    You also clearly do not understand eventing. It is however a fine art and I'm not surprised that you are unable to comprehend such a thing. There's no need to be bitter as Vitali holds a solid EVT 6 over Lennox Lewis

    I would rather have SOlis than Povetkin.

    ANd he won't be able to face Haye if WLad gets him first...

    Great news.... Id like to see him retire sooner rather then later. I want to see Wlad be the man, and also Vitali is declining like crazy and dont want to see him stick around much longer.

    A good scrap with Adamek and maybe a rematch with Solis and hes good to go.

    I was never a fan of Vitali, but Ive def started liking him lately.

    Can anybody tell me what the guy who wrote that article was talking about? Vitali looked invincible? The other guys knee went out! I'm a Vitali fan and there's no way any contact was even slightly made that knocked Odlanier to the floor. Looked invincible? No! Vitali caught 2 quick combos to the grill that he didn't even see coming or goin. I think Solis would've gotten a piece of this guy if healthy. Odlanier has superior hand speed and that was obvious!

    i wish he can fight someone who can give him a good fight, but, probably will never happen. if haye gets past wlad, which is probably unlikely, then, maybe we can see a decent heavyweight fight again.

    Actually, if he beats Adamek.... then for his last fight, is able to fight Valuev, I think it would be immense.

    Depends what you mean by 'a legacy' vitali's legacy will either be:

    A fellow beltholder who beat a number of top ranked fighters

    An undisputed champion who was the best of his era

    A guy who never lived up to his potential.

    Now beating haye and adamek will solidify his claims to the first legacy. If haye first bets wlad, then a victory over haye solidifies the second legacy. If he fights neither he solidifies the third.

    Well, how about a farewell bout with Wlad in December? Maybe they can work it so that it would be competitive, but Wlad would win so that the WBC belt would not pass from the Klitschko family, and Wlad could be both undisputed, and undoubtedly linear.

    Of course, they won't tell the public it was a fix or something like that.

    What is the source on this?

    I don't believe it anyway. He said 2010 was going to be his last year. There is always the next fight and the next.

    If so, I hope Haye/Adamek or Haye/Valeuv.

    I'd love to see Vitali fight Adamek and then end his career against Valuev. I've always wanted to see that fight for some strange reason.

    I agree, if there's a huge positive to Vitali leaving... it leaves the opportunity for Wladimir to collect the titles so we can have an undisputed heavyweight champion.

    I don't see this story anywhere either.

    Source? Link?

    Can't see him qutting as long as he's rolling through people.

    And he definitely won't quit until the brothers have all the belts.

    He is? I hadn't noticed.

    "Declining" would normally indicate he is having some kind of trouble in the ring with his opponents, which he isn't.
