Klitschko is 39 and will be 40 next year march, after 3 monthes. He showed no heart last night, and was very slow. In other words... thanks Wlad but you need to retire. Your time is over now, you are soon 40.
he cant beat someone like fury who knows how to use his height and reach well. stewards style is not going to work for him any more. he needs to become a complete fighter. at this stage of his career can he change his style completely? shi- worked for him for almost 11 years. if i was him i would take my millions and retire into the sunset
I always disliked watching their safety-first style, so I was glad to see Fury defeat Klitschko. But I don't want to see Wlad take a bad beating. So few retire at the right time.
He should retire, there is no shame in getting old and knowing when to quit. The signs were there in the Jennings fight. I had him losing 5 rounds to Jennings and in that fight his jab was non-existent, he should have taken the hint and retired then but like most champions he hung on for too long and lost to an inferior fighter. He's rich, has established a solid legacy through years of domination, he is now married and has a baby girl. Time he hangs them up, I can't see what he could do differently in a rematch, he simply wasn't in the fight.
Ironically it was a safety first style that eventually dethroned him. I think he could continue fighting if he wanted to, but whats the point fighting at a lower level when you've fought at the pinnacle of the sport.
I think he will retire. He had a wonderful and ATG career, but it is time for the new heavyweight generation to take over. Last night Wlad looked worse then I had ever seen him and I think he will hang up his gloves soon.
Klitschko can fight as long as he wants to. But the longer he fights, the closer he gets to his own version of McBride-Tyson or Camacho-Leonard...
