I don't know if Wlad wants the rematch. He doesn't need it. His legacy is sealed. It would be good in Vegas so that Americans can see what this Joshua guy is all about because they don't know him...or Joshua can fight Wilder in Vegas.
Yeah I get the opinion he isnt overly interested in the rematch. If he did surely were the fight takes place wouldn't make much of a difference.
not wlads style to attempt to avenge a defeat, mainly cos he knows when hes outclassed, though the money might tempt him.
he tried to rematch fury, fury retired after the fight had been reschedualed and went to rehab. sanders vacated the wbo belt after he beat wlad to fight vitali and then retired for a few years
yeh same old. the pattern is that he doesnt avenge, and thats got to be because he doesnt want to double his losses. 3 losses to middlers isnt good - but 6-8 would have wrecked the Klitschko image.
Vlad coming in with the same chin? Not very likely. Concern for not getting tagged has always been uppermost in his mind ever since he lost to Sanders and that other fellow by TKO. That's why he modified his style which worked against shorter opponents whom he could always keep at a safe distance with his jab and pulling back out of range as well as clinching when they did manage to get inside and was able win easily via points or TKO. Now suddenly he is up against equally tall fighters such as Josh with equal reach who can punch who can't be nullified completely on the inside and his jaw is once more in real danger as proven in his last fight where one uppercut proved devastatingly decisive. No, I don't think Vlad will decide to test his ability to take a punch like that by coming back since obviously he can't.
41 year old Wlad coming off a long lay off almost took Joshua's head off, he doesnt need to keep fighting anymore, if he does he should decapitate Wilder and defeat Parker. Also just about every champion in boxing's history in the heavyweights was generally taller than their opponents, exceptions are Marciano and Tyson.
I don't see how the venue will matter. AJ is still younger, no matter if they fight in Vegas or Nigeria.
the money will tempt him. wlad can do it. but man it might be easier for aj this time. i would rather wlad return and fight wilder like opponents.
another one, or two, for Shauns compendium of Klitschko excuses. Wlad doesnt need to fight Joshua because in the last fight he took Joshuas head clean off, by letting Joshua knock him the f out. Wlad shouldnt get KTFO by Joshua again because he should instead decapitate Wilder and defeat Parker, presumably by letting them knock him the f out too.
