    Wlad should inject 750ml of testosterone right before the rematch.

    Kovalev just became more comfortable, as his ballz started fitting better into his trunks :lol:

    Doesn't Fury have 2 kids? Miscarriage and all? Sounds like both have their fair share of issues to deal with at home, not a distinct disadvantage for Wlad.

    You are 100% right and I am not saying that if father time did not hit him he would win but he looked terrible. Partially due to Fury making him look terrible but he was definitely not himself and probably won't be again.

    Yeh and if Yusuf Mack didn't have ten kids he'd have never turned gay.

    Imagine the obstacles that Evander Holyfield had to go through.

    All the testosterone changes from impregnating half of Georgia.

    If it wasn't for all of his kids he'd still be HW champion and his speech would be perfect.

    Ummmmm Fury has two kids? So tf this only apply to Wlad but then not to Fury? Hahaha are you a pacquaio Fan by any chance with these lame excuses you coming out with.

    There's only one reason why Klit isn't good anymore and that's EMMANUEL STEWARD.

    Well....here goes. Prior to Mike Tyson fighting Douglas I felt that she had completely screwed/rewired his head. Not that it was a great head to begin with but it was the head of a very effective fighter. We all know what happened there. Taking nothing from Douglas he was motivated and was willing to pay the price. He was there at the right time and place. I can say I have had the sting of what a woman can do to your head if you become vulnerable. Later, of course, you become immune and say Fug that sheeiiit. and like buses here comes another. thankfully. However, there may be something here. His mind might be more than distracted. If so....straighten it out quick and rematch....if not retire. He has my respect completely either way. I hope he comes back and ko's Fury. which he is totally able to do and then retires.

    Yes, Wlad is old. Yes, Wlad is long past prime. Yes, what you said about a child mellowing a fighter down is true.

    But none of that excuses the terrible strategy, the Pavlovian reflex grabs and the sheet lack of intellect in the ring that Wladimir exhibited. He fought a bigger, stronger, younger guy. To beat someone like that you need to be smarter, use your experience to set up traps, or utilize your superior chin and superior firepower to trade with your opponent and take him out. He did none of those things. Because for years, he fought smaller guys and he allowed himself to regress to a level of jab-grab-repeat robotic creature. His style has been ****yzed to death, its just that no one had the size and the sheer mental strength to deal with it.
    Until Fury came along, a man too stupid to be intimidated, and too big to be pushed around.

    11 years is a hell of a run. Long live the King.

    Wlad lost because at this stage in Wlad's career, Fury was exactly the right man, with the right style, skill set, and mentality to beat him.

    Yusef Mack has 10 kids, by your logic he shouldn't be able to win a golden gloves.
