    Tell me what W Klitschko can do to win? Fans and non fans opinions

    Wlad is getting on in years now and has had a long career and I guess possibly near the end.
    Many say he is a great champ and others dont rate him.

    He has travelled and fought in many different countries, not ducked a challenge that I know of.

    What does he need to do to win people over.

    Some say they would like him to face Wilder but if he was to beat Wilder, it would then suddenly not be a good win as Wilder would be untested and never in with anyone like Wlad. If he lost to Wilder it would be forgotten tha hes at the end of his career and Wilder would be the best thing since sliced bread, but Wilder is not going after Wlad and going after the winner of the WBC fight.

    So what should Wlad do?
    He has good wins over HW champs Haye, Byrd, Peter, Chagaev, Ibragimov and wins over world rated former champs and top 10 comp. His resume is good.

    You can never win everyone over. Wlad is rated in the top 5 of almost every p4p list. He fights in front of large crowds, and he makes a ton of money. It looks like he's won over everyone he needs to win over.

    Simple. With his huge size advantage, he should be brutally KO'ing all comers, and giving the fans a better show. He needs a killer instinct. Instead of just playing it safe for extra rounds like he always does. Then I'd give a crap about his fights.

    he should fight pulev. beat him then stiverne. and then wilder/fury as a way to retire.

    pulev is decent as his stiverne.
    wilder and fury although both limited are dangerous and big.

    He did this earlier in his career. Was aggressive and went for quick ko's and he got beat.
    Wlad fights the way he does because it works for him.
    Not exciting but gets results

    Face only the biggest (and baddest) opponents because it's ugly to watch him win mainly by using his size advantage.

    More people in the world watch Wlad's fights than any other boxer. In Germany alone 9 million watch him fight.

    Dan Rafael @danrafaelespn
    Klitschko-Leapai was a soldout arena about 3 weeks before the fight. And did 9M viewers on German network RTL.

    Dan Rafael @danrafaelespn
    When Klitschko pulls those kind of numbers on German TV AND sells out arenas and stadiums why should he fight elsewhere?

    wlads pretty much fully defined now, weak H2H, good longevity, great role model. Hes not going to be able to change things at the age of 37, wont feel inclined to and moreover no one will change their view of him at this stage.

    He's not going to win some people over with that style, full stop. People don't like his style and that's that. He shouldn't try to change it, it's his style.

    Beating the best heavies top 5 ranked guys only, would be really impressive. If he did that from here on in I think he'd win a lot of fans.

    He needs to just continue to win, and history will vindicate him.

    odd that you would say that, given that if black champions of the past were white they are the ones who would receive more recognition,.

    do what lewis did too ruddock,golota,botha,grant and even slightly on a lesser scale, briggs and morrison.

    go out and ko these people with pure aggression and confidence in the first few rounds.

    or be in a few dogfights and prevail as lewis did to klitchko and mercer.

    oh ye and beyond everything although its not possible anymore, revenge your loses.
