Will we see Fury-Klitschko 2

  2. Maybe. If the money is right and Wlad looks bad enough.

    7.7%
  3. There is a better choice for a big money fight (please specify).

    7.7%
  4. Wlad would not accept the fight.

    7.7%
  5. Come on...Fury wants no part of Wlad.

    38.5%
  6. Fury will not make it to one defense before he goes back off the rails.

    It just occurred to me. It is traditional for a new champ to take a voluntary big-money match against some aging former champ or notable.

    That guy would be Wlad Klitschko.

    Vitali would not come back at this point. Parker and Martin are not big money names. Briggs, Chagaev, and Peter are too old and shot to be credible. He hates Haye, who is also not credible at this point anyway. The ONLY guy out there fitting the bill would be Wlad.

    And, of course, it is unfinished business. Critics will say that he was none-to-enthusiastic about getting back in the ring with Wladdy before, but three years have passed, and Wlad's one foray into the ring was another loss.

    For his part, Wlad has said that the door is open.

    Can we see this happening?

    I would legitimately be interested in seeing it, even now.
    Yeah Wlad is older but fury has also aged his body prematurely.

    So if they fought, the result would still be relevant to the discussion

    Would Wlad fall for that one again? Last time out Wlad was inactive for 18 months due to Fury's antics, so if he really wants to come back, I doubt it will be against him.
    I agree with the last 4 options

    MatchRoom team along with Wlad's team are very VERY busy today. Planting the seeds I see.

    Wlad can always request a bond or whatever the legal procedure is.

    Wlad never deserved a rematch with Fury.
    Rematches clauses are bad for boxing. When a champion gets totally taken to school by a challenger, he needs to get back in line and earn a shot.
    Of course, if the fight was close or competitive, a champion can have his rematch. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.
