Comments Thread For: Klitschko: No Retirement, Joshua Fight Will Be Biggest in Years

[Larry the boss]

It would be foolish to assume he would retire at any age in the shape hes in ,hes the best 41 year old in boxing history and the only fighter favored to defeat him now as far as im concerned is Joshua until proven otherwise . A loss to Joshua is the most likely outcome for numerous reasons the biggest one now is going to be the long lay off ,after Joshua there are still knock outs to be had against other top guys win or lose .

?????????????

LMFAO.

1. He's 40

2. How does a loss and inactivity makes him the greatest 40 or in your case "41 year old" in HW history???????????

well you had your chance this december and you bottled it. you'll bottle it again next year. youve always been cowardly wlad, know people will have a go at me for calling a pro boxer a coward but he is cowardly, has always been safety first, was like a rabbit in the headlights against fury when he fought someone who was physically bigger than him who he couldnt clinch.

What other 40 year old was in remote shape Wlad is in and still at championship caliber ?

As a fan of Klitschko and a man in his late 30s, I like hearing this news. I want to see Klitschko a few more times in fights that will build his legacy. A win over Joshua would be great, so would a win over Fury or Wilder.

How do you know this is not Wlad's manager cheerleading in a boxing forum!!!

What SANE boxing fan would come up with such gem?

[Quiksilva]

You guys should not estimate Wlad that easily, he was only beaten by Fury because Fury was a difficult and awkward fighter who moved around a lot and isn't stiff like AJ.

Wlad would be a tough opponent for AJ tbh

What sort of returded answer is that? Are you actually for real?

Even Shannon Briggs is a greater plus 40 y/o HW than Wlad.

Wlad hasn't won a fight since he was 38.

Hes still in physical peak condition ,obviously his timing will be a bit off now with the lay off and age . Shannon Briggs a greater plus 40 based on what ? Zumbano Love

Yeah , Zumbano Love . Any win is better than no win.

How the man looks means nothing. Foreman was a greater 38 , 39 , 40 ,41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 y/o HW .
