Hopefully soon. He would do the sport a huge favour. He must be the most boring heavyweight champion in the history of the sport. He has not been in a competitive fight since 10 years. And before that only a couple of his fights were entertaining.WInning fights amd hardly beaks a sweat, that is not boxing. Terrible to watch. And plus, the division is at its worst ever. Watch out for Wlad-Thompson III if Thompson keeps this up.
How is it Wlad's fault if Thompson gets another fight by actually beating people and earning it? :huh Wilder is about to get a title fight and has beat absolutely NOBODY. I assume Wilder needs to retire and do the sport a huge favor?
If Wilder wins the WBC title, which I give him a 60% punchers chance, then Wlad will fight him, unify once again, then make one or two defense, drop the belts, and just fight $$$$ fights vs the likes of Haye, Fury, Briggs, Charr etc.:think
Briggs, Charr this sounds terrible...nobody wants to see that crap. In fact, I haven't watched Wlad's fights lives since some time now.
There is no hope of ending the Steelhammer's reign. Too powerful. It's only natural that the toilers would resent his rule and hope for a hero to emerge from the plaza with the check cashing and discount liquor stores to usurp the doctor's throne, however.
Doesn't matter. The HW division has been dead for the last 10 years, and will still be dead when the current champions retire. It might be another 10 years before the divison see any real new talent emerge.
It matters. Everybody wants to see competitive and exciting heavyweight title fights. Not this crap we saw again last saturday .
I think you will be very disappointed. Wlad will continue to dominate crap fighters like Windmiller, Fury and more of that level. If you want to see competitive fights, just hope they'll fight each other before facing Wlad.
I love HW fights, but haven't seen one since Ibeabuchi Vs Tua. I fear that there is no real talent in the HW division and the B level fighters today are being managed to build up false records and just position for pay days. It may be another 4-5 Olympics before a new real talent emerges and cleans up the riff-raff that is presently smelling up the HW landscape.
You obviously haven't been watching the Olympics either as the Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight divisions have been awful there also. I mean people were hyping Glass Jawed David Price as some sort of savior that should tell you all you need to know.
No you're right, that is dominance in it's purest form like we have never seen before and probably never will be again in one weight division. He has not been in a competitive fight cause Klitschko is too good for this era of boxing, by miles. Enjoy and appreciate the art, young fella. He will stay on top for a long time. So you can tell your kids about the Klitschko that went from a dead-man walking with a glass chin to the undisputed heavyweight king who went undefeated for 10+ years.
There is an obvious draught of talent which is why size is such as key factor today. It will take a while but the HW division will once again take back it's glory as the number 1 division. It may take another 10-20 years though.
Not taking any punishment while earning millions... Why should he quit? You think Floyd will retire after his SHO teal is over? I highly doubt it. I bet he will be offered a similar contract and even HBO will probably make offers.
