    Great new interview with Wladimir. He is asked about a potential comeback and doesn’t rule it out but does say that he will not fight his fellow countryman Usyk as it would send the wrong message. Enjoy.

    Still in great shape, but I must admit, he does look his age. In fact, I think Vitali might look the younger man at this point.

    Good video. From his answer I don't think the comeback will happen.

    Same. I think that had the war not happened he probably would have a few years back before Usyk became champ.

    The wrong message of being knocked the **** out in front of everybody.

    Seriously! Look at boxing history. The track record of aging greats who come back to fight their successors is not a good one! Marciano-Lous; Holmes-Ali anyone?

    Maybe a misunderstanding? I meant that Usyk would put Wlad to sleep faster than he blinks.

    So from your perspective Wlad does even worse than Louis and Ali in their comebacks. I can't argue with that!!

    To start with, Louis and Ali are better than Wlad. To continue, Wlad is 48 while ali and joe louis were 37 and 38.

    Yes, I would say that it is very likely that he would do even worse.

    If he came back and beat Pulev, that makes him a champion at 48, yeah? A regular champion, but hey, he's a regular guy..
