he's been working out,hinting about a comeback on his instagram. talks about wanting to beat Foreman's record as oldest HW champ
Would make the division better ,I’d like to see him fight someone like Parker then Wilder if he’s still around after taking a second loss in a row ,then Fury rematch .
I'd like to see Wlad fight Luis Ortiz since they are both in their 40s.
Another comeback fight for Wlad could be Andy Ruiz, seeing as both are former unified Heavyweight champions who are coming off losses to AJ in their last fight.
Obviously a matter of opinion. One that I don't share. He reigned during a very weak division. Best wins...Byrd, Mercer, Peter? He got KTFO by three journeymen DURING HIS PRIME!
Also,
Don't forget that all time greats Ali and Lennox Lewis also lost in their primes and came back to prove themselves.

So it is always just an opinion, but anyone who ranks Wlad, who has more HW title fights than any other HW and the 2nd longest reign ever out of the top ten, really doesn't know much about boxing and it's history.
If you want to talk H2H matchups, that's a different story, but Wladimir is definitely top ten on his resume' and overall body of work.
He's already top ten. No doubt about it

Wladimir Kiltschko in defeat still gained masses of credit for his effort against Anthony Joshua 'I think Kiltschko would only comeback to fight Tyson Fury'.
Wladimir Kiltschko is still ranked ahead of Fury, Joshua & Wilder in the all time rankings 'Even if Tyson Fury beats Joshua and then retires, I would not ranked him above Wladimir Kiltschko' His title reign cannot be overlooked.
As a fan I always want to see him fight but as a realist, his reflexes are not near as good as they used to be and he will likely lose at the top level and he can't really add to his legacy. That's perfectly secure.
No. He is way too old and many years past prime. He would lose to the very best guys he would easily have beaten 7 or 8 years ago and that is not good for his record. I think fighting at about 40 years old cost him wins over fury and AJ and I think he would have defeated both of them when he was 34 or 35 years old. he will do even worse against them now in my opinion. He is very rich so why risk his health and his record?
If it was the weak 90's era he could come back and dominate except for Lewis. He'd still beat the likes of Pedlyfield, little Mike and Chicken Bowe (if Golota didn't get to him again for another beatdown) But not now, he's never going to hold a belt again, still, I'd watch him if he came back.
Boxing isn't a bodybuilding competition, he may look good but his timing and ability to pull the trigger won't be there. He is finished at top level and shouldn't contemplate another run. I wouldn't want to see him hurt.
Hell yea Id like to see Wlad comeback. He hasnt taken much punishment and HWs have the longest ring life. Why couldnt he comeback if he wanted to.
Besides Tyson Fury, there are buncha cans and mediocre fighters. Wlad can still beat most of these guys.
HW division sucked in the early 2Ks and it still sucks.
The ones who think the current division is some hot sht lol are the noobs. Nothing has changed really in the HW division since Lewis retired.
And by the look of it...juicing.
Juicing has become very ambiguous now..
Most likely he's just on a little doc prescribed TRT and HGH. Which any man over 40 should be on.
Still it's technically juicing but I doubt he's on anything more than 100 to 200 test a week and maybe 2 to 3 IUs of GH a day..
