Comments Thread For: Wilder Admits Struggle To Move Past Povetkin Fallout, Depression

[A.K]

What he means is this would of been his biggest test and a must if he ever wants to face the top guys at hw and it's a shame it didn't happen cause he was ready.

Bull****. He keeps trying to sell the duck, like a politician saying "It was with much consideration and reluctance that I accepted this 5 million dollar donation from wall street, because I think I can help the people by giving them hope by seeing their fellow American live in a nice mansion!"

Yes, Wilder ducked so reluctantly, and is so depressed about ducking... Can't you all tell?

Boo****e!

How do you duck when the boxing organization cancels the fight? How do you duck a fighter who is being investigated for possible cheating? You speak as if Raybinsky's statements are gospel and offer the only possible scenario for the positive test. Still haven't read where you explained the 100% clean tests that preceded the positive test.

You know why he is depressed? Because the guilt of him having a role in this setup scam on Povetkin is starting to eat away at his soul. He's knows this is a HUGE bitch-made move and he was a sucker for letting people around him convince him to participate.

It must suck to bust your ass in training camp and get yourself mentally amped up for a huge fight...only to have nothing to show for it in the end. That has to drain your energy something awful.

Povetkin should be forced to pay for his pain and suffering plus training camp and travel costs.

So exactly how did he participate in this alleged set up? And if the tests are random, how did anyone set up Povetkin?

Dear lord Wilder whines. Now he's claiming depression. You didn't even fight dude! It's not like you fought and lost to a cheat. The guy cleearly just wants to make a big deal about this to see how much money he can get.

Just imagine how depressed he'll be if Arreola KO's him. But realistically Arreola has about 2 or 3 rounds to put Wilder out, after that Wilders punches are gonna start piling up and it will just be a matter of time before Manteca Man gets a bomb dropped on him and the lights are turned out

Lucky POS. The Boxing God's handed him down a gift with Povetkin testing positive and not having to fight a legitimate threat, that he has been holding out on till' the vary last minute, until it was no longer avoidable.

How could he have been cheating his whole career when the drug was only made illegal earlier this year?

And Ortiz was actually busted for roids, and you're calling for him and Wilder to fight? Jesus Christ.

Why even make the bolded an argument, my friend? It's not worth it.

Nandrolone, the drug Ortiz was busted for, is a natural horse hormone and was injected into horses to aid in recovery (sound familiar?). And it wasn't illegal because well, no one knew that athletes were using it. Once that was discovered, it was classified as a performance enhancer.

Same thing with this meldonium. Perfectly legal until they discovered athletes were using it for their own recovery and definitely not for some heart condition they had.

Who cares if it was only considered illegal recently? They were all hiding their use until they got caught and when your team admits that you had been using it without anyone's knowledge before it was considered illegal, I think people are well within reason to think you were a long-time cheater.

Wilder, Calm the *** down, it is not that serious, the fight got canceled, OK? You're depressed over that? My Goodness this ERA of fighters are as sensitive as their internet fans

Considering what Jack Johnson and Ali had to deal with, *** OFF with your Sad Story Wilder! People just want you to fight better competition if you want respect as a fighter ***ING EARN IT! I'm not giving Wilder, GGG or any other fighter the label of "GREATNESS" without them actually EARNING IT!
