Comments Thread For: Wilder vs. Povetkin Heavyweight Title Fight Officially Postponed

[Combat Talk Radio]

"Real fans" also respect gladiators who don't play games. Men who don't use excuses and that get in the ring and fight. I think there's many real fans that would rather see the WBC title defended to someone who takes it serious.

Povetkin wanted the fight. Wilder wanted the fight.

Povetkin tested for a substance that is NOT anabolic.

If he'd tested positive for weed would you still want it off despite no evidence weed gives you an advantage?

At some point boxing in general needs to start putting its foot down. Ban the REAL cheaters.

ffs i was looking forward to this..
conspiracy by haymon imo

How is this Haymon's fault? Povetkin is not a Haymon fighter, WADA/VADA have nothing to do with Haymon.

exactly. he knows wilder will/would lose. first he tried to pay off the wbc to get martin v wilder then he tried to get povetkin to fight martin.
they all know wilder has to KO povetkin cold to win in russia, proctecting his main asset by spiking the russian with his drug spiking doubleagents

They should let the fight go on anyway. Wilders got 5 inches on the guy, like that's fare.

So you condone cheating? You need to be thrown off a bridge

Where is TudorMiran and the guy with the three forward slashes /// for a username? Still going to defend Povetkin???? Povetkin needs to be banned now! Glad to see Wilder is clean. Makes you appreciate clean athletes even more.

This is a joke, right????????

[BillyBoxing]

LOL"!

Maria will probably get off easy.

Whole country of Russia been on "ped probation" since last summer and things get worse and worse.

Still no one will have the guts to kick them out of the Olympics.

Lol some russians get caught and we should ban them. Why not banning usa who has more history than any country in cheating.

Especially in boxing, last time i checked. Holyfiled jones mosley vargas tarver berto toney ain t no some eastern russians.

Not to mention floyd smelling IV. Who believes this joke ?

[TripleGFightFan]

They don't want the white man to cheat to succeed.

but that's been going on since the caucus mountains.

[Derranged]

Rules are rules. Fight cancelled, 1 year suspension.

[KingTito]

Can't say I disagree with the decision, but this is terrible.

[monkeyboy]

Rules are rules. Fight cancelled, 1 year suspension.

Agreed!

Do I think Wilder is clean? Nope! Do I think any top fighter is clean? Nope! Top athletes all are well advised on how best to cheat.

But!!!!

Get caught, you should be finished! Rampant drug use needs to be stopped as otherwise it's just an arms race with the best drug enhancements (and most reliable testing blinds and avoidance protocols) going to the richest athletes.

Povetkin and Russian athletes need banning for however long it takes for them to clean up. It all needs sorting out with strict, state of the art, year round testing protocols being applied to all top ten fighters for all belt organizations.
