    Having read all the comeback rumours about wlad. Klitschko I wondered if it was similar when Lewis retired. Or has there been more rumours in wlads cause?

    Yeah it was very similar...Wlad went out on a loss in a close fight and Lewis bust Vitali's face open in a close fight...so even there last fights are similar in a way.

    Same goes for the living legend Mike Tyson, there was so many rumours he was making another comeback.

    There was a percpetion that the HW scene had declined and that getting Lewis back in the picture could revitalise it. Yes there were rumours, nothing concrete but occasionally speculation over a massive proposed purse for a Vitali rematch to entice him back. Not sure if there was ever real substance behind them but it never happened as we know.

    Wlad would be one of the least likely comebacks. He's loaded, he's very intelligent, there's loads of other things he can do. I see no reason at all for him to come back.

    Maybe cause his still looking for a signature fight? Can the Joshua one be classed as this as it was a loss?

    Except Vitali was promised a rematch by Lewis but never got it. Instead he sat on the sidelines and rooted HARD for Johnson and Sanders to pull off miracles before officially calling it a day. Lol

    And That “Living Legend” Tyson’s last fight wasn’t exactly close like those other two. McBride sat Mike down on those ropes in a ****ing heap! :lol: Beaten into submission.

    He's been teasing about his comeback on multiple occasions. Whether it's just a cry for attention or not, we're about to find out. I think he should stay retired but I'm pretty sure he will come back.

    Not finishing Joshua when he had him gone probably haunts him.

    Wlad is like Floyd now. Just wants attention.

    Man, I would love to see him back but against lesser opposition.
    Wlad vs Charr and the likes would be lots of fun.

    MMA has one thing right; old guys often keep going but against fellow old timers.
