Except Wlad of course...

If we could be 100% sure he was clean i might be bothered about povetkin. As it is, the dirty cheat can rot in the same hell as ortiz and fury for all i care.

You should stick to only watching school boy boxing if you don't like peds in boxing.

Povetkin is very talented, and I agree with Mansour.

On the PEDs subject, I'm starting to have some questions about the entire system. With these huge fines boxers have to pay for breaking protocol, who gets the fine money? If the sanctioning body gets it, IMO that isn't far removed from a pay-off. And then we go a step further... what of the testing company? Are they being paid to 'fix' the test result? Granted, clean is the only way, but with so many boxers getting 'caught' lately, and many of them being shocked they were caught... thinking they were clean... I'm wondering if the sanctioning bodies and the testing companies are doing some under the table dealing with each other to make each more money. I hope that isn't the case, but at this point, does anyone know for 100% certain what's up?

Pedvetkin looking a bit soft, coming off those PED's must be hard.

I think its to late now, Povetkin is slipping now, not in his prime anymore.

Why? Takam is even smaller and he give Joshua major problems.

Povetkin showed he was better than Takam in their fight and we know Takam gave a good account of himself against Joshua, but he did still lose every round. If we're talking about the possibility of being dominant in the division, which in line with the article implies he is better than any other on his day, I think his size rather than his ability is his achilles heal in achieving this. I actually think he gives Wilder a very hard nights work though, even with the size differential, because his fundamentals are just soo good, even so, I think Wilders size/power might be a little too much. Joshua's boxing is very sound and he has every other attribute on his side, so thats the one I can see standing between Mansours claim and reality.

If only he could lay off the juice.

Yep. The Big Question.
