Povetkin and Wilder disappoint me

How the fuck can you have any problem with Wilder? he did nothing wrong. his opponent cheated.

Wilder may not be that good IMO, but Povetkin felt he needed to cheat to beat him.

I'm a fan of Wilder and I consider him among the 4 most dangerous boxers at heavyweight, together with Fury, Joshua and Ortiz. But he never seemed too interested in stepping up, except when he fought Stiverne. This is all Povetkin's fault for being a cheater and yes, Wilder would destroy him, with or without roids, which is exactly why I feel that yes, Wilder IS doing something wrong now. He could have improved his resume a lot, proven his worth and given the fans the fight that they wanted to see, but a few drugs get involved and now Wilder is out... That annoys me.

what the fuck does his resume have to do with this situation? No, he hasn't fought anyone but STtvernne. But he signed up for this and was going to Russia to defend.

you are holding against him not wanting to fight a dirty fighter that got caught cheating. That is disgraceful on your part.

Honestly, it isn't such a big deal to use illegal substances. You're a bit of a coward for doing it, but it doesn't take your game to new levels at all. I think it should be allowed to take illegal substances in boxing, just for the sake of things like this not happening.

First, I had the feeling that Wilder didn't want to fight anyone good since his win against Stiverne. Then he agreed to fight Povetkin, even in Russia, which impressed me a lot. Then Povetkin turned out to be on illegal substances and the fight would be rescheduled. That disappointed me a lot. Povetkin was the coward, not Wilder. Then, Wilder suddenly want the fight cancelled instead of rescheduled... And I'm like... **** them both. They're good boxers, but they show no respect to the fans. This would have been an epic fight to watch, but it's all ruined because both of them are so damned unprofessional.

Then proceed to spends most of his time directing his anger at Wilder than the guy who failed the drug test.

We have a very disturbing "element" in this sport's fan base that must be challenge at the lease and eradicated at the most.

Since when do fighters caught cheating get to reschedule fights?

**johnm is...** · 05-16-2016, 10:22 AM

I would imagine Wilder will still fight him. I don't imagine he would still fight him in Russia.

"Can we just reschedule to a time when I'm NOT cheating?"
