    I am guessing he probably thinks that too. But the fact that he didn't finish him and got knocked out subsequently should tell him that it is over.

    The tragedy of it all is despite being old and shot, he probably still could beat a lot of guys.

    I hope he leaves this alone and stays retired.

    He doesn't seem like the type who would waste all his money and need to come back.
    He 100% let Joshua off the hook. But the thing is that was his style. He didn't take any chance he didn't need to take.

    Its smart cuz his long reign (2004-2015 unbeaten streak, which is nuts) was likely because of that. It was bad for entertainment value for most boxing fans. And specifically vs Joshua it lead to him grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory that he had all but locked up. So I suspect overall his safety first approach was a massive net positive despite it also being responsible for the Joshua L.

      Unless he changes his style adding some SPEED (which hard at his age) I don't see him capable of winning AJ/Wilder. And he can't beat Fury, no chance. But I will cheer for him anyways.

      But notice his hand on the photo showing us "2" which might be another hint about rematch or just a subtle reminder of when was that fight (exactly 2 years ago).

        AJ fight was competitive but what stands out to me is how Wlad always seemed to be one step behind. I know he could beat majority of these bums but guys like AJ and Fury should be too much at this point.

        I still want to see him comeback. Maybe we’ll get to see the aggressive Wlad, like the pre-Sanders version lol.

            Nice guy and all but his style was boring as hell. Pac and Klit need to retire.

                Welp sounds like Klitschko is coming back more & more. Let me re-boot his boxrec.

                43 years old.

                Been outta the ring exactly 2 years today.

                Hasn't won a fight in 4 years & 4 days as of today.

                And he's 2-2 (1) vs guys in the indie top ten as of now.

                It does not bold well for Klitschko...but money.

                What is funny though, even with all those stats you provided, is that if he came back right now, he would still be a top 5 heavyweight.

                    He gots some pretty f#cking solid accomplishments so yea. If he can actually still hang in the top 5 would be up for debate, but I think its reasonable to expect that he could.

                    Hopefully you're right cuz I love how Wladimir left the sport in a epic & fun fight.

                    With the history of retired boxers who've come back I don't think its crazy to think he could doe. And with all the talk & hints & offers out there I kinda feel like its a good bet that we haven't seen his last fight at this point.

                      He's reminiscing but his words aren't a mistake.

                      One of the best days of his boxing career (so far).

                      That's not an accident, it's a teaser.
