    Vlad would still make top 10 today. He's in far better shape than Fury despite his age.

    He could have a crack at what Big George did. I think he would struggle against Usyk might have a chance against a sloppy static Fury.

    Oh and the Klit's were always on the top notch gear.

    Maybe fury has aged more than Klitschko in the last 7-8 years. Fury has slowed done alot since his fight with Klitschko.

    And it looks like a 45 year old sparring.

    Wlad was already old 5 years ago and lost 2 fights in a row.

    Wlad has zero need to return to the competitive squared circle, he is healthy, wealthy and wise, he has left a boxing legacy, no reason to sully that.

    I must admit i would have liked to have seen the rematch with Fury at the right time, but it was not to be because of Furys issues.

    Enjoy your retirement Wlad.

    Doesn't look too bad in there. I'm pretty sure the LL style administered from the kronk gym is a style that can be used by older heavyweights, in particular Wladimir Klitschko.

    He should stay retired, but he could beat Ortiz, I'm almost certain.
