Povetkin and Wilder disappoint me

[Larry the boss]

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.

Yea you have to be trolling, not a big deal?? boxers already risk their lives in the ring and now you want them getting hit in the head by fighters who are roiding? thats disgusting man..how about you step in the ring and the we will see how you feel

Oh really? I'll tell you what...why don't you get in there with a guy that took a BAN substance to kick your ARSE! There are vitamins & minerals & natural foods that you can take for improving stamina & endurance. I should know, I am a trainer & I instruct my fighters to take these natural products instead of banned substances....Unbelievable!!!

Wait, so you're upset that Wilder went through negotiations, a purse bid, didn't vacate the belt, trained in the uk before going to Russia, didn't complain after the purse bid, passed his drug tests, had an opponent who failed his by trying to be sneaky and decides to not fight him and that's why you're upset with him?

It ain't even about who you're a fan of, but to be upset with Wilder is odd to say the least

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.

Huh? Wilder is damn right for saying the fight should be cancelled. Povetkin should be banned.

you're ******.... of course the fight should be off... let povetkin do his time (ban) and let him cycle off that nonsense before even thinking about getting ANY fight.

Yeah to be upset with Deontay is dumb...I do wish he was like '**** this, I'll beat him anyway" but why would anyone give someone that advantage over them?

Exactly. Wilder has done nothing wrong here.

[Tom Cruise]

lol Wilder has done nothing wrong...

Povetkin cheated. No idea why the fight was resheduled rather than cancelled by the WBC (well, i do.. $$$) but Povetkin should be banned.

We are all dissapointed the fight isnt happening, but we arent the ones who are gonna be in the ring trading punches with this guy.

Hopefully Wilder can find a decent opponent for his next fight and get in the ring with Joshua, Fury, Haye etc sooner rather than later. Feel bad for him

He's in a win win situation, and imo chose the correct option.

Absolutely nothing.

I get not being a fan of his. I'm not worried about that, but to be upset that he isn't going through with a fight where his opponent cheated on purpose is baffling.

I would call it sad, not baffling. The racist trolls, you know what they are about so they can be ignored.

It's upsetting when solid posters want to give Povetkin every chance to prove himself clean when they never do that with others that have tested positive, especially when its VADA testing involved.
