We all knew Vitali was coming back from so spare us the melodrama. Is L.L next?

[tedsares]

It's good that Vitali is coming back but didn't we all know this was going to happen from the very beginning? Some of these melodramatic returns are bile-inducing. Hell, the only one who ever meant what he said was Lennox and for that I hold him in high respect. Next prediction will be that Vitali will be calling out Lennox...but that's because he needs the money. Lennox doesn't.

I don't think he ever really retired, it was just a way to increase his profile! He knew he would be out long term with the injury, so why not retire and pave the way for a lucrative comeback

Exactly my point. It was all a big hoax.

I didn't think Vitaly would come back.....I respect him because he knew he had injurys...He knew he would be going out for a long time if not for good.....Unlike many fighters who would have held the title up just for the sake of being champion Vitaly let it go....Giving someone else a chance who is still healthy and is fighting.....That was a classy move in my opp.....He is also a lot younger then Lennox...Lennox left when he knew the time was right for him....No matter what people want to say about him he left when the time was right...Why stick around to end up like many formerly top notch champions do....Hoping for the glory to remain.....And he made sure he kept his money and not blow it....Vitaly is healthy now and is still young enoghh to resume what was a good career that was getting better.....Hey remember something...The Klitschkos are the select few fighters out there who fight purely for the love of boxing and glory it can bring.....They are college graduated board certified doctors they don't need boxing to make a good living

he had to make a defense within a few months or be stripped, coz of pulling out of past fights due to injurys. He had to pull out again coz he got hurt and retired rather then being stripped of his title.

I haven’t read through this whole thread so I apologise if I’m repeating what someone else has already said but..
It wouldn't surprise me if Vitali, Mr PhD in Psychology, comes back into Boxing, does very well for himself and then begins to make claims against Lennox Lewis for not doing them same.

You see where im comming from?

[Wacko3205]

Here's the thing...I'm honestly glad he's coming back.

There's no sure thing in the heavies right now & if he returns & is in form...things could get interesting. YES...I do think Peter deserves his shot as Maskaev...but it could be worse.

Vitali coming back is a good thing.

They are college graduated board certified doctors they don't need boxing to make a good living

My whole point there Teddy Boy is that...Unlike most fighters who come back to boxing because they need the money...Or take the sport up in the first place because they would never do well any other way because of lack of education opp and ability to land good jobs that pay more than 10-15 bucks an hour...The Klitschko bros fight purely for the love of the game....Either could make o very nice living off their PHD's....
