    That isn't really a lot though and the time line is all mixed up. Let's be honest too the testing in a lot of places in europe isn't half as good as the states, though the states has had histories of covering it up I can only imagine how many cover ups there have been in europe, especialy the poorer countries.

    No, but it's extremely rich of them to do so given how many of them have been popped for PEDs.

    That's the lowest, pettiest level of trash-talking. Accuse your possible opponent with PEDs when you have no clue how he trains or what he trains with.

    Could be the US is better at catching drug cheats and possibly doing something about it ( although not much just ask James Toney )

    At least 3 of the fighters on that list were popped in the UK but they never got caught in the US even though they fought most of their careers over there or fought much more over there than they did over here.

    Povetkin has been subjected to OSDT for most of his career over in Germany.

    A tap on the wrist? lol

    Bull ****. I'm a fan of both of them.

    I am fairly certain both aren't on roids. Povetkin was a chubby **** against Huck, he was out of shape. It's not hard to go from a chubby **** to a cut build in a little over 3 years since the Huck fight.

    Wilder is still considered pretty thin. I doubt he's juicing, if anyone is juicing in the league I think it's Anthony Joshua.. I know he was a bodybuilder but jeez, it'd be pretty naive to not even be slightly suspicious.

    I think the UK does a good job. And when were they caught? Did they get caught early in their careers and stop, or was it during their latter part of their careers when they were potentially taking them to try to get back into their prime form? For the record I'm talking more about Russia, Ukraine etc, and I know Russia is obviously not poor. Basically a lot of eastern europe seems sketchy to me. Just my opinion.

    He also said he will take any test anywhere.
    Povetkin is confident he can pass any test.

    if this is true, he should do it, wilder has no excuse and is a straight duck ***** if he doesnt fight after povetkin takes a test where he requests.

    Guillermo Jones was caught when he fought Johnny Nelson.

    Stevie Johnson was caught when he fought Billy Schwer.

    And I think Vince Philips was caught when he fought Ricky Hatton.

    America is seriously sketchy. lol

    Practically all top fighters are on the **** anyway and my guess Wilder is too.

    I guess Pulev becomes American because of his pre-Klitschko fight rhetoric at least according to Serge.

    How many Bulgarian boxers have been popped for doing PEDs?

    And I didn't say American fighters are the only ones who throw about these accusations or indeed are the only ones who juice. Quit being so defensive or I'll send you on a vacation to Ban Central.
