    this guy is freakin ******ed.....he still at his best...why retire now.
    if he only reverted back to his aggressive style he would have been a force in the division right now

    He's being honest, he stands no chance against either Klitschkos and he knows a fight with Valuev means he gets robbed even if he puts the alien on a stretcher.

    I could tell when he fought Wlad his heart wasn't in it. He should have retired two years ago.

    This was announced last week (or earlier this week.. :huh)

    He made enough in the Klitschko fight that he doesn't feel the need to continue on as, at best, a fifth or sixth wheel in the division.

    I would hate to see him come back after couple of years when he runs out of money!

    Like you said he could earn his money now when he is at his best!

    good for him. no point in fighting if you lost the will and warrior mentality. he'll always be remembered as somewhat of an enigma for me. we'll never know how good he was, I think besdies the Klits he's the best heavy out there but again who knows for sure

    I honestly think that if he fought Klitschko the way he fought Lance Whitaker he would have won that fight

    I give him credit for admitting his hearts no longer in it. All the best to him no matter what he does
