Then figure out the way to beat him Pulev. Problem is, Pulev doesn't have the punch to beat Wladimir, and he isn't going to be able to outbox him. Robotic or not, Wladimor is going to flatten him within the distance.
Sigh, Pulev makes excellent points about this noble sport being corrupted by money....and your first comment is that Pulev should get a better contract with more money! If this attitude is the typical fan's attitude, then honest sport is ****ed!
There's plenty that's suspicious about Wlad. Not least of which is that the testing regime he is under is insufficient, as Pulev implies. Looking good physically is no excuse--juiced athletes tend to look good. PEDs (such as EPO) related to oxygen-carrying capacity are likely used in all divisions. In the heavyweight division there's an added difficulty related to steroid use. Do you think it's a coincidence that Wach was able to take punches from Wlad all night and then tested positive the night after? This is relevant to Pulev--if he can't hurt Wlad, he can't win this fight.
Wlad's body has looked almost the same for about 20yrs. From his pro debut in 96' he has added only 20+lbs, from ages 18-38, hardly anything suspicious about that. Has always been in good shape, which is something that is easier(yet requires great determination and commitment) then being naturally over weight and flabby and losing the fat. Don't expect to see Fury to lose those extra lbs any time soon. When have you ever heard stories of him out partying for days at a time or wasting his time gambling or other useless vices. Because a big guy is muscular doesn't mean their on roids. Tons of NBA and NFL players are muscular as **** and over 6'5. It's pretty funny that if you're ripped at the ripe old age of 38, you're a juicer. Especially when you consider it's in the better interest of your brief lucrative livelihood to keep and maintain your optimum physical shape. Wach was on roids and his body still looked like ****.. I also doubt Wlads gameplan is to take steroids so he can absorb the amount of punishment Wach took or be in a slugfest. His gameplan is to hit and not be hit, control distance. All he can do is pass every test that is given to him until he fails. He's not walking around with a Barry Bonds head, lol. The testing regime he is under my be insufficient while compared to some others, but it is as well regulated as the majority of other boxers and still sufficient enough to catch others, while being hailed by many as one of the worlds most trusted PED testers. Until someone has sufficient evidence and better accusations, you could call this card on every boxer. Making these extra testings mandatory and more frequent and random should lie in the hands of the Orgs and the sporting authority in the countries the fights take place.
It's way, way more about having great chin and will than being on gear. They all are on and it's hilarious if Bulgarian happens to be the exception!
If only that Tommy Morrison had known about performance enhancing drugs during his fabled career. Bulgaria was invaded by cyborgs during WWII. The wound is still healing from this, Boggle. Be more sensitive.
NBA and NFL don`t quite give a fack about doping. They normally fine players or ban them for a few games.
This is exactly what I expected. All Wlad`s lickballsters would talk about shitty contracts, won bids, money, managers ... boxing is dying. Pulev asked a simple question - why not do everything clear, honest, clean and transparent. I aslo want to know that. What might be the reason to disagree with random testing at any time? If you are making millions per year you owe this to your fans. You will never be recognized as the greatest if you act like a p.ssy.
Gotta give props to Pulev, man. Certainly put Wlad, and his German cronies in their place. Corruption is all what the Klitchsko camp are about. Hopefully when Kubrat beats Wlad, we get the rematch of the century. Dimitrenko wants his rematch, and there's nothing better with a title shot on the line.
