Comments Thread For: Povetkin Questions Whether Wilder Actually Intended To Fight Him

[Larry the boss]

did yall have a problem with floyd using a iv maneuver deemed a ped masking technique by the WORLD ANTI DOPING ASSOCIATION? a technique popluraized by lance armstrong???

of course yall didnt....

IV was not illegal at all man, hence the Nevada state commision and USADA did not punish him..POVETKIN FAILED A DAMN DRUG TEST STOP DEFLECTING

[Rip Chudd]

im not deflecting anything.

im pointing out certain fanbases hypocrisy and double standards.

Then don't quote me when talking about floyd, i'm not a fan. I respect his skills, but that's where it ends.

[bigjavi973]

just wow....

there was ZERO/NADA/NOTHING/ZILCH found in his three previous tests.... some trace amount is found in the fourth test....

I just dont get how is that hard to understand. Whether it was "within", I find that excuse laughable really, DOES NOT MATTER. Again, he has three previous tests where nothing was found and his more recent test found something.

I got two words for ya:

COMMON SENSE

[DeadLikeMe]

How does every thread turn into devastated Manny fans crying about Floyd?

[Mfalme]

This is ridiculous, i am far from a Wilder fan but DAMN!!!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PERSON TEST POSITIVE AND BLAME THE OTHER FIGHTER, AND WHAT MAKES IT WORSE THERE ARE POSTERS ON HERE WHO ACTUALLY TAKE POVETKINS SIDE!!!!

Crazy, right? I can't comprehend the logic.

[vitali1999]

WBC mandated Wilder face a real fighter cause Povetkin is ranked #1. So yes Povetkin is right cause you see what wilder choices are but he chooses, arreola. While Joshua fights the real fighters, Martin and Breazeale both big and unbeaten

It's Threads like this that show me first hand why boxing is dying.

You failed this thesis right from the get go. The 0.07 figure came from Ryabinsky. Not even going to bother to read the rest of that tripe.

Na, that's what you're telling yourself, that this is the reason you're not reading. You're lying to yourself. You're not reading because you know your whole defense of Wilder that my post destroyed hangs on you believing the lie that Povetkin had more than the allowed 1 microgram in his system, and that reading my post would expose to you that he didn't have more than 1 microgram.

Sorry, but covering your eyes and your ears and singing Adrien Broner's greatest hits as loud as you can is not going to shield you from the truth. People like me are just going to keep exposing it and exposing that you are ignoring the facts on purpose because you don't want to admit your fighter ducks. Of course he ducks! He's a Haymon fighter! Now let's disprove your only defense:

The 0.07 figure came from Ryabinsky.

Wrong again. http://www.boxingscene.com/povetkins...months--105068

Sample A revealed that the body system of the 36-year-old Russian fighter contained a low concentration of 0.07 micrograms.

And now from the article we're commenting on.

In both samples the level of meldonium was EXTREMELY MINOR.

So Povetkin's promoter said it was 0.07 micrograms, and no one refuted his claim. Then boxingscene backed up that it was 0.07 micrograms. And now boxingscene has knowledge of the B sample also, sand says the levels in both samples was extremely minor.

But you still think it was over the limit lol? Some of you guys, man, all I can say is no wonder Donald Trump is so popular. You are his target voter, immune to facts.

Look, it's time to find a new fighter to support. I recommend fighters like Sergey Kovalev who even try to fight the most dangerous guys like Artur Beterbiev in their homecoming fights! That's a real warrior. He went from targeting Stevenson, to fighting BHOP, to fighting Pascal, to targeting Beterbiev, to now fighting Ward if Ward doesn't pull out. If all of them had fought him, that means he would have fought Stevenson, BHop, Pascal, Beterbiev, and Ward back to back. That's the best opponent list/attempted opponent list in a row we've seen in boxing the last decade. That kind of daring to be great is what boxing fans should support, not duckers who drop out of fights over "dirty" drug tests that turn out to be not even 10% of a dirty test, a full 93% below the allowable limit, totally microscopic and legal.

Come on yall, put boxing first for once. Stop supporting duckers just because they're the same skin color as you! Yall better than that!

Gutless bytch didn't have the balls to fight fair so he decided to cheat, then tries to question the courage of his opponent??

[Snoop Frog]

The drug cheat Povetkin should be thankful he hasn't been banned for a long time.
