    He is a full-time politician.
    He will never return to the ring.

    He will return to become the oldest heavyweight champion in history. Has been talking about it in the past.

    Watching the utterly forgetful fight between Fury and Wlad, my impression is Vitali cared more about the fight and its conclusion than his brother did. It's clear he still has some fire for the game.

    First he would need to get in the gym quietly and see what he has left.

    Lewis tried this after he treated, and was even marked up in his face a bit, a telltale sign he was in the gym testing things out.

    If Wlad losses the re-match, I say it's 60/40 he returns!

    If vitali had just fought fury in 2012 when he was vitali's mando then we wouldn't be talking about him making a comeback to avenge wlad

    Wrong. Wlad told Johnny Nelson - its better to be dead than be second , before the fight.

    Fury was his biggest test in a long time and he said as much himself along with his assistant trainer.
    He lives by the motto - failure is not an option

    He took Fury more serious than anybody else he ever faced.

    BS. Wlad did not try to win until very late in the fight. He opted to fail by letting Fury out work him and not throwing his own right hand. It would only take one or two big shots to make Fury defensive. Nothing Fury was landing really hurt him either.

    What a fighter says and does can be very different. But what he does in the ring is more likely the truth. He opted to fail for 10 rounds in this fight.

    I do not think Fury is better than Pulev or even Jennings. He's on par with them and lucked out facing a near 40 Wlad who got old before our eyes in the ring and lost his will to fight.

    But to get you on record, if Vitali comes back and beats Fury, what would you think? Or if Wlad Ko's fury in the re-match, what would you think?

    I disagree. Fury played on a flaw of Wlads that's been obvious for a long time now, that he's petrified of counter-punchers.

    That was the same Wlad that swatted Ibragimov for 12 rounds and threw maybe 3 power punches at Haye. The only difference was that Fury was not someone he could outjab.

    You could see how Furys feints were clearly affecting Wlad and making him back off and rethink what he was gonna do. Fury outfoxed him fair and square.

    I think Wlad can win the rematch though because Fury doesn't really have a lot of power and a shaky chin himself, but he'll need to put his mental midgetry behind him and go out on his shield.

    BS?? Are saying he did not say what he said. Do you want me slap links and videos across your useless Mug?

    Everybody knows how obsessed Wlad is about his belts , never losing again and breaking records for title defences.

    Wlad tried his best from the opening bell , but his best was not good enough.
    Totally irrelevant if your feeble mind believes Jennings and Pulev are better than Wlad . Fury beat the exact same Wlad who flattened Pulev and UD'd Jennings , so that makes Fury better than those two and better than Wlad.
    That is an absolute fact . A fact is based on results and the fact is that Fury boxed Wlad into a shell.

    Vitali would lose to Hughie Fury if he came back now.

    Peter Fury wanted that fight for Hughie and he was deadly serious. He is never coming back. Ever.

    You predicted Wlad to destroy Fury easy so you can't make any excuses.
    You're even picking him to win the re match by KO ffs.

    He won fair and square. Quit being a sissy excuse maker and give him some deserved credit.

    Oh , and you can change that sig to 'dominated a decade' . Its over:smooch
