    As many as he wants as long as he stays away from SNV.

    I think he'll stay boxing and stay active if he still feels, at some point in the not so distant future, that he can finally get Haye or Valuev in the ring and end on a decently big fight (Valeuv) or a mega fight (Haye).

    I don't see Vitali retiring on a Briggs win. Gotta go out with more of a bang than that.

    But if Vitali were to retire and then Haye were to beat his little brother, you can bet Vitali would come charging back to boxing. LOL

    I think it all depends on what his future prospects are, cause he certainly seems to feel up to the task.

    I voted 3 or more but on further thought I'm not sure. Haye is a delusional ***** and will NEVER fight him, and the champ is his brother and that fight will never go down. Other than that the division is pathetic so theres no need to stick around forever just to beat up bums. I say he tries to get Haye, which wont happen, then fights 1 or 2 times tops

    I'm saying two. Strange to think this fight with Briggs is his 6th fight since coming back

    I don't think Vitali will retire until Haye has been exposed, and if Haye hasn't lost to a Klitschko within 2 fights he will have lost to someone like Chagaev. I'd like to see Vitali face Haye after the Harrison fight, and for VK to retire on that fight. Doubt it'll happen though

    He'll probably dust off a money hungry Solis then get Valuev in there or something, if not him then HOPEFULLY Haye, although David won't ever step in there with Vitali.

    Haye, and Valuev have declined matches with Vitali in the past. I have a feeling for a little more money, Valuev will take the match.

    Sky is the limit. My points:

    1. In a third interview now Vitaly has talked about how good he feels.

    2. He has publically stated that he will not quit unitl he and his brother have all of the belts.

    3. A lot of damned fools are trying to say he is showing his age- he hasn't clearly lost a round yet in his comeback.

    4. Until Helenius, Boytsov and Pulev are ready, there is no chance the competition is going to be any better.

    5. Vitaly wants a place in history, and he knows he has more work to do.

    6. Vitaly keeps saying he does not want to break Foreman's record. The statement is telling on many levels. Much like Foreman, he is haunted by an un-avenged loss that keeps him going. Besides, what does this really mean? He is only 39, Foreman fought till 47. So when he ways that he does not want to break Foreman's record, he is (at least subcosniously) saying that he won't fight on for another eight years.
