Klitschko resigns as heavyweight champ, and yet another boxing related thread dies in less then 1 day.

The trouble with boxing retirements Sir D is that they have very poor record of staying that way! I never even got to see Vitali Klitschko fight! I wish him well though as this does seem genuine.

Who is out there that has the ability to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world? Since Lewis retired I have not really being paying the same attention I used too [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you had've asked me a few weeks ago, i'd have said Eric "Butterbean" Esch. But i saw him fight last week and he was lame. And not in an injured way either. He was just lame.

Well, Klitscho's smart and has managed his money well (better then most boxers right there), and is injured. I don't think he'll be coming up again, especially since Lennox Lewis has ruled out a rematch.
