Look at the mask. That's gotta be the sexiest burglar I've ever seen.
Based on this picture, Wlad looks like he's more ready for porn than boxing. -

No.
they say the punch is the last thing to go, and looking back it’s pretty clear Wladimir didn’t have it at the end of his run. His power was just as much the jab, which wore your down, as much as the right and left hook, which finished you. He can’t put all that together anymore.
Case in point: after he fought Jennings, people wouldn’t shut up about how Jennings was the future of the division. Turns out he’s garbage, Wlad was just long in the tooth and allowed him to coast.Last edited by paulf; 10-27-2021, 07:26 PM.Comment

Even at age 44 - I’d pick Wlad to spark Wilder in a rd and stop Whyte late.Comment

His final fight against Joshua was a great send off for him. He was past it back then, but he showed he still had enough left in the tank to hurt AJ.
Coming back now? No, he had a great run and long title reign. Nothing left to prove.Comment

No. He's been knocked out four times, he lost his last two fights, he's 44, and he has 69 pro fights and 140 amateur fights on his record. Too much mileage.
To be honest he hasn't looked like himself since the Pulev fight seven years ago. After that he had way too much trouble with Jennings, lost, retired, came back, lost again, and retired again.
He has nothing left to prove. He was the best of his era and that era is over.Comment

Definitely not, he looked poor against Jennings, past prime vs Fury and shot vs AJ. It was clear Wlad’s age was catching up with him 6 years ago, he has no business getting back inside the ring.Comment
