    If it was the weak 90's era he could come back and dominate except for Lewis. He'd still beat the likes of Pedlyfield, little Mike and Chicken Bowe (if Golota didn't get to him again for another beatdown) But not now, he's never going to hold a belt again, still, I'd watch him if he came back.

      Theres too much history at stake for Klitschko to stay retired. He’s a competitor and he’ll realize that. If he became a three time champion and an undisputed champion on top of everything else he’s accomplished, he’s arguably the greatest heavyweight ever. If the timing is right, he breaks George Foreman’s age record too.

      It’s hard to argue against Klitschko’s resume. Joe Louis is number one in my book but I wouldn’t argue with anyone who said Klitschko if he came back again and won a title.

      That’s what will bring him back. He wants to be the best ever.

      And he’ll get the fight. There isn’t a bigger fight out there for the winner of Fury-Joshua than a rematch against Klitschko, so it makes too much sense for them to say no.

      I can’t wait.

        He was a boring fighter at his best, I certainly don't want to see him now. He's done, nothing left to prove.

          No. He is way too old and many years past prime. He would lose to the very best guys he would easily have beaten 7 or 8 years ago and that is not good for his record. I think fighting at about 40 years old cost him wins over fury and AJ and I think he would have defeated both of them when he was 34 or 35 years old. he will do even worse against them now in my opinion. He is very rich so why risk his health and his record?

              God no. Just because he appears to be in physical shape doesn't mean he is in boxing shape.

                    As a fan I always want to see him fight but as a realist, his reflexes are not near as good as they used to be and he will likely lose at the top level and he can't really add to his legacy. That's perfectly secure.

                      He's already top ten. No doubt about it
