    Dude ran for the hills when he had the chance. Didn't even wait for the investigation to call it permanently off.

    I am not sure Bambi was scared but let's just say he was not eager to fight Povetkin. He left England before any official decision announced. WBC made a wrong decision. The fight should have taken place as scheduled. It wouldn't have been against WADA guidelines.

    Now Bambi can continue fighting top 30 fighters. I hear this time it would be Rossy.

    Vargas tested positive, was given a pass, but Povetkin was clean, yet was still not allowed to knock Wilder out.............huge double standard against Eastern European fighters...................WBC is protecting the chicken Wilder.............this will be Wilder's fourth voluntary title defense................

    Wilder never set foot in Russia, he was waiting from a distance in UK :patsch Wilder had his chance to make Povetkin come to the honkytonks, his dear promoter couldn't/wouldn't back him up in the purse bid.

    WBC is being very protective towards Bambi. It is getting ridiculous. When will Bambi fight a mandatory? In 2020?

    He get punched in the face for a living, he wasn't scared.

    But, if he does fight Chris Nips instead, he deserves to feel the wrath of fans.

    Nah... Povetkin would have shriveled up & not delivered anyway. Just ducks this keeps Wilder on ice now instead already moving past this one.

    People forget but Ryabinski wanted Povetkin to fight Wilder in late summer, they were just forced to have a late may date. They don't want it, if they were confident, why not want a fight asap?

    Wilder is scared to fight ANYONE with a pulse.

    It's proven he ducked Dereck Chisora and Bryant Jennings. Wnated none of them, and ridiculed himself doing what he did to avoid them.

    If you're scared ****less of Chisora and Jennings, of course you're gonna be scared of any other top 10 boxer

    :think

    1. Whether he was scared or not, irrelevant. He signed the contract, started camp, and traveled for the fight. He's not at fault for it falling through.

    2. Test was positive, that's why it got postponed in the first place.

    No.

    PEDroidkin was the one who was scared, which is why he was juiced up to his scooby doo haircut.
