Anyone think Wlad will come back?

He's done. As someone pointed out, he fought two young top heavyweights in his last two fights and lost both fights. Nothing is going to change for the better, only worse. He can train and spar all he wants but his final two fights showed that the young 'uns have overtaken him. Nothing wrong with that, that's how it goes in sport eventually.

I hope he comes back ill enjoy watching Heavyweight Champion Wilder KHTFO

I think the fact that he could (and should) have finished Joshua off is eating away at him. I know that's how I would feel, he lost a golden opportunity to be a total boxing legend. As smart as Wlad is, he may decide to have one more dance...maybe against Fury.

Some of you guys are dreaming. But that Joshua fight was klitschko going to the well for the final time, he came in very light and gave it everything but at 40 it just wasn't quite there anymore. He's only going to be worse now, he's a smart guy and he himself will realize that But wla d does kind of imply he got his tactics wrong that he should have tried stop him but tried tire Josh out instead.

Not at all. Unless he’s fighting George Foreman

He will come back. The question is when. It might be a couple of years from now.

I can't see it

sparring at 250 lbs is definitely different from playing recreational basketball :lol1:. nba players rarely come out of retirement. boxers do it all the time. retired HW get offers all the time. in this case particularly i don't see wladimir coming back, but let's call a spade a spade. Obviously, I didn't mean the physical aspect of it. But there have been plenty of pro fighters who keep sparring even after they retire. But we can agree that Wlad doesn't seem like a person who has the need to come back.

Come back and do what? Lose to these younger fighters?

No, he looked old against Fury and that was three years ago. He's had a long career, he should enjoy retirement. He deserved it.

If a Charles Martin became champ and gave wla d first opportunity to get belt then maybe. But whilst josh, wilder, fury are walking earth maybe not

yeah against Shannon briggs with Floyd vs pac on the undercard

I seriously doubt it. Most boxers who come back in their 40s typically face money problems or have nothing else in their lives. This dude speaks 4 languages and holds a PhD. If he can't find something to do after a boxing career, it would be shocking.

He's not coming back. Many pro fighters stay sparring even after they retire. It's no different than a basketball player who keeps playing recreational basketball after they retire. sparring at 250 lbs is definitely different from playing recreational basketball :lol1:. nba players rarely come out of retirement. boxers do it all the time. retired HW get offers all the time. in this case particularly i don't see wladimir coming back, but let's call a spade a spade.

Nope. Wald got PhDs. With an S. so Multiple. He aint coming back. Too smart.

Hope not. Needs to stay retired

I don't think he will. Only yesterday he ruled out the possibility of an AJ rematch: https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/11558158/wladimir-klitschko-rules-out-anthony-joshua-rematch

I think Wlad is done.

Wladecould entertain one more legendary fight for the undisputed if it's available for grab. He might take the risk with all momentum.

He's in his 40s and the HW landscape isn't what it was when he was there pretty much towering over everyone and keeping them at bay with the jab jab right. Now they are his height/size, taller, younger, more athletic, and faster. He already had a go at two of the top 3 HW's (Wilder/Joshua/Fury) and came up short. I think he has a shot to beat who ever he can keep at bay, maybe Parker, Ortiz, Whyte, Miller. But due to his age, those fights aren't given wins anymore. They would've been, easily, like 5-7 years ago, from 2012-2015 where he kinda still had a lot in his tank for these shorter guys. I think he would've always had issues with Joshua and Fury though.
