He can probably still beat most of the current crop.
I hope Wlad does come back. It will be a total disaster for him, if a hungry and obsessed Wlad could not be AJ then an older version will not be able to either.
Wlad should have chased Wilder in the first place.
Wlad will not have the drive to fight any new challengers. This will not end well.
Wlads Renaissance
When I stopped competitive boxing, I still went to the gym and did lots of sparring.
I was still pretty good and easily held my own, usually dominating (if I do say so myself) ..... but there is a world of difference between 'fun' sparring where both sides are holding back on punches a bit and trying new stuff out.
Real fighting is massively different, much more physically and psychologically exhausting, and much more mental pressure. You never have to 'go to the well' past exhaution and pain when sparring, and that's the ability fighters lose the quickest.
Wlad is intelligent enough to know this, he doesn't need the money and he has nothing to prove
Wlads Mrs has just fucked him off so he could be an angry cunt and I'd love to see him back in with Dillian Whyte 👍🏻
;D Wow. Anyway I'd be up for it but if it's a long term return. The idea that Flores, Dylan (?), Oquendo or Charr are involved in the title picture is pretty damn depressing.
Hope he doesn't comeback, in one heroic loss he diluted ten years of boredom.
James Toney or nothing.
Personally think he will comeback and rematch Fury.
This is true, but I for one would like to see that Wlad a few more times.Quote:

Man I miss Vitali now ;D. If only Wlad picked up that beard also. He's always had great composure in a ring and more experience than most and legacy is sealed. Say a shocker happens with Povetkin or Fury..division busts wide open.Quote:

However, if he's bent on coming back, I'd go for a rematch vs Fury. No way he should let that fight stand without going back in there and making it right.
I still maintain that the Wlad who lost to AJ mops the floor with Fury.
Yeah but the mop that floors AJ will Wlad Fury
In English please?
Very well said. That fight was absolutely exhilarating. AJ has not lived up to the promise of that fight as of yet. I hope he does soon.Quote:

That is harsh on AJ. He overcame an "obsessed" ex-champion who took him to the depths that he had previously not known and kept his title when he has had everything his own way. Joshua could easily have crumbled. Instead he got up and gave us a fight we will long live to remember.Quote:

AJ beating Wlad at 41. HA! that's even worse than Marciano beating a 38 year-old Jersey Joe Walcott late in the fight.
Walcott had Marciano hurt and down on his ass. But just like Wlad he couldn't finish him.
Then youth with its tireless energy came in for the kill.
