    It's now after midnight March 25 in Kazakhstan, the birthplace of heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

    Wladimir is now 38 years old.

    Adonis Stevenson announced he will be training alongside Wladimir and it's Great to see Emanuel Steward's pupils unite.

    How much longer can Wladimir Klitschko dominate the heavyweight division?

    He's now at the age when most HWs fade.

    The champ can still hold off the competition for one or two more years but he has shown slight signs of slippage.

    At least he is not slipping as fast his older bro did.

    because he is 5 years younger. 5 years ago Vitali beat up Gomez and Arreola. Wladimir should think about retirement too. Nothing more to achieve

    but he is slipping, not the fighter he was 2/3 years ago, stamina and speed starting to go, footwork becoming worse also.

    I think Wlad is definitely past his best and gets knocked off in the next year or two.

    As Wlad slips more and more and some of these younger guys get better one of them will eventually get to Wlad.
