Comments Thread For: Klitschko To Make Decision Joshua Rematch "Within Two Weeks"

[bboy80]

Why does he need 2 weeks to decide at this stage of his career? It's not like he's some contender or young champ who needs to weigh the risk vs reward against his future marketability...
Either he wants it, or he doesn't.

Prob due to Pulev..

I hope you retire Wladimir !!!

There is nothing left for you to prove.

I see a lot of people are scared for Joshua in a rematch and want Wlad to retire.

[slimPickings]

So an exception has been granted for the fight to go ahead and yet Wlad needs time to decide.

Retire.

[super-x]

Hes had 6 weeks almost since the fight, if he hasnt decided yet then he should retire because it doesnt take a fighter 6 weeks to figure out whether he has the desire to seek revenge or not. The fire should have been there from a week out tops after the fight... His heart doesnt seem in it at this stage, he knows he was in his best form for that fight, fought like a warrior and he wont be any better in rematch, AJ will be better prepared for the tactics this time.

No, a lot of people are just tired of seeing Wlad lose and dont feel like seeing him lose to Joshua again. People want good fights in the HW division, not an old washed up Wlad trying to relive his youth

This rematch doesn't do anyone justice. If Wlad goes forward with the rematch and wins, then what? He retires and blemishes Joshua. If he loses, then Joshua won't really get credit because it will be written off as a win against an old 41 year old past his prime Wlad who should've retired a fight ago.

Sounds like you know exactly what he's going through. Please, tell us more about what it feels like to be dethroned after a ten-rein as the Heavyweight Champion of the World...and how easy career decisions are once you reach that point.

Wow - didn't mean to get you so upset sweetheart.

[gioberi]

It was 2 weeks 1 month ago. Decide already.

Good point. I haven't stopped crying since I read your post. Yet, despite the tears, I think even you must appreciate that it's the kind of decision that none of us can really identify with ... so why would we make such strong statements about Wlad's decision-making process?
