    Saw a photo on their FB site with him posing in front of Schwarzenegger and he still looks like he could fight tomorrow.

    And recently when asked about a comeback, he stated 'You never know'

    Is he planning a comeback?

    A Wilder squareoff?

    Quick easy way to snag a belt

    Wlad is finished. He was shot even before he lost to Fury. Wlad needs to stay retired.

    I think he should stay retired and I've been a fan since the late 90s. That said, if he wants a farewell vs some lesser name then I'd say okay.

    Not this time. Wlad was shot to pieces as far back as Jennings.

    Agreed. Whoever thinks he can beat Wilder at this stage of his career is an idiot.

    You saw his last fight, right? He had Joshua down and almost out. 9 times out of 10 Joshua gets stopped there.

    Really probs in the top 5 - 10 if he did make a comeback.

    Some of those names people had in their HW top 10 Wlad would smash to bits with out breaking a sweat..

    He is far from shot but no no where near his peak...

    Shot is Haye and Wlad was nothing like that...

    In saying this its time for him to move on to the next stage of his life.. His final fight he came close to being a champ again..

    Wlad was shot against Jennings. Shot against Tyson Fury and shot against AJ.

    When a fighter puts in 3 shopworn very shot performances it’s time to hang them up.

    I know you want to believe the old Wlad is coming back, but he isn’t.

    Yet Joshua wasn't stopped. Wladimir is finished. He has the skills, but doesn't have the age and stamina to back it up.

    Because Joshua is so overrated and so is Fury . 35 yo wlad beats them both and beats Fury more easy than british robot juishua.

    Vlad could have stopped Joshua is the 7th round if Vitali had not told him to just take his time and just box him. Hell, nobody can say anything bad about Vlad is that fight, it was hell for both, Vlad was ahead on points, if Emanuel Steward had been there Joshua would have been knocked out! Vitali wants to fight Joshua ASAP, but he is mayor of Kiev, so doubt if he can find the time..................he has to keep an eye on Trump and Putin...................they got rid of Yanukovich and Manafort.............................
