    If Klitchko does make a comeback and fights wilder, (if Fury takes Hearn on his offer) I think most will agree that Klitchko will win uncomfortably. Now that would be great for Klitchko's legacy making that comback. But how bad will that be for the heavyweight scene?

    Agree fully. But i do believe he beats wilder and then just retires. Imagine what that will do to his legacy. When was the last time a heavyweight won all the belts? As klitchko fan I'm all for it. As a boxing fan not so sure. Now imagine this. Fury takes hearn on his offer. Klitchko comesback against wilder. The winners fight each other....ah one can only hope

    I'd back Wlad to beat anyone at HW apart from AJ and Usyk.

    If Wlad beat Wilder it wouldn't be bad for the HW scene. I would back all of AJ, Povetkin, Whyte, and Parker to beat Wilder. Maybe even Miller, Joyce and Hunter too.

    What is bad for the HW scene is for a champion to keep fighting inactive out of shape fighter likes Wilder has done in Fury, Ortiz, Stiverne and Arreola etc.

    He would be risking losing in a devastating fashion — not very good for his legacy. :smile:
    And his health as well...
