1. Rigo's not a poosy 2. Rigo's not a coward 3. Rigo does what he does by exceptional skill. Waldo uses massive physical advantages and boring dirty cowardly tactics
He has 3 fights lined up for him Povetkin, Pulev and Haye/Fury winner, that will occupy him for 2013-2014. After that maybe someone will emerge on the scene, maybe Wilder or Jennings so he can fight them in his last fight and then retire.
When you think about it he really does have at least three or four fighters already lined up for him. I wish this happened before he had to fight Mormeck but at least it's happening.
No. He's always in good shape, hasn't looked like he's starting to slip and basically rules the division. There's nobody around that you would back to beat him. He'll continue to earn pay day after pay day against guys who ain't in his league.
this thread actually puts lewis's retirement into good perspective. How could anyone deny that the mandatory Vitali rematch didnt have anything to do with his retirement? if Lewis would not have met Vitali, he would not have retired at that time simple as that.
:good:good Wlad will retire when he lost to love boxing. Lewis lost this love before he fought Vitali. But it was the right decision. It is not good when boxers fight in a high age. Wlad should think about retirement at the right time.
Technical skill? Maybe all trainers from now on should teach the art of head locks and bear hugs . No need to learn how to parry, block, move and counter, as a form of defence anymore.
Chaggy was a sick patient and US doctors condemned him as an opponent. Wlad was also banned from HBO and the fight was rejected.. Wlad never sold PPV , ever.
he can go on for as long as he has fans stupid enough to pay to watch him fight regional level opps. but any self respecting champion would bury the hatchet with Povetkin.
