In my humble opinion Wladimir Klitschko retired too soon he still had plenty to give

    He might have had more to give but that last fight was tough and chances are he could have won but could have also been knocked out, and at his age he didn't want to be hit that hard or have to be in that tough of fights. I think it was a matter of the toughness of the fights and not the winning, which he could have won but it was maybe 50/50 and that probably made him figure, it is just too much to deal with at his age. For what cost?

    I'm just glad that someone as famous as dinovelvet (the BN24 nightclub owner) has shed some insight into this guy Vladimir Klitschko (the multi millionaire, multi title winning, HOF bound former HW champion of the world) who no one has ever heard of.. If only you could have taught him how to box or throw an acceptable straight right hand then who knows how things might have panned out! He may have become as rich, successful & as famous as you!

    He retired at the right time. After a fantastic fight, too.

    Agree with all of that.

    Klitschko is a terrible style matchup for Wilder. Joshua has physicality which is needed against Wlad due to his, what some might say, negative safety first approach. Wilder wouldn't get past the jab.
