And first Ortiz fight was canceled due to him testing dirty.
And it's disingenuous to pretend that Deontay didn't have trouble fighting people for the same reason guys like GGG do. They're high risk, low reward fighters.
The US isn't like Britain which rolled out the red carpet for guys like Joshua & Khan.
Nobody really cared about boxing in America if it wasn't Floyd, De La Hoya, or Pacquiao for many years, so there was no money or reason to fight a guy like Wilder.
All Joshua has said is how irrelevant Wilder is in his homecountry and that was true up until about 2 years ago, when Haymon finally started getting him fights at the Barclays with more media coverage.

Wilder also banned Ortiz meds and he didn't pass his pre fight physical and almost beat wilder. Does this also take away from wilders career or is it strictly limited to Povetkin as the cause of such a abysmal career of ten years?
The U.S isn't like anything if the HW champ fights the guys he's fighting while being protected in Barclays center with no promotion or in Alabama .

Like I said, he's a high-risk low reward fighter because of his power, but lack of star power.
Those types of fighters always have trouble getting big fights.
GGG suffered from the same fate. It's disingenuous just like when the anti-GGG people do it, when they know most promoters steer their fighters away from guys like that.
