Comments Thread For: Klitschko Asking Self If It's 'Time To Go From' Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – A dearth of intriguing challengers isn’t the only thing making Wladimir Klitschko contemplate just how much longer he wants to box.

The long-reigning heavyweight champion turned 39 last month, has a newborn daughter and would like to commit more time to political and social issues about which he is passionate. His older brother, retired former WBC champ Vitali Klitschko, last boxed when he was 41. With his April 25 fight against Bryant Jennings looming, Wladimir Klitschko isn’t sure he’ll box even that long.

If he fights wilder,or fury,he can retire with absolutely no regrets.

Not yet Vladimir, not yet. You should unify all belts firstly, and defend them one or two times too. Then retire. No need to hunt that Joe Louis record if the hunger has declined.

If he is thinking that Wilder is a bad opponent for him I believe. He should be just fine against Jennings though.

[bojangles1987]

That's never a good mindset to have, but I'm not sure there's anyone who can take advantage of even a Wlad halfway out of the ring already.

in reality you left boxing a long time ago and have been wrestling ever since

Put down Fury & Wilder and retire before hitting 40s, great career.

[sunny31]

Yeah I am sure he is, now that there are a few challenges on the horizon.

Keep whining, as you do in every post about Vlad. Clinching is part of HW boxing especially, unless you forgot.

Man, it'll be a sad day for me when Wladimir retires. Besides Mayweather and Pacquiao fights, there's nothing quite like the event feel of the HW champ putting all his titles on the line. What will be left when he's gone? All the titles fragmented again, with only Wilder and Fury as interesting personalities, and probably the insufferable Haye getting his gobshyte hands on a belt again.

Dreading it.
