I never was a real fan of him, nor am I a dedicated fan of boxing, but like him or not - the Ukrainian put his stamp on a whole decade in this sport and dominated it like only very few before. Her was unified title holder from 2006 to 2015, remained unbeaten for 11 years in a row, most competitors stepping into the ring with him, were simply chanceless and got outclassed. As an athlete of this sport, he deserves highest respect and imo is one of the very titans of the sport's history - and there are not that many with that label . I think he gave the decision the thinking time it deserves, and I also assume he made the right one. He took all that was there to take in this sport, and then some more. He cannot achieve anything more. His last fight against Joshua, was a blast. It will be remembered. But the future - must be for the young. I cannot help but think that everything feels okay about this end. We all must leave one day, the only quesiton is how we do it. He does it well.
