Eagerly watching the Dubois vs Parker fight... He is geared up to take on the winner, and at 49 become the oldest heavyweight champ in history. I personally think either one of those fighters would be a step too far for him and if he really wants to get a "world" championship and actually win, just spank Pulev again for the WBA regular belt.. I actually don't know who Klitschko would rather face out of the two combatants Saturday though; I would say DDD is the chinnier of the two ...
My god, rankings are such an insubstantial joke these days, and have been for quite a while. Anyone with any kind of notoriety who can possibly generate a few bucks automatically can be a contender, no climbing up the ladder involved. I know that this is nothing new in boxing, but in our day it's so in your face and obvious that it is ridiculous.
Hey if he wins, then maybe we can make a fight with Foreman and the winner fights Jake Paul More nonsense!
Wlad shuould've tried this in his mid not late 40s. Like most boxers, the itch to get back in the ring never completely leaves. Maybe they need to establish a more or less official Senior Circuit for these older fighters? I could see Wlad becoming a champ in that.
I suppose. But as for the rest it's never happening. I mean if it did by a one in a trillion chance Wlad would be the best heavyweight of all time for me.
Wlad gives the impression of being an intelligent man, I seriously doubt he 's dumb enough to think he can still fight, But, if he needs the money?
This. In his prime he would have cleaned both these guys up but right now fighting them is only gonna make Dino happy.
Would need a tune-up against Pulev soon and see how he does. Pulev is active but I don't see Pulev now doing too much damage to a 49 year old Wlad even if Wlad loses.
Yeah, Pulev is a mid gatekeeper at best, that is old and vulnerable - as soon as he goes against someone that can crack, he will retire straight away. He has some technical ability and experience but has mediocre power and chin is probably cooked now.
Who cares.. he's ancient now. Joshua and fury took care of him nearly a decade ago. Shouldn't he be more concerned with fighting in the war he's always propagandisilzng?
