    Wlad shouldn't return. If he DOES come back, he'd better tune up vs a hand picked opponent. (Mark deMori?). If he looks good, then move up the ladder and beat up someone like that stiff Hrgovic.

    Haye and Povetkin have also said they want one more...could be a rematch there for him.

    Just as long as its not fought under the auspices of the IBA...

    I really don't want to see it. He was boring during his prime. And I can't stand the twat that he has always been.

    Man I really hope that he doesn't. He will have slowed down a lot by now and I don't fancy his ho-hum chin against the monster punchers that are walking around. Worst case is he gets beaten by some utter stiff and then we have to sit through months of the usual suspects saying that he was never any good and how the comeback version was actually better than the prime Wlad :facepalm:

    You folks are wild if you don't think he could take out Pulev to grab the WBA belt

    He could yes. So got to be the perfect tune up. Would it sell though?

    He would be a damned fool if he does. He was all but manhandled by AJ the last time, and AJs been ran through by everyone in the division since then and is widely considered to be soft.
    What on earth would Klitschko do in there against one of the real killers of the division?
    If he wants to go out there and get Robert Heleniesed by Wilder for one last payday, I guess. God bless him

    Yeah forgot about Pulev. Even ancient Wlad ought to be able to replicate his previous win. Maybe we see him beat up the remains of Briggs. I'd hate to see him against a guy like Zhang though.

    I doubt he comes back just to make a fortune and get massive attention on an Arab show.
    People forget just a few years ago he was in combat gear holding an assault rifle and promising to defend Kiev.
    The only reason he hasn't been out east fighting for Ukraine is that he's waiting for the Russians to make it to Kiev so he can be let out of his cage against them.
    There's no way a patriot like that would leave the country at this crucial stage of the war just to live the rich celebrity athlete lifestyle etc.
