.

    Not only should he retire, someone needs to build a time machine to prevent him from ever taking up boxing in the first place.
