A list of all the fighters who retired other fighters....

[sigrab]

You and me both...

Larry retired him.

The Berbick fight was just a second opinion.

Post fight pics of Lewis vs Vitali....

Vitali




Lennox



Who really got the beatdown of a lifetime?

Looks in this case are deceiving.... Vitali has fought at least 10 times since then..... your boy has fought a grand total of ZERO.

[jimmy1569]

FYI - Briggs is not retired. He's planning to fight again this year or early next...


As to the thread question:

Alfonzo Gomez retired Arturo Gatti

Ricky Hatton retired Tsyzu

planning on & going through with it is one & Not THE SAME.. bRIGGS ALSO STATED he'd ktfo Vitali in the first rd... we all know where that landed him>>>>>> a 2 week stay at the hospital & indefinite retirement.

[Larry the boss]

Vitali KLitschko retired Lennox Lewis & Shannon Briggs.... two of the biggest punchers of the 90's

Trevor Berbick retired Ali
Shannon Briggs retired George Foreman
Manny Paquaio retired Oscar Delahoya

You see the common theme here..... all got the beatdowns of there life except for Big George & decided to step down accordingly.... name some other greats who got retired after going against there last opponent?

how do you retire a person who busted your face up and won??

Vitali has to keep fighting to try to erase the fact that he'll never beat Lennox

[jimmy1569]

I would like to think that Holmes retired Ali and not Berbick.

Ali didn't have post dramatic stress with Holmes.... Berbick layed the beatdown that would end ali's career.....

[jimmy1569]

Wladimir Klitschko retired Ibragimov and Haye, among others.

True that!

You just answered your question... Vitali somehow found a way to do it even if the boxing gods called his fight vs Lennox a loss.... in this case it was a loss & strip of Lennox's last title belt & a failure to renew his boxing license.
