Vitali and retirement, not just yet

Can't say anything bad about Vitali, He is by far my Fav HW.
But I'm sure a loss to Briggs might change his mind a bit, Then again a REMATCH.
(Nevermind...)

 

at the age he is he can lose it between fights,seen it happen many times.what you may want and what does happen can be 2 entirely different things indeed

 

Whilst the current crop probably aren't good enough to deal with him at his age he may lose it overnight. It's happened to other heavyweights in the past. Personally I'd like to see him retire after tonight becauase even if he beats Briggs who else is there left to fight that would add significat weight to his legacy? Haye? I'd rather Haye fight WALDO or maybe give WALDO the opportunity to fight for the WBC belt. I don't think he has a lot longer left, one or two more fights maximum.

 

if he feels good and wants to fight then let him do it.
vitali is no bum or can or nothing, his a great boxer and his beating the guys who step in front of him.

 

I ain't gonna front tho, @ 25/1 it's hard not to lay down something on Briggs.

 

Briggs is too old to beat Vitali. But if he continues to fight, Vitali will get beaten. He's much slower than he was in his prime and can't see the punches coming like he used to. If he fight a hungry, young guy like Bostyov or Solis, he might lose.

 

Boytsov is pretty good but Solis might be to hungry if you know what I mean.

 

Good for him

 

hes keeping very active which is unusual for a veteran of his age, 3 fights a year is usually for guys in their their 20s.he must have a lot left in the tank if he can keep up with that kind of a fight schedule

 

Vitaly is not going to quit any time soon. Much like Foreman, he is driven on by a loss he cannot avenge. We are going to be able to enjoy Vitaly for a long time.

 

After this...Vitali's best option is valuev, adamek, or solis (if he beats Austin). Haye/Povetkin cannot be considered realistic options at this point. After that, one opponent is as good as another.

 

Good for Vitali. Shame for Wlad, though.

 

Great read. Adamek is most likely next, then Austin/Solis, then hopefully a healthy Valuev, and perhaps after that, maybe, maybe, Haye. Even without HAye that would be a pretty respectable run of opponents.

 

You and I think alot alike my friend.

And then when The Klits have done enough and hung them up, Pulev can can pick up where they left off, with megafights against Boytsov, Helenius, and Glaskov.
