Klitschko sparring photos

Just because a car looks good, it doesn't mean it will perform. Who knows what is under the bonnet??

I'm 41 In a few weeks. I still train Judo and I assure you it is WAY more difficult to recover and perform, despite looking similar

Granted I'm a bum and not an A star athlete, but wlad nearly has 10 years on me. I don't care how physically superior he has, or what sport science is available, it will be difficult to beat any top guy now.

If he wins a title it will reflect badly on the division right now

 

Klitschko vs Wilder would be bonkers. Wilder is 39 and did not win a single round in his last 2 fights. And the last time he; won a round, a fight, and hurt someone - was in 2022 against Helenius.

 

This. 100%.

 

Or maybe Paul will pay $50M to Klitschko and then knock him out.

 

I think I remember him saying that he wanted to come back and beat Foreman's record as the oldest heavyweight champion of the world but don't quote me on that lol
If he's as in as good as shape as these photos depict then, well it could either be a good thing or a very bad thing for the sport, depending on who he fights and the result.
I'd like to see Klitschko vs AJ 2 or even vs Fury 2, would be entertaining if nothing else.

 

Hope is an exhibition and nothin more...

 

Hope he lays out Dillian Whyte in a winner take all match.

 

He will always look in tremendous shape as he is a gym fanatic. I haven’t seen the pics, but what I really want to see is some footage of this sparring. That will tell us if he is still at all sharp or not.

I'd be down to see him fight Wilder, Briggs, Jake Paul, Pulev, or Whyte tbh. I think those would all be pretty fun and winnable fights for him against similarly decrepit or middling opposition. Briggs would be a fun build-up and would put to rest that whole thing where Shannon harassed Wlad for a few months. Wilder is the fight everyone wanted a decade ago and would be a nice ending for either guy to prove they could have beaten the other in their pomp. And Jake Paul was getting lit up by Nate Diaz, Wlad would actually murder him with his right cross and put to rest the idea that Jake is in any way a decent boxer.

 

Fury Klitscko 2

 

I'd like to see that fight.

Klitschko really doesn't like Fury. Fury got under Klitschko's skin durring the run up to the fight and then ran and hid, avoiding a rematch.

Klitschko was old then and ancient now but I think we would actually see Vlad try to hurt Fury.

 

This is what happens when an old fighter says I just couldn't get off. Their brain sees the opening but their body doesn't react quick enough to go there.

 

If Wlad comes back after retiring almost eight years ago it will just be for ego and money nothing else,he lost his last two fights convincingly with the last fight being a stoppage loss. Many were saying he was an old tired fighter back then and now he’s going to come back at his age and like I say after an almost 8 year lay off and compete for belts ! His last two fights where Fury and Joshua who were a lot younger than him and even those two are on the decline now. Wlad needs to stay retired with his good health and legacy intact,if he does come back and fight again at some point he could well suffer a nasty reality check .

 

I'd love to see him take down Jake Paul. Paul would never accept a fight with Klitschko though, despite Klitschko fitting the general age range of opponents he prefers. Jake makes sure he almost always has a size advantage over his opponents. He lost the one time he fought someone of similar size (and age). Klitschko is 6'6" and looks about 250 lbs; he would absolutely dwarf Jake Paul.

Just look how tiny Jake looks between Ngannou and his MMA opponent:
