    Wilder avoids him. Joshua won't never fight him and Wlad has maybe 2 fights left before he retires. Parker or Haye? Not gonna happen.

    Povetkin is the beast and best heavyweight out there. Its shame those big names don't want to fight him.

    There must be a reason why he can't get any big fights. Why have his last few high profile fights fallen through. Someone must know why? It's a real mystery.

    Well if that's true then at least they have the decency to pretend they aren't and cycle properly. If they're all getting away with it then why can't Povetkin?

    If everyone's cheating like you say they are then he's a moron in comparison to he rest of the field anyway so the answer is Povetkin is too stupid to land a big fight.

    No he shouldn't Ortiz was popped twice and with harder drugs. He should face a suspension of 6 months to a year. Whichever at his age effectively removes him anyway from big fights down the line. That should happen if it's proven after the investigation that he did indeed take ostareen knowingly

    I seriously hope he won't get any major title-fight anymore.

    Ah that puts that to bed then. I'd heard he'd had an out of date steak bake from Greggs and that had shown up in his horoscope or something but that sounds far more likely.

    Cheers for clearing that up!

    In all honesty I hope his B sample comes back clean. A lot of people don't pay him much attention, but the guy is freakishly talented. There are lots of great fights that could be made for him. Imagine Haye vs Povetkin, or how much hell he would of gave Wilder. Has anyone watched him win the gold medal off the same opponent Joshua won the gold medal off, Povetkin dominated him, and Joshua seriously struggled.

    Povetkin is DONE. When his "B" sample comes back dirty, and it will, the WBC are gonna wash their hands of him and I suspect the other sanctioning outfits will follow suit. Nobody worth fighting will come anywhere near this guy.

    if he can't get any big fights he should do to wilder what ali did to liston and abuse him until he takes a fight

    employ disabled kids, to poo on wilders doorstep everyday, shout obscenities at him when he is taken he's children to school, hack he's emails and expose wilders crimes
