    He would need a tuneup before fighting AJ or Fury.

    I don't know. He lost to Hopkins in one of those Calzhage-Lacy, Barera-Naseem, Usyk-Gassiev, Broner-Maidona humiliations that was suppossed to be a close fight, and ended up being an exposure. To date, the only fighter I have ever seen recover from one of those was Toney after the Jones fight. We will see how Wilder does.

    I don't think Pavlik will ever be psychologically the same.

    Wlad's too old to fight anyone who's not similarly old. Other than Wilder because power's the last thing to go and Wilder has no dimensionality to his game at all. Wlad could put him away. But he can forget about AJ or Fury

    He'd have a chance of bursting Alvarez's bubble too.

    Is there a different David Tua that I’m not familiar with?

    People have been counting Balboa out since before his first fight with Apollo. That guy always seems to have one more big fight left in him.

    Ward but what about Lennox? That right hand could get him a quick win or two before he might have to go rounds and that would mean retirement again.

    I have no doubt whatsoever that Lennox Claudius Lewis, the pugilist specialist, could come out of retirement at 54 years of age and beat a few of these guys.

    His right hand could do damage to anyone, but if it went a few rounds his age would really hurt him and he would retire again. I remember Hearns would have good fights when he got older when he ended it early, but if he didn't they were tough tough fights.

    Lewis has no chance, he is too much out of shape. He obviously is way slimmer and lost plenty of muscle mass.
    Just don`t see it.
    Wladimir is keeping himself in great shape, but he was too old in his last fights, and now will be worst, more speed, explosiveness, energy/cardio, footwork will be gone, power as well.

    Andre Ward is the obvious one.

    Wlad could definitely still make some noise.
