no win situation. Critics said that he wouldn't take the fight, and he did. They said that if the fight went to a purse bid that he wouldn't go to Russia and that he would vacate the title. Wilder not only didn't vacate his title...he flew to England to get sparring and get used to the time zone...and didn't want to worry about getting poisoned in Russia. Wilder agreed to be tested by VADA. VADA catches Povetkin with Meldonium in his system AFTER he passed testing. Wilder loses out on a 4+ million dollar pay day, and Povetkins fans say that Pov only had trace amounts in his system and that Wilder. should keep training while Pov still has trace amounts of Meldonium in his system. Wilder will leave England before the WBC makes their judgement. The WBC makes their judgement on a Sunday and Wilder leaves the following Monday. Wilder was in a no win situation and if he won the fight...do you think that Povetkins fans would've accepted the loss. My answer is:
Many people suspected he would never get in the ring with someone like Povetkin and no matter who is to blame many ppl feel it's just a way to prolong his hype. Anyone with two eyes can see he's not very good. There is a reason his record is softer than baby poo
:huh I can't see how Wilder could not have gotten credit for beating Povetkin had he pounded him in a fight. With any luck we will still see Wilder / Povetkin. :hey
The reality is wilder could not run to america any quicker the wbc never passed a judgment declaring the fight was of it said it was postponed why then did wilder run? Wilder gave up on potential 6 mill pay for something so minor because he knew he would get knocked out. I knew wilder would run away and not fight povetkin and i was proven right
Pedvetkin fanboys are beyond delusional but they don't influence anything. Public opinion is on Wilder's side so he's in a good position despite this disappointment with Pedvetkin.
There is no, "no matter who is to blame"! Povetkin is to blame. And whether you think that he's good or not that's how I view Povetkin. I think Povetkin is trash and that he's BEEN cheating...but I have no proof and won't lie on the man.
Wilder was in a no win situation when it comes to haters, and with them you're always in a no win situation. Wilder walked away, that's fine, I don't have any problems with it.
The WBC postponed, and then eventually cancelled the fight until there is an investigation. Yet, you don't know or WADA doesn't know how long Meldonium stays in a fighters system. This is how every Povetkin fan sees this situation. They blame Wilder.:nut They still think that Wilder should've went on with the fight, and had Wilder lost, they wouldn't care about the trace amounts. The "it was only trace amounts" excuse would be thrown out quicker than garbage. they all think like the above poster. All of them!
If wilder won the fight i for one would of given him even more credit but he did not feel confident enough to win hence why he cried to the wbc. He even said if the wbc decide to give povetkin anther shot he would give up the belt do you support this cowardness? You **** on canelo but here wilder is wiling to do the same. The whole thing was made out to be a big thing and the fight should of gone ahead too much money involved but wilder let us down backing out. Povektin still wants to fight but wilder does not why?
