Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Accuses Povetkin of Using Steroids

[IMDAZED]

it's not about ducking, it's about the accusation without proof, is it that hard to understand?

It's hard to understand why you're whining about him expressing his opinion. How much does it hurt you?

whining? his opinion is an accusation without foundation, not hard to understand my previous post

[Brickyardigan]

Here we go again...

Boxingscene accusing a boxer of being scared to fight some scrub. Yet they won't put money on him and will instead put money on the boxer they accused of being afraid.

No ****. He said it was his opinion.

I agree with the champ. A couple of years ago povetkin looked like a middle aged woman, now suddenly in his mid 30's he's applying for the role of Hercules. Somethings fishy

I find the "Fighter X is on steroids" argument usually way overplayed.

That said, the difference between the Pre-Rahman Povetkin and today's Povetkin is vast... a Grand Canyon sized gap The difference between a borderline Top 10 Heavyweight and a dominant Top 2-3 Heavyweight.

He consistently looked the part of a here today, gone tomorrow Top 10 Heavyweight against journeymen/gatekeeper level fighters regardless of the result (he struggled heavily against fighters like Estrada and Firtha); and he arguably lost to a Marco Huck moving up in weight (displaying a lack of stamina, strength, power, and confidence even though he wasn't trained by Atlas for that fight (and Huck mauled him at certain points during the fight).

After that fight, he's been absolutely steamrolling opponents and even in his loss to Klitschko, he remained strong and energized marching forward throughout the fight. Do you know how well conditioned and strong he had to be to withstand all of Wlad's constant entangling, mauling, wrestling, and punching in a fight where Wlad employed it even more than usual for 12 rounds continuing to put pressure on him throughout?

Today's version of Povetkin steamrolls the fighters he struggled with pre-Rahman including Huck, Chagaev, etc. He looks bigger, stronger, better conditioned, and even more confident.

Hopefully, the su****ions are not justified and he's not on PED's because it would destroy what should be an FOTY candidate between him and Wilder (if he has been legit the pre-Rahman Povetkin gets destroyed, post-Rahman Povetkin creates a FOTY candidate with a very strong shot at beating Wilder).

Wilder scared from that Russian Trojan.

He better vacate...

[Heavyfist]

Wilder is right to be scared of Povetkin.

The Russian is going to destroy Wilder.

This is an ugly look for Wilder, very bad. Really rather disgraceful. There's no super obvious signs that Povetkin is juicing like other fighters. So when a fighter does what Wilder has, its obvious he's scared. Povetkin has already won half the battle.

Wilder is now..

...on my sh it list. Anytime a fighter starts to make asinine comments like this his butt licking fans take up the cry and then it becomes fact. This is bull sh it. Look what fraud did to Pac. I truly hope Povetkin rips his FN head off.

FK all the bashers that are claiming PEDs when their fighter gets beat. Povetkin is a machine. He is ALWAYS in shape. Maybe that's a concept sh it American HW don't understand.
