he is not retiring he has one big dream in boxing left rematch with Lewis it will happen in 2012 weird thing to say but I believe so he has been hinting at some thing boxing related
Not excited......but when he does hang em up in 13, it might be interesting to see how long it takes Wlad to get Jose to allow him to unify.
What is there to really be excited about though? You can't fault them that Klitschko Bros. are the best of the bunch. If and when they both retire, if the division hasn't improved by then, are you really going to be satisfied with a bunch of average, overweight heavys fighting each other and switching title belts with each other fight after fight? That's what it likely will be what the division will look like when they are gone. Although there are some talents out there like Helenius, Povetkin, etc. that may do something. Time will tell.
no great black hope, sorry Koman600, just go follow the NBA for about 7 more years, maybe the klitschkos will be retired by then..
With all the young East European heavyweights coming up I feel sorry for any fans who need a black champion, because they'll have a long wait.....
Americans sorry to say it but most your heavyweights are dickheads that couldnt box their way out of a wet paper bag. Fortuantely the UK has an abundance of upcoming Hw talent.
I would be shocked if wlad could get the chance to directly fight someone for vitali's belt once he retires, probably areola will win it vs a bum then defend it 4/5 times get hbo all riled up then get schooled by wlad eventually. Vitali can keep fighting if he wants too though, there is no reason to retire when you easily dominate every fight, are in great shape and make easy millions by fighting 2/3 times a year, also if he is happy doing it there is no reason to retire.
Because its easier money to create a new champ and eventually match him up with wlad, remember how much trouble the wba went trough to avoid getting that belt into the klitschko's hand, in the end they made big money off it with haye and now have created the super champion status so they can still claim to have a regular title, therefore have 2 champions in one division and even if the super beats the regular a new regular shows up. Thats why everyone hates them and they are the worst sanctioning body, the wbc is second worse, they strip people from their belts to give to mexicans and jose is known to not be the most fair man. wlad being avoided for a while by the new paper champion seems logical to build up a big fight.
