Damn, Klischko retires. Announced today

Damn I'm pissed now. Would have loved to see him beat up that bum Rahman.

That is too bad

no loss to boxing

Klitschko was great both in and out of the ring. He was a real credit to a sport that has increasingly struggled for respectability in recent years.

Both he and his brother, who was also a former World Champion, have PhD degrees and speak several languages.

Unfortunately a string of injuries has brought a great boxing career to an end.

I wish him well with his future endeavors...

The heavy weight devision was a joke.. and it's even more of a joke now.

I can't believe they will hand the belt to Hasbeen Rahman now. What a disgrace.

Don't worry, it won't take long til he faces another beating. :1orglaugh

knee injury for a boxer?

He'll be back...

Oh no, he was one of the few you could stand in the heavyweight boxing scene.

I don't even follow boxing but thought 'WTF?' when I heard that on the radio. Surely common sense would be that the belt be either vacated entirely or just held onto by Kliscko until the two leading contenders battle it out?

He used to be a kick boxer back in the day, and yeah, boxer's bodies take a beating all over, if not in the ring, then in training.

yup , give him a year :2 cents:

damn :( just seen it in the news

that suxors.. i would have loved to see his & Rahman fight :(

what people still watch boxing? i thought that shit got boring when UFC came out, and youre speaking a fuckin while back there.. why would you wanna watch a UFC match with oversized gloves and no kicks no knees no takedowns no chokes no submissions no nothing? boxing is not representative of who is the strongest fighter, theyre just punchers. good ones, too, but just punchers.

I hope so..

he's the best heavy weight fighter at the moment :thumbsup

Shit! I loved Klitschko!

that's sux ! :(

this is a bad news.. I really wanted to see his next fight =(

My wife is Ukranian so we were going to watch him kick some ass on Satuerday night :(

He should have at least beat down Rahman before going out.

That'a what I was also dying to watch. :winkwink:

its depressing to loose a very good boxer like him

ditto... the only heavyweight that i like byrd...

Probably time to hang them up..look at Ali now with all those beats to the head..take the money and what's left of your health and get out

absolutely stupid comment...

you can't compare boxing with mma... simple as that...

yea dude... totally!

:( sad day in boxing.
