Anyone think Wlad will come back?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

sparring at 250 lbs is definitely different from playing recreational basketball . nba players rarely come out of retirement. boxers do it all the time. retired HW get offers all the time.

in this case particularly i don't see wladimir coming back, but let's call a spade a spade.

Obviously, I didn't mean the physical aspect of it. But there have been plenty of pro fighters who keep sparring even after they retire.

But we can agree that Wlad doesn't seem like a person who has the need to come back.

I can't see it

[minemax]

He will come back. The question is when. It might be a couple of years from now.

[_Rexy_]

Not at all. Unless he’s fighting George Foreman

[Earl-Hickey]

Some of you guys are dreaming.

I like Wladimir and I have a lot of respect for him.

But that Joshua fight was klitschko going to the well for the final time, he came in very light and gave it everything but at 40 it just wasn't quite there anymore.

He's only going to be worse now, he's a smart guy and he himself will realize that

But wla d does kind of imply he got his tactics wrong that he should have tried stop him but tried tire Josh out instead.

I think the fact that he could (and should) have finished Joshua off is eating away at him.

I know that's how I would feel, he lost a golden opportunity to be a total boxing legend.

As smart as Wlad is, he may decide to have one more dance...maybe against Fury.

I hope he comes back ill enjoy watching Heavyweight Champion Wilder KHTFO

[EasternEuroFan]

He's done.

As someone pointed out, he fought two young top heavyweights in his last two fights and lost both fights. Nothing is going to change for the better, only worse. He can train and spar all he wants but his final two fights showed that the young 'uns have overtaken him. Nothing wrong with that, that's how it goes in sport eventually.

Wlad has never been a gung ho guy, his tactics were actually correct it was just luck of the draw that night that it didn't work

Joshua is dangerous, he had already put klitschko down, running in throwing caution to the wind against a guy who has already hurt you and knocked you down isn't a smart thing to do, you look for your shots, which klitschko did, they just weren't there on that night.

In a rematch I guarentee you joshua would just be more agressive, every time he came forward and put it on klitschko he got the better of him.
