More infos on the Klitschko-Stiverne/Pulev dilemma

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

Quick hypothetical, what would it do for Vitali's legacy if he did one of the following two options:

- Came back and beat Stiverne and promptly retired again.

- Stiverne managed to beat Wlad and would have all the belts, Vitali would come back and beat Stiverne and become 4 time champ and undisputed champ at age 43.

I believe Vitali would need at least 6 months to get to the level of fitness he was in 2011. And I am not talking about weight loss only. Unfortunately, the crisis in Ukraine affected his fitness. I wouldn't consider a 2014 comeback as being realistic.

If I were Vitali, I would make a one month trial training to see if I can still make it.

Vitali coming back would however be awesome!

stievernve and wlad need to fight their mandatories period

Says the guy who kept saying how incredible it was that mayweather was unifying against maidana - holding multiple belts in 2 weight classes simultaneously.

And the guy who said kovalev needs to go to showtime to unify

Yet says nothing about mandatories when late last year Pacquaio was mando for mayweather's welterweight strap.

Just imagine you are one of the Klitschko brothers for instance, let's say Vitali for instance. If my brother can't get to the WBC title, shouldn't I use my Emeritus status to bring the belt back to the "family" and then finding a way to let Wladimir fight for it?

If Don King or Wilder start to avoid Wladimir, a Vitali comeback would be, in my opinion, realistic.

If Stiverne would beat Wlad, I think he wouldn't fight again for 6 months. And I'm just saying this as a complete hypothetical. Vitali is currently campaigning for mayor of Kiev and if he gets the position he won't be coming back.

It seems to me that Don King wants to milk Stiverne as much as possible before throwing him into the dragon's den. If Vitali loses the election in Kiev, we might expect a comeback.

Doesn't he intend to run for Presidency next year too?

Pulev " I am a better boxer than Klitschko [...] I will marry my girlfriend in the ring after beating Klitschko"

Pulev sounds very slef-confident if not arrogant.

Pulev is a G

Even though it would be Nice for Wlad to be undisputed, Pulev is much better than Stiverne and is a better win for his legacy.

Yes. It doesn't make sense if Boente tries to treat Pulev like some bum. Get it on ffs and give the classy Bulgarian a good payday.

Yeah. Furtermore the winner of Stiverne-Wilder will have some credentials and that would set the stage for a superfight. It's never a bad thing to have a good HW hope from the US. The trouble might be to get that fight made though. That wont be easy.
