Is Wilder a coward?

I'm not saying Wilder is a coward, but his decision to withdrawal from a temporary post poned fight against a fighter perceived by some to be his first stern test could indicate a reluctance of bravery. What are your thoughts?

 

Yes he is! Wasn't it obvious from what he's done recently?

 

He lost out on the purse bid. His opponent failed a drug test. He lost out on a 4-5 million dollar pay day. He wasted his time and money training. Yeah...was scared to fight Pov.

Signed to fight his highly rated mandatory in the dubious climes of Moscow, despite everyone saying he'd vacate his belt?

 

I'm not sure he has any say who he fights if he wants to continue trying to achieve his goals. Any clown on the internet that hints in any direction as to any pro athletes courage, especially fighting are the biggest trolls and couldn't had ever competed physically in any sport in your pathetic ****ing lives.

I'm not calling you are troll, but are you a troll since you fit the description to the Tee

 

I'm not so sure that is accurate.

And I never questioned Wilder's courage, that is your impression.

 

Is that your final argument? You believe Wilder was scared?

 

Brave enough to sign a contract?

Hmmmmm

 

Perhaps you noticed his opponent failed a drug test?

 

Are you leaving out any details? I heard there was more to the story, like the drug found, how much was found, the circumstances, and no official cancelation from the WBC. I'm not saying you deliberately simplified the facts, maybe you just left out details that paint a broader picture.

 

hes a rich coward

 

No. Dude was ready to travel and fight. Povetkin messed up.

While I would've given him extra credit for going through with it, there's no fair way to hold this against him.

That said, his team is making a mistake if they hold him out until late fall IMO. If he's ready to fight, may as well take on someone over the summer to recoup some of that so it's not a total loss.

 

Rich as in he had friends and family that love him or rich in a material way? Or do you mean he had an abundance of cowardness?

 

Look, Wilder is a fighter, not a biochemist. He's heard the guy's failed a test. He hasn't read 500 contradictory pseudo expert opinions on the efficacy of the drug, or the active dosages. He doesn't want to fight someone who, according to people who know a **** load more than he does, cheated. That's all there is to it.
