Wlad....... please retire for the good of boxing.

[Freedom]

Wladimir Klitschko's fights are to me what the superbowl is for an American NFL fan - the biggest events in sports.

Some people don't like him because he's not from the same country they are. Others don't like him because he's not of the same race they are or of the race they find attractive.

I'm able to rise above such stupidity and ignorance. I have favorite boxers from countries all over the world and of all different races.

I agree with this post in part, my friend. There were many people who thought that Floyd Mayweather fights weren't fun either because of his defense-first style of boxing, even if it is effective. So, styles make fights to a certain extent.

@TitoFan - I'm actually genuinely looking forward to Povetkin-Wladimir in August 2013. I agree, however, after beating Povetkin, who else really is there? I also wouldn't mind seeing Wladimir beat Arreola, Fury and Solis, but they are like Floyd fighting Guerrero and the other GB junior welterweights that have been rumored in the running for a fight with him, there's just no chance they win.

@Rantcatrat , seems my attempt at irony was wasted on a couple of individuals here (not you). No of course Wlad isn't retiring any time soon. My frustration is having 3-4 more years of mediocre HW fights because no one will give Wlad a good fight. Povetkin.... sure. But he's just the latest of promises that will vanish into thin air once he steps into the ring with Wlad. They all talk a big game, and forget to bring that game to the ring come fight night. Arreola... I just don't see it. Vitali handled him with relative ease... and I think Wlad would do more of the same. Fury is SUPER raw and years away from even being mentioned in the same sentence with Wlad. Solis... another empty promise so far.

Once Wlad is gone.... the pretenders will emerge from the shadows and fight each other for the vacated titles. And we'll have real fights again. Not 12 rounds of pawing and survival mode.

The biggest events in sports? Why presume that people don't like him because he is not from the same country as they are. You are tarring a lot of decent boxing fans there with one huge brush. Your own comments are both stupid and ignorant.

"Others don't like him because he's not of the same race they are or of the race they find attractive."

Yes I will gladly tell you to go fuck yourself @TitoFan


Why hate on Wlad? He does the right thing all the way around the sport. He fights often, he wins usually by KO/TKO, he shows up IN SHAPE, he fights using his brains as well as his brawn. It's not his fault fighters come to challenge him out of shape, not Wlad's fault they give up before the fight, not Wlad's fault the challengers aren't consistent in their fights leading up to a title shot, not Wlad's fault nobody can deal with his style.

If you're going to hate on someone hate on the contenders and don't be a dumbass

I'm not hating on Wlad, @El Kabong . But you're so GODDAM defensive you can't see the forest for the trees. I'm actually hating on the rest of the division. But NO-O-O-O-O-O-O....... you can't see that because if I don't kneel at the Wlad memorial, then I'm hating on him. I'm tired of your defensive bullshit.

I don't like his style of winning and that is my God-given right.
So if that doesn't sit well with you........ then YOU can go fuck yourself.

[El Kabong]

How would Wlad retiring help the rest of the division? You're not thinking clearly

It's facetious Lyle. Calm down for chrissakes.

Geeeez man... stop being so goddam defensive of everything Wlad.

No, I do not like Wlad's style of winning. But I'm perfectly aware that it's more the opponents fault than Wlad's. It's the rest of the division I hate. I'm also a bit peeved that Wlad gets a free pass at this stage of his career because the rest of the division is either SHIT..... or is 10-15 years away from developing a true contender that would give Wlad a run for his money.

No.... Wlad retiring won't improve the quality of the division. That's ridiculous. BUT in a way, it would even the playing field because think about it...... the alphabet orgs have to crown SOMEONE champion, right? There would be a mad rush of mediocrity fighting for the newly vacated crowns, and in the process we might even see fights where the opponents aren't scared shitless of each other. We might see knockdowns galore. We might see offense for the first time in eons.

NOW are you catching my drift??

[El Kabong]

You're gay

[TysonBomb]

Fighting bums is one thing, not entertaining at all while fighting bums is something else

Wlad fights scared even against bums

Off top: VITALI is the best fighter out there today. It's a shame boxing fans wish to see his brother fight more than him. Wlad is the second best fighter out there today.

With that being said, Vitali makes it in a pre-00's era of boxing, but just slightly. Wlad, on the other hand, gets blasted away.

Vitali is the read champion out there, NOT Wlad!

You can speculate all you want but those two will never fight. That's what they've said and I believe them.
