Wilder always takes the path of least resistance. The man will go down in history as a glass jawed coward.
It is a lot of money to give up. It's his choice though. Wilder would have beaten him comfortably anyway
Doesn't matter how much political like spin pedvetkin fanboys put on this, he's reputation is ruined as a drug cheat. This is just the first couple stages of grief, denial and anger. Next will be bargaining trying to make believe everything is ok, when that's rejected by the public at large you'll move on to final stages, depression and acceptance.
--Knocked out badly by an unknown LHW in amatuers --ALSO, OUTBOXED badly by a Polish Sausage in the amatuers --Squeaked by with a bronze medal somehow in the Olympics --Put down by morbidly obese Dustin "Big Worm" Nichols with a "Check-Jab" --Put down heavily and almost out by career loser Harold "Hard Roc" Sconiers --Built much of his career by beating sad corpses like Harrison and Lyakhovich --Brought in personal friend Malik Scott to take an obvious dive --Did not fight the real champ for his "title" but a Don King manufactured Buffet champion --Knocked down by 2 Wlad jabs and OUT with one medium left hook in sparring --Destroyed and almost ktfo'd by Haye in sparring --Rocked heavily by a Firtha jab --Could not defeat a very ill Stiverne as convincingly as Demetrice King --Could not even knock a very ill Stiverne down like Rossy --Some of the most shameful opponents for his "title defenses" that the world has ever seen, showing his low self esteem --Rocked badly and almost out vs substitute teacher Molina ("Drummer Boy") --He did not perform as well agasint Molina as Arreola OR ASHANTI JORDAN, both of whom knocked him out in 1 --Eye busted up and made to look like a gargoyle by Duhaupas ("The Reptile"), a French pastry chef --Sold as a nice guy, but actually spends his time beating up hookers and mental patient Charlie Zelenoff, who are ironically his best opponents --Dispresects great fighters like Tyson and Klitschko --Now trying to claim that Fury's "courageous" win somehow makes him champion. --Avoiding Povetkin like the plague --Seems to be using a new tactic,probably to mask steroid use, of not allowing his pathetic opponents a full camp --Was considering Wawryck, knocked out in 3 by his mandatory, as an opponent --Offered a shot to Adamek, a shot to pieces 39 year old former LHW who is 1-2 in his last three, but only allowed him a 6 week camp. --Avoided Briggs and Bronco Billy Wright, shot fighters who carry AARP cards --Will fight an unemployed Soccer Hooligan named Szpilka? on 4 weeks notice, and will underpay him, overfeed and hooker him up --Wilder's team, the "Burger Squad", keeps removing and scrubbing the Internet of all of his shameful knockdowns and ktfo's; mostly while attempting a bad attempt at the "Ali Shuffle", which will now be called the "Burger Bungle". --Got punked out badly by unemployed, fur coat wearing soccer hooligan Spzilka at face off for their upcoming "title" fight -- Was being outclassed by undersized, unemployed, glorified bum, fur coat wearing, soccer hooligan Spzilka for 9 rounds -- Was clearly intimidated by Tyson Fury after landing a lucky punch against undersized, unemployed, glorified bum, fur coat wearing, soccer hooligan Spzilka -- When intimidated by Fury, had to resort to his pathetic catchphrase, causing embarrassment to, and for, everyone associated with the Wilder camp. -Now is again avoiding Povetkin like the plague and will likely be stripped of his title; but Uncle Al will give him a worthless,* manufactured PBC belt. -Tried to fight the CAN Martin in a title unification match, but the WBC refused to allow the fight, and that Wilder fight his mandatory; then team Bronze Burger attempted to get Povetkin to fight Martin, but he regused; just another pitiful attempt to duck Povetkin.* -Wilder skips leg day, resulting in pitiful 14" calves on a 6'7 man, which produce the funniest chicken dances and future ktfo's ever.
Just to repeat for the stupid Wilder fans, Povetkin did not fail the test per WADA, read my opening post for proof, and Wilder has skipped bail only. A warrant will soon be out for 230lb of Bama chicken. And if he thinks he's fighting anybody else he is sorely mistaken.
Wilder ducked his first top 10 ranked HW opponent Well done Most of the fans are really annoyed right now
He failed, coming up with a banned substance is the exact definition of failing. My gawd, can't fix going full re****.
You failed to mention that Povetkin passed three consecutive tests and failed the fourth. The issue is what happened in between the tests. Many people think he didn't flush good enough and left a trace. Wilder nor his team owes Povetkin or his team nothing. He came prepared, free of drugs and ready to rumble. Povetkin and his team dropped the ball in a big way and now they are looking for some understanding. That's like catching a man with a gun who preparing to shoot you, but he gets busted and he starts looking to you for sympathy. No way.
