    Default Wlad should NOT retire..

    There are so many options for him if he decides to continue with his career..

    He may be 41 but he still beats the majority of heavyweights around today.

    Get back in the mix Wlad, and fight again in October..x1 tune up and retire at 44.

    The Wladimir Klitschko we saw today has slipped a bit, but he would still beat any heavyweight except Anthony Joshua.

    Instead of retiring, he should take on somebody easier like Joseph Parker.

    He could beat quite a few people still, I dont think he is totally finished but in my opinion he has been showing his age since the povetkin fight, against jennings he looked bad too. He could still beat wilder or parker with ease I think but why bother he knows he has lost the last two to the two best of division he'd only be fighting for money now and that is always a dangerous plan for an ageing fighter.. Wladimir has won enough times before a win against parker or wilder doesnt mean too much to him.

    although i am pretty sure he has 2 or 3 fights left on his german tv contract so....................................

    There's no doubt in my book that Wlad could beat Parker or Wilder, but they'll probably avoid him after that. And the thing is , that the reason that Wlad has had the career he's had is that he didn't think anyone could beat him these last 10 years, he knew he was no.1.maybe he can't motivate himself to be "2nd best."
    Having said that he may wish to honour his TV contract.
    I would respect whatever decision he makes.

    Eddie will not want an immediate rematch.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Eddie will probably bring back Charles Martin for a highly deserved rematch.

    Wlad has nothing left to improve his standing. What would he fight on for?

    Wlad should seek a rematch with Fury. If he fights Fury like he fought AJ, Fury goes back into mental depression.

    i think Wlad proved more tonight than he did in most of his other fights that he won. Ironic really, we've all heard it, his losing battle was his finest effort.

    If Wlad wants to I think he should fight on. He proved he is still one of the best heavyweights around. Lets see if Briggs is still keen to fight him.

    Fury is the linear champion , however I don't think he will ever fight again so it really is irrelevant.

    That version of Wlad would beat Wilder.
