    He never took any juice SMH. he took meldonium, which was completely LEGAL up until 2017, which WADA mysteriously decided to ban, which was only taken by Russian athletes, u might remember Maria Sharapova the tennis player took it as well. They pulled a fast one on the Russian atheletes, it was definitely a political move.

    do u know what meldonium actually is? it's an over the counter medication in russia that even children take. sounds pretty potent lol.

    Stole the show versus Hunter a bit on Saturday.. cracking fight, just watched it back.. Had Hunter edging it.. but fair play at his age for still bringing it & competing at world level.. I would have liked to have seen Povetkin at CW early on in his career too.. would have been interesting.. he's a juice head but so are all of em .. quality career overall.. Charr performance sticks out for me.. he was brutal that night & showed real skill..

    Probably one of the best HWs of recent years to never win a legit world title.

    What's Povetkin's best win on paper? Chageav? Lucas Bowne says hi. Least the Russian lasted until the 7th round against the bodybuilder. That was the very round Joshua was getting clobbered into oblivion by that relentless blob!

    The majority of the top 10 to top 20 at HW has either failed a PED test or has been on a TUE mate. Lets be reeeeeeeeeal here.

    Plenty of fat HWs who have failed PED tests in the top 10- top 20 too.

    Miller was caught with the entire medicine cabinet inside him and is grossly overweight.

    He wasn´t always as disciplined earlier in his career, he was out of shape vs Huck and I think I saw another really lazy effort vs some bum. But still one of my favourite HWs, skilled tough and violent.
