    A legend like Wlad shouldn't leave the sport on the back of two losses. Even at the age of almost 48 I think Wlad could pull off a big George Foreman Wlad has always been a gym rat and has never ballooned in weight or abused drugs and alcohol. I would put my life savings on Wlad with a 12 week training camp disposing of a Manuel Charr and breaking Foreman's record in the process. Thoughts?

    The best part of Fury Usyk is when Vitali and Wlad walk side by side with Usyk to the ring

    Then Fury stands centre ring and stares all three of them down and calls them bum dossers with mean intentions.

    This is assuming Usyk walks 2nd which is unlikely. Instead fury will enter the ring and be greeted by 2 robots and a middleweight trying to intimidate him into giving up his WBC belt without a fight.

    I think you missed an opportunity to discredit Wilder here.

    Fury just embarrassed the HW Division and the sport of boxing with his last performance.

    Hopefully, he gets his shiite together and acts as a professional in his next bout.

    It's one thing to act like a clown when you are on top. It's another thing to act like a clown and then fight like one.

    Fury was so mentally broken he wouldn’t rematch Wlad and faked injuries to get out of it :lol:

    Foreman became THE champion when he beat Moorer. Wlad beating Charr to "break" that record would be an utter disgrace to boxing. It would be nonsenical trash that perfectly demonstrates why boxing lost so much relevance to UFC. Wlad still wouldn't be pulling a Foreman, because Foreman let his head get pounded on for round after round after round to score a come from behind knockout. Wlad would never do that. I mean, he wouldn't decide to do it on purpose and he isn't capable of doing it by accident. My thoughts on this are mostly negative. Although if he dethroned Fury fair and square or had he done it with Wilder when he had the title, I would have cheered for him. And that isn't to say coming out of retirement and fighting anyone of the vague relevance of an at least active Charr, minus the thought of giving the title any credence whatsoever, is completely meaningless or not his right to do, but talking it up as being "Champion" and beating Foreman's magnificent upset, would be cheap, bogus, unbecoming of his legacy in general, and horrible for boxing, by itself, should it not turn into actually winning a title that doesn't come in a European happy meal.

    I agree. I'll bet it has seriously crossed his mind recently.

    I don't think Wlad and Vitali will be there?

    He's just fantasizing, but it might be pretty cool. It won't happen
