Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder's Handlers Reach Out To Alexander Ustinov

I understand what you're saying and I disagree with you. I think it's a grey zone but pro athletes will do anything to get an advantage in training. So many athletes around the world use different type of medications and painkillers to enhance performance legally. As long as it's not illegal I can't get mad and call him a cheater.

How can it be a grey zone if the only way its not cheating, is its not officially a banned activity? That's about as black and white as a definition can get, if not A then B. Here A is openly banned, and B is "not cheating".

Yeah because cheater Ortiz is facing nothing but killers.LMAO 45 year old senior citizen Tony Thompson who had lost 3out of his last 5 fights?? OK....oh wait he fights on HBO so this is acceptable
#CHEAT SQUAD!!!!

Correction he's not a belt holder so it's acceptable.

This reminds me of a joke about a guy who runs into a witch in the woods. The witch is stirring a brew guaranteed to enhance the guys athletic skill, but his sex life will suffer if he imbibes. That joke came to life.

This is nothing more than a ploy by Wilder's team to try to convince a skeptical public that Wilder is actually considering an opponent other than the glass-jawed Chris Arreola.

Ustinov's team will never get that proposal. Nor will Bermane Stiverne's team hear another word from Wilder's team. Wilder's team has already decided that he will be facing Arreola and they are trying to give some legitimacy to the decision.

...i actually am ok with arreola myself but thats just because of circumstance

I reallly don't give a shit about boxing politics, it's a business. I understand it, just have no interest. I just want to see entertaining fights. Therefore, I'm totally for the Arreola fight! The dude is nothing but entertainment, whether he's knocking some bum on the head or getting smacked around himself. I know it's not the most even matchup, but it has KO written all over it. We've already seen the Stiverne show...

You have to put medications, painkillers..etc in the grey zone because a lot of people still feel athletes should not be allowed to use different medications (even if it's legal) to improve their training. Personally I have no problem with it.

Why not reach out to Luis Ortiz instead of stealing food off his plate.

yeah right, the heavyweight 'champion' fighting someone who isnt a total can.

what a joke wilder is, we all know this would NEVER happen.
