No, it's not about money. His consulting group (it's more like theirs — his with Vitaly) is estimated to earn 3.5 million euros a year. Wlad's possible comeback — it's just his ego playing tricks on him.
We have agreed on things before. This is not a troll. This is my thought process on this matter. It could be flawed. Not like it would be the first time. But you did ask (and I've said this before); As soon as Wlad found himself unable to lay across the back of his opponents (Fury and Joshua both too tall) and exhaust them he began to lose (again). Before Manny Stewart taught him to do that he was getting KTFO by Lamont Brewster and Corrie Sanders. As gangly and awkward as he appears Deontay is tall and athletic. Wlad will not lay across him. Deontay has big power in either hand. Wlad has a **** chin. Wlad's 42 and loses the stamina battle. How do you think I think that ends?
Agree Wlad steamrolls Wilder. Much more power and 10 times the skill that Wilder has Wlads only real questionable fights would be, as you said, Joshua and fury Wlad did so well against Joshua I find it shocking he retired instead of giving that another run; after all he knocked Joshua down with one single shot and could’ve followed up and finish the fight had he been more aggressive instead of laying back. (vitali admits to advising him to lay back and acknowledged that was a mistake- to tell him that when he had Joshua up off the floor and hurt) I hope he does come back as I think he has enough left to beat all but the top two——- and possibly those two as well His power is well above all three of those, as is his boxing skill and Control of distance What Wlad would have a hard time dealing with the awkward style, elusive movement, amazing reach and speed of Fury. He has no knock out power he sure has everything else In spades. Fury will be very hard for anyone to deal with prime or not given his size, speed and movement Joshua does not pose as much of a threat that fury does. I think Vlad could train hard become focused and beat Joshua- but to win the rematch with fury ——-I’m not sure
Wlad would never lose to Ortiz (who is older), Whyte, Miller, Kownacki or Parker! Never! Even if he was 50!
People often say this and I find it a bit odd. VK didn’t decide preemptively to be gun shy against Fury. Fury made him ineffective. He very nearly managed to do exactly the same against Wilder. He’s excellent at negating opponents strengths.
