All facts. Now, let's wait for the verdict and make render our judgements. And if the WBC does give Potvetkin a BAN for his Ostarine, they must also give BVerne the SAME ban for his amphetamine. Wilder should be made to fight certifiably clean Pulev. No chance Pulev wins purse bid, so Haymon can bring a legit top 5ish HW to America and FINALLY give Wilder a genuinely game challenger in a fight that Wilder would be only a minimal favorite to win and against a man who has one of the best resumes in the sport of this generation of HWs. Wilder's power will keep Pulev honest, and his length will offset Pulev's top HW jab. Wilder can throw his counter OH R over the top of Pulev's jab, put Kubrat on qu33r st, and get a certifiable top win at HW against a hungry, prime, legitimate HW contender. Pulev is this eras version of Tua, minus the L hook, but with far better skills, and just as good a chin.
and my reply to what you have said is the link you have posted are to misinformation and outdated wada transscripts directly designed to mis inform people. you know full well 1mg was the limit yet you keep lying, it is disgraceful how much you are lying.. and of course what wilder said was xenophobic , he said every person of a nationality is a liar and a cheat, thats basically the definition of xenophobic bigotry. how can you say wilder is not a xenophobic bigot with a straight face?
You dont know what to say about someone comparing this and that but base your logic on comparing shooting your oppoent with a gun to heart medicine? Pre work out- and energy drinks are not milkshakes. Theyre made in labs in order to enchance performance, BUT totally legal in most cases. So is protein shakes etc. Where do you draw the limit if not where the antidopingagency does? "Why were East German female athletes who were so pumped full of male hormones that they grew penises now allowed to let their records stand when they got caught?" How about that you for once provide a link for stupid arguments, growing penises?
Wilder was charged with aggravated assualt, a B felony in the state of Nevada. A wk before the fight, a check was written to a person who's name has been made anonymous and who signed an NDA, and then instantly, the victim withdrew her charges. We might not ever get to see Donald Trumps tax write offs, or exactly how much money Osama bin Laden paid the Clinton foundation to stave off the US invasion of Afganistan when US Navy Seals had lasers sighted on the man, but we can in fact trace the financials of professional fighters and read of monies paid in legal settlements as a matter of public record. Im NOT going to go digging for YOU, nearly 3 yrs after the FACT.....however, I will back you in your argument irt Potvetkins 2nd failed test and the WBCs ruling......that is....until they have ruled again. At which time, I will either back their ruling, or consider it a payoff duck.
But i guess it good that you revieled that the blind judgement against Povetkin is that he is from the Eastern block. Not from clean america...
i don't see pat taken the same stance against long time drug cheat hopkins who has been using trt for god know how long and more of a science experiment than a boxer these days
What Wilder said was very bigoted. I'm not sure he is a bigot. He does need to apologize though, sometimes people say dumb things without thinking I'm hoping this is the case here. Otherwise many of his supporters should abandon him. You can't say "Russians are a different breed of people they can't be trusted" really Wtf is that. It's insulting on so many levels he should know better. Imagine if a Russian said that about a African American fighter. That type of rhetoric is unacceptable. Again I just want him to apologize or clarify his remarks hopefully someone will bring this up to him in an interview and we can move on.
i hope he says sorry too, this isn't the 1920's ,bigotry like what wilder said shouldn't be allowed in the sport. someone should challenge him on this and if he doesn't say sorry he will have to be called a racist
Saying something off the cuff....... Imagine if we held Tyson Fury to those standards. Or Manny Pacqioua. Or Floyd Mayweather. Kovalev. What/when Wilder made the broad statement, it was smack dab in the middle of a STATE SPONSORED DOPING SCANDAL discovered by the World Olympic Committee. It was all over the news, and Wilder was flying smack dab into the middle of it vs a guy who has ALL the tools to unseat him, and "appeared", in the "moment", to have been cheating. He not only lost credibilty ducking Potvetkin unwittingly, he also lost about 10 million bucks or some insane amount....I know it was something equal to like his 4 highest purses combined. He'd almost definitely say something considered xenophobic off the cuff. Fukk....I live in the US, am a white working stiff, and my own president elect is all over the map with racist, and bigoted and xenophobic rhetoric, in as much as he was LITERALLY rallying every single private militia to begin a civil war if Hillary won the election.
You don't give away your patent by allowing or commissioning a study. There are tons of studies on thousands of drugs for which patents are owned. Are you saying that YOU have access to a study that hasn't been published which shows meldonium can stay detectable in the system of an athlete for 8 years after ingestion, but no one else has this study? It's a Russian drug used overwhelmingly by Eastern Euro athletes (who all amazingly have heart ailments, lol). These athletes are being banned from competition by testing positive for it. Yet there's a study that would clear them and the manufacturer -- who stands to lose untold money if these athletes quit buying and using it -- won't release the results of this study to show that they are innocent. That's beyond impossible to believe.
wilder made that statement that all russians are a different breed and cheats a few days ago, it was xenopohbic bigotry. Ah Fury is held them standards, he was destoryed by the media and what he said wasn't no where near as bad as what wilder said ,it was taken out of context manny was savaged by the media too wilder should get the same treatment for he's racist bigotry too.
Good post but Wilder is a total bigot and scumbag. He said he wanted Povetkin thrown in prison for the positive meldonium test but Wilder abuses women and he has never spent one day in jail let alone prison. I guess according to Wilder taking a banned substance when it was legal is worse than beating up on women. Wilder is a horrible human being and a filthy hypocrite, him and the dumb casual Murican fight fan deserve one another.
I say no such check was ever written. Yes he was charged with assault. I'm not aware of, nor are you, of any report which says the alleged victim of the alleged assault was a prostitute. Or that the person was paid off. Message board hyperbole. The charges were withdrawn. Anything beyond that is supposition or projection unless you've got some facts.
