    Could Wladimir Klitschko pick up a strap in this heavyweight division?

    No. He would probably beat THIS version of Fury but facing somebody like Zhang would be dangerous for his life

    He'll be 48 in March so no chance.

    Nah, he's no old Foreman.

    Not many can have a genuine 2.0 career and span different decades.

    What Formeman 2.0 had is that he could still take a heavyweight punch when he came back. He always had power and we all know that's the last to go. He was slow as hell, but in heavyweight if you can take a punch and still have power, you always have a chance.

    Klitschko rarely showed one-punch power, or if he did have it he became too tentative to use it. All because of the fact he didn't have the best chin. I wouldn't say he had a glass chin, but his punch resilience was not the best. Throw in the fact that his recovery when hurt was horrible. I would give him zero chance to be able to create a Klitschko 2.0.

    Vitali would have a much better chance at a 2.0 version than Wladimir.

    Hey… A Great Value version of Sam Peter just barely lost to his old Nemesis… why not! Lol ONLY if Fury offers him a shot. Against the other guys… I don’t think it’s a good idea. At all. Usyk would treat Wlad way worse than he did in sparring

    Wlad has not the same genetics of Foreman. Almost impossible.

    if he let his hands go he brutally ko's any version of Fury. This is why Fury blatantly ducked the contracted rematch and threw away years of his prime to achieve the duck.

    At that age you’re gonna take be taking a large amount of hits. Foreman had an unreal chin that allowed him to hang in really tough fights. I doubt Wlad could take a heavyweight punch at 48.
