Vitali should retire real soon.

[street bully]

I have never seen him as slow, or flat as he was last night. He has enough left to beat Haye, so he should push for that fight, or fight a few more fights against the other HWs and retire, age has caught up with him.

I agree. I don't want to see him continue on as a slower, faded version of what he once was.

But it may have been conditioning and motivation yesterday, because he was very sharp in the Arreola fight last September.

Vitali will probably retire this year. He has signed a contract with his TV station for one more fight.

Wilder should get him now. Take out the wounded creature and be the next great American fighter. Alexander may be great, along with other fighters but Americans need a big man to look up to.

wilder has fought 3 guys with winning records so far and all of them were novices , vitali would crush him , the step up in the class would be far too much for him even now

Wilder needs to learn how to really fight like a pro fighter 1st.....it will be years and that is no embellishment of how much time he needs before he would even be able to compete with someone like Chagaev for instance.

He was joking... Or at least I hope he was.

Vitali is still the best HW alongside his brother. He has stated that once the Klitschkos have all the belts, he will retire. So once one of the brothers gets the WBA belt, it'll be a wrap for him. Unfortunately, I think someone else will have to beat Haye for them to have a chance at it.

[PittyPat]

I think he looked pretty much the same as his last 4 fights. It's not as if he's the same fighter as the one who demolished Hide in '99 - with his hands up high and feet moving around speedily.

Still, it works. He's getting them out of there. That's the main thing.

[Exocet]

Either he's declined fast since last September (he still showed good speed and reflexes against Arreola), or he didn't take this fight very seriously.

Although still, when he finally decided to open up in rounds 9 and 10 he looked pretty potent. Just up to that point he looked slow and a bit disinterested to be honest. Guess none of us know for sure but if it is age, he should retire before someone beats him that really shouldn't.
