    Could Vitali pull a Foreman?

    Foreman's best comeback win by far was a come from behind KO over a chinny ex-LHW who he had a massive size advantage over, at 45 years old.

    If Vitali didn't fancy fighting green Fury a decade ago (hence the Charr retirement fight coming off the 3rd toughest fight of his career against Chisora) he's not going to be any keener at 52. Fury called Vitali out in the dressing room just before he schooled Wlad 7+ years ago and Vitali wasn't interested in avenging his younger brother anymore.

    Too old and has nothing left to prove as a man.

    I think Mr Vitali Klitschko being the Mayor of Kyiv in Ukraine, has a few other more important things on his mind at the present time, rather than Tyson Fury.

    Not really. The tape shows him hitting with two hands from round 1 -12. He was meant to batter Chisoa to a stoppage after getting slapped him pre-fight. Naturally the excuses were rolled out when he failed to get the ko and had a harder night than expected.

    Vitali is having too much fun being mayor of one of the most corrupt cities in the world.

    Vitali like Wlad has lived a straight edge life his entire life and Vitali still does light to moderate training to keep himself in shape. Vitali hasn't boxed in over 10 years so Vitali's body and bones are probably in better condition than when he fought Chisora and Charr.

    Also in case anybody is unaware what "straight edge" means heres a simplified definition; straight edge, subculture affiliated with the hardcore punk scene, followers of which abstain from alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, and “promiscuous” sex. Some also abstain from caffeine or follow a vegan or vegetarian diet.

    Vitali has nothing left to prove and is too old anyway.
    He would've beaten the crap out of Fury, Wilder, Joshua and Usyk in his prime.

    Look how calm Fury is here. Proper fighter. The klits normally send Vitali to do an intimidation job. No chance he looks like an old man.

    Is there no statute of limitations on emeritus status?
