Comments Thread For: Klitschko: I'm at Peace With My Decision To Stop Boxing

[deathofaclown]

Bet he wished he'd jumped on Joshua after seeing the Ruiz fight instead of playing it cautious after he knocked him down

No doubt. He must kick himself.

I think that’s age though. Some fighters just can’t pull the trigger and finish the job when they get too old. Plus he was always a pretty cautious fighter anyway.

That fight was there for the taking though.

In hindsight, it probably makes AJ look pretty bad despite winning. Wlad was already looking old in the Jennings fight and couldn’t really do much in there with him, never looked like stopping him. Then he didn’t really lay a glove on Fury either.

Then he comes back older and inactive and nearly stops AJ. People give AJ a pass because it was Klitschko, but the truth is that it was only Klitschko in name, the reality was that it was a very faded fighter.

In fact, he exercised an immediate rematch clause and scheduled to face Joshua for a second time in the fall - but a few months before the planned date he announced his retirement.

In fact, he didn't excercize anything but your mom. He was quiet about possible rematch and your mom's аss.

The reality is a motivated Klitchko is a dangerous one.

Anyone with two eyes that can see saw Wlad was looking sharp that Furys OWN family told Joshua he was getting the better Klitchko coming in to make a statement but we'll forget that ,right ? lol


The fact is the guy in your avi ran away from the rematch because his own Uncle told him he needed to be much better then the first fight and fury dodnt want the work put in.



You guys can discredit all you like but Joshua had not only defeated a far better prepared Klitchko coming off 3 training camps but he stopped him. Fury could do little to him but stay distance and couldnt come in on him unlike he did to Wilder making him look foolish at times hitting air , another Klitchko ducker.

Klitchko would have been the number 2 HW had he come back and fought a Wilder ,bc he knocks him out as its the worst style for him .But we'll just keep making stuff up on here to make the fighter you like look good,a second deranged fan base only second to Wilders,,,,,, lol

Nobody gets better at 41 after nearly 2 years out, especially someone who was already on the decline. You just sound foolish for even thinking it.

Big stiff AJ would have been a tailor made opponent for a young Wlad, that’s the truth. So even a faded version was going to have some success with a big stiff target in front of him.

Wladdy looked better than he did in years for AJ but he had a bad chin too so he was afraid of being layed out and gassed if he went it for the kill

[ShaneMosleySr]

Just wait until there’s one champion. It won’t be long until the fight between that champion and wladimir Klitschko becomes the biggest fight that can be made in boxing.

Klitschko will realize he can come back for one night to make tons of money and chase history. He’ll do it. I just don’t think he’s interested in being a part of figuring out the championship picture.

Dont think so, he has other ventures outside of boxing which I believe are quite successful. Vitali also thought about coming back a few times but never did.

Common sense but you talking to a guy that was going on for weeks about how Breazeale was going to destroy Wilder and how AJ will steamroll Ruiz

[P4Pdunny]

Good choice, stay out the game he's done well enough and made lots of money and has good health still

[DreamFighter]

He wasnt much good though when he came back, his experience allowed him to pounce on AJ but he couldnt KO him.


AJ could though.



What would have been more desirable is is Wlad had fought better opps as a champion instead of 9/10 zombies, he'd have lost more but gained more success than a 10 year fake reign.

[W1LL]

Too old now Wlad, just leave it. It is obvious he is seeing the excitement return to the Heavyweight division, and he's having second thoughts about retirement. But he looked gun-shy in his final two fights, and the last one was over 2 years ago. Age waits for no man. He'd get KO'd by someone like Dillian Whyte at this point. Last time I saw him he looked like he's lost a good 20+ lb of muscle too.
