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

[ThumperMcDougal]

Called spot on before it was OFFICIALLY announced. Green K for you.

Real fans will continue to be excited that this huge fight will still happen, and eyes will be on Povetkin to be on his best behavior.

"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.

**** you Povetkin.

If Wilder fights a bum, he should just drop the title

So now spin this on Wilder. Get your f@ggot ass outta here. If that dude never cheated we wouldn't be having this discussion f@ggot

Dude you can't just make these type of moral ground arguments when it comes to this situation.

This was not an anabolic steroid and it was fully legal last year. The trace amounts found are within the Margin of Error of these tests and it is impossible to have so little in your blood after testing clean a couple of weeks before.

This isn't a black and white issue as you imply; the drug testing agency who banned this drug in January handled this ban terribly.

I guarantee you if this was black and white, Wilder's people would have had a much stronger presence in the media the past few days and the WBC would not have needed so long to "postpone" (not even cancel).

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

I didn't think I was making it into a black/white thing. If I come off that way, I don't intend to. All I'm saying, is Povetkin knew what he had to do. All he had to do was p!ss clean. The fact that he passed 3 tests, and failed the one right before the fight rubs people the wrong way. It's disrespectful to the WBC, the fighters, the fans, boxing as a whole, and himself.

All I'm trying to say, is he let the whole world know he is the one ducking. No black or white issue, just lots of lost respect for Povetkin.

conspiracy by haymon imo

FFS!!!!!! **** Povetkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Povetkin should fire his strenght/conditioning coach and get another one....
I hope this fight gets resheduled soon, it shouldnt take long for that low amount to leave his system completely. BTW this drug is no big deal anyway. It does no wonders. Im sure there are lots of other peds out there that cant be dtected yet. I mean look at Joshua.....im sure he takes something but i dont blame him this is how the game works.
