    Been teasing a comeback on twitter. Asking fans what they think of him against Wilder, AJ and Fury. He's forty-three now. Surely he just had a few jars at home and got excited?? I'd hate to see him come back now. He'd be forty-four by the time he fought.

    Rumour keeps resurfacing, but no I don't want to see 44 year old vlad. He had his time.

    If he was going to announce a comeback he should’ve done it a year ago when DAZN etc were throwing around stupid money. Sure he’ll still get paid now, but probably only about half of what he could have made.

    He doesn't like Fury and wants to protect Joshua. I think the Fury defeat is still playing on his mind.

    Yep he's absolutely haunted by that, think he could just about stomach losing to someone closer to his own media-friendly image (ie Joshua)

    He's defo coming back.

    When he's not liking tweets by fellow illuminati members Arnie, and Quincy Jones, he is liking tweets from fans talking about him breaking the record for oldest heavyweight champion.

    If Wlad can get anywhere near the level he was for the AJ fight he would beat Wilder or a spent Fury.

    Despite everything he’s achieved, there’s obviously still an ego there and these tweets every few months just gets his name back in the headlines. We all want to feel relevant but Klitschko last won a fight in April 2015 and looked terrible in the process

    He's not going to get anywhere near that level.

    And the line through Fury suggests prime Vlad would not have coped with Wilder.

    Wladimir never dealt well with guys who went in there and threw the kitchen sink at him. There's no question he could ice Wilder early. However, I don't think any version of Wlad deals well with a Wilder swarm.

    The theory that Wilder couldn’t last in sparring with Wlad is far more near the truth.

    Are you referring to his loss against Sanders?

    I take sparring stories with a pinch of salt. Maybe they are true, maybe not, but I take evidence from actual fights that we can see.

    Like Wlad v Wilder?

    What line are you reading into thinking Wlad couldn’t cope with Wilder through Fury?
