Could wladimir still try for a comeback at the title with a tune up fight? I believe if it wasn't for the war in Ukraine it would have happened. I think sadly maybe it is a couple of years too late now
Wladimir is in good shape, but unfortunately it is too late, but deep down I would like to see him in the ring again.
Wladimir Klitschko carved out a great legacy. He got a whole era named after him. The best example of how it’s done is Lennox Lewis. He did his thing and then retired, and stayed retired. Wladimir Klitschko should do the same. Long term decades from now that will reflect a lot more solid on his career.
Apparently he was going to come back in 2020 then the pandemic hit. And then again in 2022. Before the war
Wlad lost his last fight in 2017 and also the fight before that in 2015,we are now knocking on the door for 2025,the best thing for him to do is stay retired !
I think the recent Tyson fight showed the truth of hopes vs reality. Fighters retire for a reason. Best to stay that way.
No one over 40 should make a "comeback". Fighters who stretch beyond 40 while their active might be effective but ill advised. Everybody thinks because Foreman came back it's possible but he was under 40 when he started the comeback, was slow as hell but still had a massive KO punch. And even that barely got him another title. Wlad has a lot of talent but also a glass jaw. No comeback for you.
I just think he’s too old at this point. If he was going to pick a mark, Dubois would be the obvious choice though.
Yes his 49 in march. I think he possibly could of done at at say 46 and broke the record. If there was an opportunity against someone like Dubious then
I honestly do not think wlad today would have a chance against any of the active top15 world ranking boxers .
