Comments Thread For: Kovalev vs. Melikuziev Officially Canceled After Failed Drug Test

What a waste

It's okay, Kovalev doesn't exist to me after he agreed to get beaten by Canelo for cash anyways.

Sellout trash can melt off into obscurity as far as I am concerned.

Well at least it was not the first time he laid down for a fighter. He quit against Ward too in their rematch by complaining about low blows.

He could have continued but he was both tired and frustrated. So he looked for a way out by complaining to the referee about low blows.

So his performance against Canelo totally threw his case against Andre Ward out of the window. The man is a notorious quitter.

Uhmmmmm.........

I will agree to disagree. He was being low blowed, pretty clearly

Well, we will see what the "B" sample gives us, but I have yet to see that clear anyone.

I try generally to be consistent, but I will own I hold boxers who drug up more in contempt than other sports. In other sports, an athlete pops positive, faces their suspension, and I basically forget it unless they pop positive again. But in boxing? The whole point is to beat your opponent until their will crumbles. Boxers have died in the ring under the best of circumstances. That someone cheats to get even more of an impact than they naturally have just disgusts me. I refuse to buy into the gossip around boxers if they did not fail a test. People spreading crap about other humans without any proof is a TON of what is wrong in our discord these days. But when fighters do fail, I find myself unforgiving and cheering for them to lose everything afterwards. I will own my hypocrisy on this.

Again, let's see the "B" test results. But if, or more likely when, it fails I hope Kov slinks off to the shadows and we never have to deal with him again.

Name your top 10 favorite fighters past and present guarantee there's a few that have been busted on there for worse stuff but you still watch them.

Tye Fields NEVER took an illegal drug...well, I don't think he did anyway.

You seem so nice to him, and I like Kovalev too.

I can't imagine what you would have said if this was Davis? Heling him, with all your usual digs at him, plus this? You would've been fuming out of your nose.

Well that is true, may be a little too nice here. However this comparison is a bit off. Kovalev is at the tail end of his career, Davis is entering his prime so it would be far more upsetting if he popped, he doesn't need it at this point in his career. However I do believe Kovalev should be forced into retirement with a hefty suspension for his failure.
