Wlad extends TV contract for 5 fights -- plans to box at least 2 more years

Can't see him winning them all.

 

hbo

 

Dino is close to the edge now. He might not last through the five fights without being institutionalised. The beating that Fury will take may even prompt a major phsycotic episode.

 

Thanks!:happy

 

I am a big time Klitschko fan but I think he might be hanging in there a bit too long

 

A lot of people are saying that based on the Jennings fight. Jennings was a very weird matchup stylistically. Wlad looked great when he destroyed the #2 guy in Pulev the fight before and Wlad generally does better against bigger fighters anyway.

 

I mean in 2 years time, I think at current form he beats everyone

But Wlad gets injured a fair amount and Vitali lost a chance at a great WBC title reign by retiring early from injuries only to come back later

I worry that Wlad hangs around just long enough where he suffers an injury during a fight and loses a fluke at the tail end of his career.

I feel like he should fight Fury, then Wilder in the US and call it a day or just beat Fury and call it a day

 

Why should he not fight on? Does he really have anything to fear from the clowns around him right now?

 

True, but he's not really achieving anything either by fighting these clowns. The HW division really is awful right now. It has to be for the Louis record.

 

Cool. Let him overtake Holmes and Louis. Seems like the only way he will get credit is by raw weight of numbers.

 

You could make out the Furys to be guarding their hand, with an eye to fighting W.K down the line and not want to have have a reputation for fighting big tall men, hiding your moves. He's a gypsy like. He has cunning plans and stuff.

 

That's the best spin on that I read thus far :good

 

Wlad is visibly declining, is probably soft now that he has a family, and will always have a questionable mandible

He was fortunate enough in his career to not suffer any real damage outside of 3 KO loses, in all his other fights he barely had a glove land on him, but he really should get out of the game while he's on top and without an serious long term health problems

He can probably take care of the likes of Fury and Wilder, but when guys like Joshua or Parker mature and reach their primes, they very well may knock Wlad out

 

Wladimir is still good. He couldn't knock Jennings out because he fought in survival mode, he didn't even want to fight. If Jennings would have shown at least 1 % of his arrogance in the ring, he would get knocked out badly. This was coward style.
