Hope Seth retires. His whole career seemed like a respectable money grab & he got some money so he should gtfo & move on. He seems like he could do more important sh!t than getting hit in the head.

I read somewhere that Povetkin is to fight Chagaev.I will look for the article and post link.

No updates. All retired, all twittering.

Luis Ortiz had an offer to fight Povetkin and refused because of money. So now lets see how much money he makes by sitting on his ass.

Who told Mitchell to retire and was it based on chin or bigger issues than that? Getting knocked out a couple times is normally not a hey retire dude kind of thing. Many guys a career out of it. And if he needs money without another issue I don't see why they would tell him to retire. He has KO power and can be KO'd. He makes for exciting fights. I'd like to see him and Travis Walker get it on. Him vs any number of guys is still a watchable fight. And he did revenge his first knockout loss without getting sparked. So he only has 1 unavenged blemish and since Arreola is down perhaps that could be a fight 2 or 3 down the road. Arreola's been down since too. Seth has it to spark him as well...if he can stay unsparked himself. Anyways, I just don't see why he would be told to retire unless there was more to it. And if there is not anymore, he should be able to get somebody to back him as he's only a streak away from some big bread. If not a backer he should be able to get some decent paying offers to be an opponent. Win one of those type of fights against a top guy and then he will garner more interest.

Adamek is the one I'd like to see retire. He should have made enough money and he has sustained many very brutal nights. Mitchell has been sparked quick but never really accumulated on badly. Adamek stepped up and took on the HW's and did phenomenal, he has won the belts where can win one. Perhaps the WBC door is open or regular WBA but a HW title of weak variety is not worth it. He looked to be getting old to me in the Glazkov fight. He was still a warrior but the young lion was eating him up. He should retire and enjoy life. No more nights like that. He could still win some more fights but he's had enough. If he was my race horse he would just enjoy the job of studding for the rest of his days.

You don't need updates on Povetkin. He fought two months ago. That's yesterday, in boxing years. If a top heavyweight fought two months ago, you don't need to expect him to even announce his future plans for another 3-4 months.

Arreola is recovering from surgery to remove bone chips and scar tissue in his elbow. He will supposedly be targeting an October return anyway, though, with opponent currently unknown. Arreola is surprisingly game for fighting frequently against good opponents, compared to everyone else in the division.
