    Coming back at 45 is a lot more palatable an idea when you a) haven't always been chinny and b) had a rough war past the age of 40 already precipitating a several year layoff and c) have to go it alone with the coach who guided you up the mountaintop having passed away. None of those factors applied to Big George.

    lol! Usyk looks a lot quicker than Wlad did v Fury, he`s 11 years older than Usyk.

    Of course Usyk still is more agile and fast than were these boxers in the ring vs A.J : old Povetkin, sorry for reality, with not good legs anymore, then Wlad 41 y.o out of retirement and also these : Takam, Whyte and for sure Pulev 39 y.o version too.

    They all were slow vs A.J.

    Ruiz Jr? Fast hands even not worse than prime Usyk, very slow legs. Parker? Younger and fresh, larger than Usyk and heavier, there yeah, too not easy night hometown tickets seller had in the office vs this Parker and cool hometown kid won, how correct business had been done there.
    LoL.

    I'd also add that there's no far smaller and more vulnerable HW champion like Moorer available. He could come back and whoop Charr easily in Germany and by doing so TECHNICALLY win a world title again. Would probably do reasonably well considering it's home base and the general public at large seems to have a penchant now for farcical sideshow attractions. But I think he's not coming back unless it's a true mega fight. That wouldn't be able to get the juices flowing and the mountain would only feel like a small hill. He could get more out of sparring than beating up Charr.

    What are you talking about? He or anyone *could* be using. And if he did cycles before, that could have permanently improved his ability to put on muscle even off gear.

    But there is zero evidence he DID juice. So it is not fair or rational to assume he did.

    Understand that his size was never beyond what someone with his height & bone structure could accomplish naturally.
    Muscle is also relatively easy to maintain, or get back due to muscle memory.

    Also he has very low body fat in this photo, which accentuates muscle.
    I am no athlete, older than Wlad, with a smaller skeleton, & there are many natural guys who got bigger than me.
    In some photos you may think I was on PEDs, & if I ever got down to that body fat %, I'll bet you would insist I did use.
    Although as a matter of principle I would never even take Creatine, let alone any PEDs.

    Check with any serious lifters. Ask them if it is impossible to get that size & give them Wlad's bone structure dimensions.
    You have no idea what is possible-& there is often overlap between juicers & natural guys.
    At no points in his career did Wlad have enough muscle to compete at any untested body building level-nor was his strength what juicers could attain.

    Now if he was like say Ronnie Coleman & was under both 6' & 5% body fat at 300 lbs., or anywhere near that weight....
    YES, that would be evidence of juicing.

    He said he could come back only to beat Foremans record. The problem is that now the titles are in the hands of the two fighters who defeated him before his retire. Besides...those fighters have improved their skills meanwhile. I think with Wilder and Usyk he would have more chances from old but it will be very hard even for them to become world champions and therefore face him.

    Yeah.

    Of course.

    This does not changes stuff for me: both: A.J and Fury are just average boxers if compare with prime Wlad.

    Agreed and I would also add with middle Wlad. However I strongly doubt someone among AJ and Fury will be able to reign for more than 3 or 4 years in the division since today.

    He would need a comeback to get rid of the ring rust.

    It took Foreman 4 years of feeding off of tomato cans and staying in the gym before he was ready for an elite Holyfield.

    Even Moorer was handily beating him before he ran out of chin.
