    Will he still be top 10 guy at that age at current HW division ?

    Can he beat likes of Pulev, Joyce and Ortiz ?

    Joyce and Ortiz would knock him out in 2.

    It gets sketchy trying to fill out the back half of the top 10 currently, you'd have to instantly rank him in there somewhere.

    Wlad coming back would still whip the floor with guys like Joyce, wilder, Whyte, ortiz and ruiz. He would be the underdog against usyk, Fury and joshua

    I came back sparring with some novices and I felt like Bellew when he was fading against Usyk. Speed and reaction time is gone, Legs started getting heavy, energy was gone by the 3rd round. Chin was the only thing I had left.
    Klitschko is obviously a superior athlete but he's gonna find out what all us old ****s have found out.

    He's retired. Looks like he is just exercising to stay in shape.

    Maybe he and Briggs make an exhibition match, if the money is good enough.

    He hits like a truck. Still looks reasonably fast compared to HW's not named Fury/Usyk.

    Definitely a cut above this generation of HW's.
