Comments Thread For: Wilder: Drug Testing is Very Big Deal For Povetkin Bout

[LacedUp]

The only true boxer Wilder beat was Stiverne.. and he didn't even KO him. I heard he was ill as well.

Takam > Stiverne

Oh god.

Please stop it.

Takam is OK - he's not better than Stiverne.

Why does Deonthay come off so insecure when Povetkin is the discussion?

Takam is overall better than Stiverne. Better boxer and comes into fights in better shape. Stiverne just has more punching power. Let's not forget Stiverne was beaten up and stopped by bum Demetrius King and was making an old shot Ray Austin look like Larry Holmes.

In Stiverne's defense, the Demetrice King fight was a pretty early and bad stoppage.

I would pick Stiverne to beat Takam if they ever fought.

When was the last time Wilder had his own drug test? Since Povetkin is Sauerland he's been having random year round drug tests.


Although Povetkin has either gotten more serious or he's actually doping because he's been destroying guys with good chins lately. Like 1 or 2 punches KO destroy.

A guy with a questionable, ripped physique welcomes drug testing and we get this kind of BS as a response?? This is why we can't have nice things. Boxing fans don't want a better sport, they want to blindly praise their heroes and attack anyone they see as a threat.

Povetkin is no longer with Sauerland.

"Attack anyone they see as a threat" Sounds like what Deonthay is doing.

Nice emotional response. You're not tied to Deonthay at all. And if you knew a little more about Povetkin, you'd know he's already tested more than most fighters. Deonthay has more than flat out accused Povetkin of roiding, and you call that "nice things". Strange stuff.

Mf-ers talked abut him after the Perez fight like he would be the new Tyson.
They all seem to forget that he struggled with Huck and when he really stepped up he got beaten by Wlad by a wide margin. It was probably the ugliest fight of the XXI. century but that still doesn't change on the fact that he couldn't do anything with Wlad.

huck was as a very tough awcward fighter and povetkin had rolls hanging off him in that fight. he was clearly out of shape and didnt take the fight seriously.hes looked much better before and since. wilder got hurt badly by a club fighter that povetkin would have iced within 3 rounds. most good fighters have struggled with a guy in there career that was supposed to be a walk over. shouldnt judge a fighter on one or two bad fights

[beez721]

I don't. Wilder is far from a perfect fighter, but he's far better than Povetkin. Povetkin has been overrated his whole career. Wilder throws more punches, lands more, is faster and has more power, and is more mobile with a better gas tank. Unless Povetkin lands a huge shot in the early rounds, he'll be running on fumes by rounds 4-5. Chasing a guy uphill like he will be is brutally tough.

All those that doubt that have never sparred or fought a round in their life. It will look like Wlad-Povetkin only more brutal..

the only edge wilder has is one punch power. the rest of what you said I disagree with. povetkin is equal or better in every other catgegory besides one punch pop
