Should Wlad Retire?

[BoxingSpecialist2]

I'm a huge Wladimir Klitschko fan and I always have been. He's been perhaps the most dominant heavyweight champion in history, he's been absolutely dominant since 2006, and his wins over Haye, Byrd, Brock, Ibragimov, Chagaev, Thompson, Pulev, Peter, and Brewster are all absolutely top notch.

I remember the first time I saw Wlad fight in 2002 when he knocked out Jameel McCline. I thought "Wow, this guy is awesome".

But he is 38 years old. No one can fight forever. Eventually you lose a bit of athleticism. Mind you, if anything Wlad looks as good today as ever before. What has he got to gain by continuing fighting at this point?

If I'm Wlad. I want two more fights: Wilder, Fury, and then retire. Nothing more to prove at that point. In fact even if he retired now, no one could legitimately knock him for it. He's been the best for 10 years.

Best to retire on a winning note ala Vitali Klitschko or Joe Calzaghe. Lots of boxers stick around too long and become a shadow of what they once were (Ali, Ray Leonard, Mosley etc.).

What's everyone's thoughts?

Wladimir Klitschko will turn 39 in two weeks, on March 25.

I'd say fight Jennings, Fury, and Wilder (and Glazkov if he beats Cunningham) and then retire.

Klitschko has taken more "0"s than any HW in history.

I would hate to see him hang around too long and lose to the likes of a bum like Wilder, who could only beat Wlad if Wlad was completely shot. That's what I believe Team Wilder will try to do - Wait for Wlad to get old. I am sure they would rather bypass Wlad altogether so they could inherit the belts as they basically did with Vitali's belt, only having to go through the bum Stiverne. I also would not want to see Wlad hang around like a Hopkins or a Holyfield, where they fought until they couldn't be competitive anymore and were just too proud to walk away. I don't think this will be the case. Holyfield hung around because he needed the money and Hopkins is just greedy. Wlad won't need the money.

I believe Fury will fight Wlad. After that he should try for Wilder in 2016 but if Team Wilder plays games, Wlad should bow out and retire. Let the paper champion Wilder inherit the belts and let the DWFs and blacks celebrate for the first time in over a decade. I don't believe Wilder will last too long anyways. There are a lot of good HW coming out of Europe that will knock him off before too long.

Wlad knocks how the spasmodic Jennings. Fury fights for cash and gets stopped mid-late. Someone else steps up and gets blasted out or slowly pounded out. Wlad seeks Wilder who hides; fight will never happen unless Wlad is 45-47 so Wlad retires as the best heavyweight EVER. U.S. media doesn't even acknowledge he ever existed and the DWFs keep buying NFL junk.

Ever since he found out Wladimir Klitschko is of 1/4 Jewish heritage, Max Kellerman has stopped discrediting him.

This is interesting:

Yes, for years there have been rumors that the Klitschko ' sare partially Jewish. There have also been rrumors that they are partially Muslim. "Klitschko Muslim" is a popular Google search.

It seems the most credible evidence would suggest one of his grandparents (grandmother) may have been Jew or partial Jew. Apparently Wlad's Dad's Dad like helped Jews during WW2 or something.

He is biologically completely White.

I believe the brothers have stated their religion as "Orthodox Christian".

Regardless of his background, Wlad's an awesome athlete and guy.

On Max Kellerman, I've also noticed Max be very supportive of Kovalev who I highly doubt has any Jew in him. I think Max is just waking up to the fact that Euros are taking over boxing.

What's interesting is that when Yuri Foreman fought, Kellerman was very negative towards him. And Foreman is of course full Jew. Maybe Max is self hating?

They had a Jewish grandmother, but their other three grandparents were Orthodox Christians.

I've never heard or seen anything about the Klitschkos being Muslim. That's news to me.

Yuri Foreman was a boring mediocre boxer. Kellerman wasn't overly negative, he just didn't give him undeserved praise like his ass-kissing co-commentators who were mindful of their Jewish bosses at HBO.

Kellerman hates Kovalev, although he does try to hide it sometimes. If he says Kovalev is unimpressive after one of Sergey's KO victories, it will reveal his hatred for the goyim beyond a doubt, and he knows that. That's the only reason he sometimes doesn't make so many negative comments about him, and even by times forces himself to say something positive (but when he does, his true feelings are revealed in the tone and pitch of his voice).

On the current ESPN video, Kellerman says Kovalev hasn't fought anyone any good, except Hopkins, and that wasn't a good win because Hopkins is old. He says Roy Jones was the most athletically superior boxer ever, and Pascal is athletically superior (but of course he won't say Kovalev is athletic, because that would go against the Chosen One's racist agenda).

During the Hopkins-Kovalev fight, Kellerman was CONSTANTLY discrediting Kovalev's performance and praising Hopkins, going on and on about B-Hop's age every time Lampley said anything positive about Sergey.

Jennings Twitter feed is hilarious. His fans are completely delusional. I can't wait to see their reactions on April 25. Not a fan of his Ebonics either.

I'm more worried about this fight than any of Wlad's before because of his age.He's 39 and i see a small decline in areas like hand speed.This negro Bryant Jennings has a huge 84 inch reach at only 6'3 and i feel he could turn out to be tougher than some expect.Wlad is arguably hitting harder than ever though so there's certainly been no decline in the power department.He should look to hit Jennings hard early to set the tone.Jennings weighs roughly 225 so he may not have the structure to absorb too many bombs.Pulev was a big athletic 250 lb plus undefeated fighter that was destroyed by Wlad's punches so i don't see Jennings having much more success there though i feel he may fight smarter than Pulev did.

 

[BoxingSpecialist2]

I don't see any decline in Wlad whatsoever.

Dare I say it, at age 39 he looks better than ever. The way he blasted out Leapai and Pulev was impressive.

I have never been impressed with Jennings. He looked bad VS Szpilka even though he won by TKO, (Szpilka landed a lot of punches, if Wlad does that it will be game over quick for Jennings) and in his last fight he got a lucky decision over a faded Mike Perez.

Jennings only has like a 50% KO percentage so he doesn'thit hard enough to even have a "punchers chance".

Anything can happen in boxing but barring an injury or if Wlad suddenly turned old overnight I'd say Jennings has no chance.

I'd give Jennings a generous 5% chance of winning the fight.

In all likelihood, I fully expect Wlad to dominate Jennings and likely KO him at some point.

Good points! I can see Jennings landing some punches, not many though. He lacks complete boxing skills, though he may win around or two. No way Wlad loses this one. Some members on here were a bit worried about Kovalev-Pascal.

Jennings is in deep water here. Only 19 fights total and he is now fighting a guy with over 60 fights and 50 knockouts. One of the best ever.

Wlad should just watch all his water bottles and everything else with this fight being in the United States. Jennings should not be getting the home field advantage here.
