    I think he should go on and go for most title defenses. Probably can also snag oldest champ too if he matches himself carefully enough when he's like 46.

    I actually agree.

    And I was once upon a time a Fury hater.

    But the kid has loads of heart, and I think he'll win or go out on his shield.

    Hopefully he hangs around if he loses. That talk of not being able to beat a 40 yo man who's clearly faded is trash.

    Tony Thompson is a 44 yo man, and clearly faded, but you dont see Price hanging em up, and he's since been thrashed again.

    Fury WILL be a HW champion in the post K2 era. He just needs to keep his wits about him.:think

    He won't fight until he is 46. He would break the title defenses record by 42 (at his current pace).

    He'd have to vacate several of his titles to break Foremans record.

    He'd need a lot of soft touches to go on that long.

    Theres no chance Wlad can beat Parker or Joshua. :nono

    In 2-3 years if they fought, Wlad would still probably be the betting favorite over both of them.

    The pre-Corrie Sanders Wlad......

    He'd beat them both.

    The 2006-2012 Wlad would be Lewis/Bruno with Wlad playing the role of Lewis.

    Ive been a fan of his since his Olympic Gold in Atlanta.

    But I can't see him beating Joshua or Parker. Not even if he fought them next. :think

    Why should Wlad break linage by retiring? He should lose the title in the ring and someone takes over the lineage from him.

    Fury is going to be dominated, made to look foolish and knocked the hell out. no other outcome possible. then I would like to see him KO Wilder. and if he should choose to fight on or retire I will applaud either avenue.

    Fury, Wilder ... at least take care of these two. Then, family time.

    This. Wlad still enjoys fighting. He will retire when he wants to. 2015/16 will be huge years for Wlad. After that he'll see how he feels and take it from there.

    I am a big fan of Vlad, but he needs to retire, he is 39 years old and he fights like a 39 year old, I hope Fury beats him.
