    Given that from announcing a fight it's usually 3 months till the fight. I just don't see it happening again this year. Seemed more movement to the rumours though late last year.

    Just another cog in heavyweight drama, in there's always a retired legend teasing a comeback. I remember Lennox returning being a headline every few years. His price was £100 mil I believe though back then!

    Wlad has aged out Fury and AJ so he can try to get his revenge over faded versions of them both.

    Briggs' wet dream. I think Briggs is fighting the bum butcher Chris Lovejoy in April so if Briggs let the cannon go left and right on the bum breaker, then I'd like to see Briggs-Klitschko.

    I hope Wlad is too smart to try comeback in this age.
    Today in top 10 hw we got pretty strong and dangerous fighters.
    There is not easy fight fight now on highest level. A special when You are 50 years old and lost your last 2 fights almost 10 years ago...

    Briggs Vs Klitschko would be good. Wlad should not return to fight any active, ranked fighter though.

    Wlad should be too smart to do it (against anyone decent not in their 40s), but the problem is he's an egomaniac and loves all that 'conceive believe achieve' TEDtalk lifestyle.

    Personally I'd like to see him come back against Pulev and get KO'd by jabs, but Zhang KO'ing him would be sort of funny too.

    Ideally he'd come back against Povetkin and get KO'd but Povetkin was witch-hunted out of boxing existence, so that one must be dead.

    I hope Klitschko dont try do it for money. He earn good money in his career but we dont know how his business work after boxing.
    And Saudi pay many $$$
    There is not many people who would not smile to idea of add 10-15 millions to wallet.

    But now there is absolutley 0 chance that Wlad can win belts. Maybe with Pulev he got chance but he is not in position to choose with who he gonna fight.
    Hope that Frank Warren and Dubois dont give him chance because that will be big shame see that happend. And rumors saying that they speak about fight like that before...
    That's should never happend.

    If Wlad want boxing again soo bad let him first show what he have vs some guy like Arreola for example. Maybe fight with Franklin who got no power to destroy him bad.
    But dont go to any dangerous fight without showing us You still can do smth on good level because it is CRIMINAL.

    We cannot blame him . After klitschko saw that thanks to the ukraine war hype and maybe some european union money even a heavyweight with just 5 hw fights on his counter gets an undisputed shot he decided to also milk the global situation for personal benefit .

    That possibility had a short shelf life that has expired.

    If a pre-Steward Vlad had retired but still kept in shape and sparred regularly he may have a shot. That version of him was throwing nukes from round 1. If the belts splintered post Usyk, he may be able to grab one.

    A jab, box, huge right hand version of Klitschko is way too old now.

    Nah because he would have still aged by this point. The style doesn't matter at this point he is too far gone.
