I agree. His handlers have big pockets so they will organize some fightnights for him in Moscow vs. contenders but I seriously hope he is out of title fight contention.
Ortiz only really wants the cash so he could prob be tempted by a decent offer. He's also a contender who couldn't mouth off too much about the failed drugs tests having been busted himself.
He only has himself to blame for being frozen out. Anyone that wants to duck him has the perfect reason for not taking the fight and the majority of fans will agree. Do we really want to see a cheater get a title shot, is that the kind of image we want to portray that in boxing even if you cheat you'll still get your shot?
Promised a lot delivered little.got a lot of fans on this forum .probably finished outside Russia now which is a pity was looking forward to him facing some big names.
If he does get a title shot, he may as well be allowed to openly have PED injections during round breaks lol. It's like a weapon and it sends a bad message out like you say. Next, we'll be seeing the return of the 'Margaritto hand wraps'. I don't think too many will be avoiding Povetkin though, he's bound to get another big fight surely.
