How much longer can Wladimir Klitschko dominate the heavyweight division?
He's now at the age when most HWs fade.Comment

he's a HW with a ... wladimir kltischko ... style. i think that's putting it kindly.
38 in klitschko terms is no equal to a 38 year old bantamweight.
wladimir is still leaps and bounds beyond the rest of the world. he's started to look like he's slowing. i thought his fights post manny showed a decline. i thought it was a decline because of steward's absence, but it's not. wladimir is slowing. it still doesn't matter.
the division sucks. i watch HW boxing and think, "can you even call this boxing?" sometimes i shut the TV / my computer off.
klitschko is so tall, has such a good jab, and is so strong in the clinches that it won't matter that he's aged this far. when he can't use his legs he will clinch. he's going to need to really fall off before he gets hurt and stopped against these plebs.
i really hope our deontay can at least make for an exciting fight. i pick him to get stopped by wladimir, but at least he won't get dwarfed and leaned on.Comment

It's amazing that he at this age, still is head and shoulders above everybody else.
Happy birthday champ.Comment

i'm not saying this to knock him, because i think all of the top guys are on the gas, but wladimir is probably on the *cough* program.
these "modern athletes" age extremely well.
couple in the fact that many of his top contenders are 30 lbs overweight on a good day, i'm guessing wladimir will retire with his belts in late 2015.Comment

Much love to the champ. No ****.
Heavies that might be problems at his age:
Pulev (Doubt it but if anyone can jab with Wlad it's him)
Wilder (Doubt it because he's still learning his delivery system but if anyone has a one-shot hope with Wlad it's him)
Jennings (Doubt it but will never write off a guy who's smart, has a strong will and is 100% conditioned like my boy Bryant)
Fury (Doubt it but he's a true fighter who can fight rough inside with combinations and roughhouse tactics and he's got all the size and dog in him you can want-size+stamina+inside ability could be the trick everybody's been looking for)
Thompson (WTF? How did he get in there again? Dear God no! NO! What happened? No! Why? What happened?! ****! Not again! Please! Please God no! Aw Lord in heaven have mercy on us!)Comment
