    He could be. I read he is now in an elite group of successful fighters who failed drug tests with the likes of Holyfield, Roy Jones, Toney, and more. I might be wrong though, what is your take?

    You think? I don't know, what are the degrees of cheating to the individual? A supplement he says, a steroid they say.

    What is elite to you may not be elite to others.

    This may boost Wlad's legacy, preventing an elite drug abuser from winning World title.

    Well I'm sure Povetkin has been on it since Russia doesn't care about their athletes being dirty and that supplement he took had a steroid in it it was mainly a fat burner but hey Povetkin was supposed to be the clean athlete right lol

    Maybe.

    Right, Roy was not caught with a steroid, it was a supplement that contained steroids. It wasn't a performance enhancer, it just burned fat that allowed for enhanced performance. We might see eye to eye.

    elite means a small handful who are superior to (ie can beat) all the others. There is no other meaning to it in general use, though I don't rule out other meanings such as a personal one you may have.


    Pov has yet to prove he can beat all the others.

    It's subjective. Nobody has proven they can beat all others in the literal sense.

    So when Povetkin gets knocked out, you'll list all the ATG greats that got knocked the **** out too? Pathetic deflection.

    The words meaning isn't subjective, but it can be bent.
