Why Wlad doesn't take a tune up for his comeback?

I just hope his next fight is worth me watching. I will watch him fight Wilder (hurt), Joshua, Ortiz and maybe Dillon Whyte. Otherwise, I prob will not watch. Klitschko versus Whyte ? WTF ! Whyte has no business contesting on the highest level, the guy is a D level scrub he's basically another Deryck Chisora.

Is Tony Thompson still around? Rubber match, baby. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: but seriously its waird that Thopson gave him probably the best fights beside loses,Thopson was never player in HW but he could fight Klitchko like 50/50 oponent,styles make fights i guess.

When you have max. 1 or 2 yrs(stretching it) left in your career you cannot be bothered to have tuneups & frankly beating a no-hopers(anyone below #10) will not do your confidence any good either.. Mix in with the new HWs & get your focus back for one last hurrah!

Agreed, he's been in top quality sparring and training it's not as though he's had anything other than a 4 month break between November and April. Whilst I like the notion it doesn't feel right he should be contesting vacant belts, though he needs to be fighting at the highest level that is paramount. This. He needs to be mixing it with the best of the division if he is to be held in high regard, he may yet have a lot to offer on the biggest stage, it's unclear at this stage but fighting guys like Szpilka, Breazeale and Martln prove nothing. Their is a short list of guys he should and hopefully will be facing, the guys in receipt of belts namely. I just hope his next fight is worth me watching.

WIth Fury stripped his next fight should be for a belt. Whilst I like the notion it doesn't feel right he should be contesting vacant belts, though he needs to be fighting at the highest level that is paramount. He's 40 years old, not the most exciting fighter to watch and just lost after a huge run. He needs wins against top opponents if he's to still be taken seriously as a force in the division now. A tune up or weak opponent does nothing for him at this stage. This.
