    Wilder to the point that he used a banned substance, and now Canelo who says that he's vacating because he won't go by the WBC's deadlines.

    Canelo says that he still wants to make the GG fight while Povetkin still wanted to fight with the substance in his system.


    Who is the bigger wuss in the sport today? Povetkin or Canelo?

    Povetkin. No contest here. I can't blame Canelo for not fighting his b side, a guy who isn't a PPV star like himself at 160. Why give a guy who need you a lot more than you need him an advantage. Canelo doesn't need GGG at all. He is still going to be a PPV star. Something GGG will never be. Canelo did the right thing in giving the belt up.

    Povetkin on the other hand was scared to death, that's why he doped up on drugs.

    GG loses out on winning the lineal title if he never fights Canelo. But Canelo should've made this fight. If GG isn't his next fight then I will lose respect for Canelo.

    GG didn't do anything wrong so you can't blame him. He became the mandatory, and Canelo vacated.

    It's a hard call, Povetkin is a cheating scumbag, but he was most likely micro dosing, since the meldonium levels were so low, maybe he was stupid enough to think he could avoid detection, Canelo on the other hand is just a straight up b****.

    They both realized they had a high probability of being KTFO waiting for them, and chose the easy way out.

    These PEDs have nothing to do with Wilder, they admitted to using it before Wilder for the Wach fight, and keep in mind it was legal for a long time so he had no reason not to take them before (unless fearing a retrospective ban if that's even possible).

    He along with many boxers and athletes were told that Meldonium would be listed as a PED...and he was passing his tests until the failed test. He had reason to stop and he did until he started up again. He couldn't have been taking non beneficial nanograms of Meldonium because why take something when it wouldn't benefit you? I believe he used it and tried to mask it's effects.

    Povetkin is no rambo or anything like that either though, even discarding this fight. Wlad had to chase him down for years before he accepted.

    Did GGG ask for a 55-45 split? Is this true, because if he did...then I can see why Canelo would vacate. Here goes this purse bid **** again.

    Povetkin, who fought top fighters and champs like Huck, Klitschko and Chagaev is scared of Wilder, who got outboxed by Szpilka for the whole fight, who went life and death with Molina and Duhaupas and who fought Jason Gavern in his 32 th pro fight?

    Good joke :lol:
