Wilder or Povetkin, who was at fault?

[JAB5239]

When the Wilder-Povetkin fight was cancelled because Sasha was found with illegal supplements in his his system Wilder took the heat from many for the fight being cancelled. After what happened with the Povetkin and the Stiverne fight to people still feel it was Wilders fault that fight didn't happen?

It's wilders fault because he mind ****ed pedvetkin into doping

[BrometheusBob.]

lmao people STILL ride Wilder for that.. it's ridiculous. You can't credit him for the fight because it never happened but you can acknowledge that Wilder accepted the fight against the challenger everyone wanted him to face and that the fight was cancelled due to circumstances entirely outside of his control.

Or it was WBC fault for sanctioning a fight for pedvetkin that he couldn't win...... everyone is to blame but pedvetkin

Both, mostly Povetkin but Wilder still should have went ahead with it, big payday and an opportunity to prove himself and gain some much needed credibility.

You see what this juiced up cvnt did to Duhuapas? This doping schit isn't a game. When the other guy tests dirty you shouldn't go anywhere near the ring.

Povetkin has now been proven to be a habitual cheater. There is no one to blame but him.

It's a shame that we have missed out on two good heavyweight fights just because he lacks honor.

Povetkin's superior technique would have been the greater threat.

Povetkin's superior technique would have been the greater threat.

And if that's true, he should have came into the ring clean and proven that.

Short of doing that, there is no reasonable thing Wilder can do other than to call off the fight. It is silly to expect anything else from a fighter when the other one gets popped.
