    Is there any chance that Vitaly might reconsider retirement if he starts getting good competition to fight him?

    Maybe... I think he really wants 1 more "BIG" fight.... I dont know who against... but I do know Wlad and other team members have been pushing the idea of hanging them up.

    Vitali trainer told me 2 more fights.... 3 at the very most

    I hope he gets that one more big fight. Wladdy already has a soild body of work, and that is only going to get better since he has as many years left as he wants, basically. Vitaly could use that one big win to cement his legacy.

    That being said, if he can only get the Johnson's and Sosnowskis in the ring, there really is no point.

    Fritz has had health problems hasn't he? Anyway, yes I think he's ready to call it a day and move on

    Vitalis trainer is an ******* and Wlad should push his brother more to retire. Wlad is 34 years old and he wants to unify. I will never understand why Vitali is continue working with this man.

    It is very dangerous to look about the next big fight, and than the next, Vitali is 39 years old, not young for a boxer. I hope Wladimir will make it better. Unify and retire and never come back. But with Emanuel Steward he has a great Trainer and adviser in his corner and Wlad will do the right thing.

    Health problems? What health? Health does not exist! It´s all psychological. Mr. Sdunek should think of his own words, his boxers took punishment and his words: "There own false, they are not hard enough!"

    So i do not care of the health of Mr. Sdunek!

    Exactly right, and it's one HUGE advantage they have that nobody really mentions.

    They won't fight each other. so really, they rule out the best 2 fighters in the division facing each other. (understandable though).

    When one brother beats a fighter - then it seems to rule them out of facing the other one. (Why? No other title holders can play that card).

    They also have the option of pushing the heavy handed types to Vitaly, and the boxer types to Wlad - maximising the chances of winning. Very smart management, but gives them a huge advantage.

    I can't argue with Vitaly working his way down the WBC list I guess. I can argue with whoever the **** ranked Briggs #9.

    Was it done on request to line up a fight with Vitaly? Or done for beating bums?

    It seems rankings these days favour fighters who KO guys several leagues below them in ability, rather than rewarding guys that fight other top guys, on a similar level to them.

    I think Arreola losing to Adamek not disgracefully should be rewarded more than Briggs KOing a few taxi drivers.

    Not to me. But if he did this to my brother, he would not be in my corner. That´s for sure.

    I am a great Wlad Fan and i trust my eyes and i trust the facts, so i will not change my opinion about this man.

    What are you saying here? Sounds like you want Vitali to fight Arreola? But Vitali already beat the crap out of Arreola, so that can't be it . . . You want Vitali to fight Adamek? Well, I believe Vitali is up for it, but I don't think Adamek is.

    Vitali will knock Briggs out. Vitali wants to fight Haye, but Haye has ordered the WBA to rank his joke Audley higher to look better. Hell, Briggs would knock Audley out and Haye.

    He is clearly saying that rankings should favor guys, who fight against other top guys. Even if they lose that match

    Not the guys who are beating bums.
