The Klitschko brothers should retire because they have no competition?

That's like saying Pac and Mayweather should retire if they're not going to fight each other...
Really?

Johnny P

And just to add to what Iccz has said above, why would they stop wanting to make money?

It panned out as anticipated, it's very very hard to fight against someone with such good range, straight shots and footwork. Haye should have taken more risks from round 9 onward. Whether he left on his back or lost on points, it makes little difference. He may have had to take a few shots to get his off but he was miles behind on points anyway.

I don't see why he wouldn't fight Vitali as well. As a minimum they will get 50k  in an Arena in Germany (say £4-5m ) and a fair number of PPV. If he wins then he can call for a rematch, if he loses then he retires with a few million extra quid in the bank. It's not like there are many top heavyweights out there.

Yeah the two brothers should retire, unless they want to fight each other, which they obviously won't. They isn't anybody who can beat them in this era in the heayweight division. It's completely different to the Pacquio and Mayweather situation, because they both claim to want to fight one another and have something to prove.

Iccz

Oh come on Mayweather doesn't want to fight Pac - everyone knows this. He's too scared to lose his 0.

Just because he says he wants the fight doesn't mean he does.

If he wanted the fight then the fight would happen.

Obviously it's human nature to be greedy, but what have the two brothers got left to prove? The fans need to wake up and smell the coffee. The only fight worth paying 15 pound to watch is Pacquio vs Mayweather.

Take the test.....that is all Mayweather is asking for. Take the test...

Iccz

And who is he to order a drugs test?

He is not the governing body. I'm with Pac on that one. I'm a huge Mayweather fan but I have lost a lot of respect for him over this ordeal. Let's be honest, Pac hasn't got anything to lose really - at least record wise.

There's no reason for him to call a test on Pac other than mind games, and Pac's too clever to fall for it.

ganga

If Pacquio wanted the fight so bad he would take the tests Mayweather wants him to.

Iccz

But that's what Mayweather wants him to do, take a needless test to add to the mind games, he doesn't have to take it unless the governing body request it.

If Mayweather wants it he will just let the actual authorities make the required demands and just go fight like he's going to get paid to do...
