Povetkin never wanted to fight Wilder.

[Weebler I]

You're giving your opinion. I gave links to stories showing they've been avoiding the fight. Even telling the WBC in November that they wouldn't be ready for the fight in Jan. And even delaying the fight twice against Wlad. Either show facts and proof or you're going on my ignore list and won't be able to respond to the topic. I don't have time for ya'll racist today

There are links out there stating the opposite from this very site. I don't have time for "y'all racist" today either, but know this, Wilder fucking sucks

I wish boxing would decide if it wants to hold PED users accountable or not. It seems like as long as you are caught "out of season" (ie not on the day of the fight) you are good. The UFC has been doing 24/7/365 PED testing for almost a year now & if Francisco Vargas or Alexander Povetkin had been caught by their testing, even weeks or months before a fight, they would have been suspended for 6mos to a year probably.

I'd honestly be fine with either all PEDs all day or no PEDs 24/7/365, but this current system is highly flawed. Lets figure something out once & for all.

Wilder was ready to give in to all accommodations for the challenger. Delay after delay. A controversial insistence on the fight being in Russia. And still, the man feels the need to take illegal substances to further his chances.

I SMELL PUSSY

Judging by the pick-and-choose approach of the governing bodies, I'd have to assume some under-the-table **** is going on.

Man wtf boxing can't catch a break. *** povetkin. Why aren't they cancelling Vargas salido

The WBC does have 24/7/365 testing for all their fighters in he top 15. It'll be interesting to see which fighters mysteriously drop out of the rankings

This is racism

Is there any Russian athlete that isn't on some performance enhancing drug? It's now all out in the open that the Russians at the Winter Games were all, or nearly all, pumped up on one drug or another.

Like many PED users, Povetkin has balls the size of peanuts.
