    Wlad is old with far too much ring rust, and if Parkers chin is compromised what would you call Wlads?

    Why is the Wladster getting all this attention all of a sudden?

    I still hope that all this fuss about Wladimir's return is some kind of promotional campaign or something like that.
    I don't want to see another great champion from the past get beaten or lose badly because he suddenly comes up with a stupid idea to come back.
    I don't know how Vladimir's business developed there, but I hope he is not tempted by the idea of earning Saudi dollars.
    Vlad is almost 50 years old. It is simply impossible for his attributes to still be at the same level as at the end of his career. It would be good if he could still get 80-85% of his form from the fight with Anthony, and what about prime...
    And 80% of that form is certainly not a good enough situation to enter the ring with the top of the heavyweight division and names such as Parker, Dubois or Fury.

    Anyway, let's make an appointment. In order for such a comeback not to be considered a joke, Władek should first present himself in the ring with someone from a lower level and if he looked exceptionally good in such a fight, one could start to assume such topics.

    Vlad held up very well for a long time and probably a few years ago such a comeback would even make sense in sporting terms, but now?
    Wlad is keeping in shape, but recently, during the Fury vs Usyk fight, his age was already visible. He's not the giant athlete of old anymore.

    Id say 80% of the Klitschko that fought Joshua would be enough.

    But what makes you think 80 per cent of that is available 8 years later?

    Hmm. I dont know. 80% of Klitschko from Joshua is 70% of Klitschko in Prime (Imo Wlad peak was from Chagaev, Haye fight- time when he was in 100% athlete mode, he got massive expirence already, and off course he got Emanuel Stweard in corner).
    Parker got very good time right now. Wlad probably would be much slower and much worse reflex. I dont seing him eating shots from Parker because he is too slow to avoid it.

    Off course Wlad was massive puncher soo if his power is still there he can KO Parker but end of the day Parker chin is pretty damn solid and he survive with 2 bigger punchers last time. Much Younger.

    I dont see it. We even dont know how Klitschko move right now. In this age he can look awfull. Its not about muscles and nice body because this You can have even longer. Its about Your body reaction time and other.

    Wlad is 50, he's nowhere near 80% of his last fight.

    Of course a prime Wlad beats Parker, but 50 year old HWs simply can't fight at an elite level anymore. Didn't anyone watch 58 year old Mike Tyson a month ago?

    Wlad would obviously have a small puncher's chance, but by far the most likely outcome would be a Parker stoppage - either Wlad's chin is cracked (it never was that great) or he gets gassed out.

    Klitschko has thrown a smoke bomb into the room and it worked .
    Forums and social media are wildly speculating , his name is living rent free in the heads of his fans again . Probably some dollars are flowing from marketing and advertizing .

    its not about truly fighting dubois or parker , Klitschko is not stupid .
