    Wilder has natural power he reminds me a little of Cuvas in that everything is throw with spite and malice .I also think inside the ring he really wants to destroy his opponents.His light frame means He stays mobile late into fights which adds to the danger for his opponents

    I really think you just either have power or you don't. Guys like Holyfield seems as though he would have a hell of a punch but doesn't. Wilder doesn't seem like he would like he does. I also wonder if maybe guys chins are just weaker at Heavyweight now too? lol maybe that is a thing? Fighters were much tougher back in the day.

    I think some boxers are just born with freakish devastating power that can't be taught. It doesn't matter if you're taught the proper form or if you sit on your punches and put your whole body into it, some guys just can't punch hard.

    If Wilder hit Tyson with the punch that he hit Stiverne, Szpilka, Ortiz, or any other knockout victim of his, Tyson would find himself waking up.

    So many casuals in this thread.

    Wilder is the half-man half-hybrid champion of da Yulaverse. He generates his power from the concentrated delusion of his fans which has become crystallized into "Deludium".

    His feetwork too good.

    His affleckicism too good.

    His mediating too good.


    Wlad sucks, Ortiz is better. Whyte is a peasant, Fury is king of coke and kebabs (but still a king). Hearns is a slaver whilst Finkel is Jesus.

    AJ n Hearns duckin'.

    Heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder's defense against mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin was called off Sunday in the wake of Povetkin's positive test for the banned substance meldonium.

    Wilder and Povetkin were scheduled for their much-anticipated fight on May 21 at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, but in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association urine test conducted April 27 in Chekhov, Russia, Povetkin tested positive for meldonium. The test results came to light Friday when the VADA sent letters to both camps and the WBC, whose title Wilder holds, disclosing them.

    Meldonium is the same drug for which tennis star Maria Sharapova and many other athletes recently tested positive. It was approved to be added to the banned substance list by the World Anti-Doping Agency in September, and the ban went into effect Jan. 1. Meldonium is used to increase blood flow and carry more oxygen to muscles, thereby enhancing stamina, a trait boxers would want in a long fight.

    "The guy tested positive for a dangerous drug and the health and safety of Deontay was paramount, so the fight could not take place on May 21," Wilder promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com. "Deontay would have fought King Kong without any regard for what substance was being used, but Povetkin's use of this banned substance and the breach of the contract deprived Deontay of an opportunity to defend his title on a fair playing field. As a result, Deontay has suffered significant damages.

    "He has gone through his entire training camp and expended a tremendous amount of time and money and energy. It's awful."


    From the same article. Who says substance was not banned? Try putting the onus on the other party for a minute; Team Wilder was all the way the **** over in Europe, forgoddsake. For two weeks getting acclimated. Who's dime was he on while waiting for the payday? And THEN decides to quit? You guys are full of fanboy ****.

    Nah that’s all false. I don’t believe it, probably being friendly with Wilder.

    I never said that it wasn't banned. However his test was WAY under the permissible limit and explainable due to the fact that he had taken it before the ban. Wilder was looking for a way out because he knew he was going to get sparked out.

    Again: if Povetkin is #easywork for Wilder, Wilder would have gone through with the fight. He has fought actual roid cheats in the form of Ortiz, no problem. But Deontay knew he was going to get slept.

    Must have been christmas in Camp Wilder when they had a hint of an excuse to run.

    If you can't see (or maybe admit?) that we are quoting the same article, that spin is in the eye of the beholder, I've been giving you too much credit. Cheers.

    We are drawing different conclusions.

    Your conclusion: "Povetkin, omfg, drug cheat, Wilder's right not to fight him."
    My conclusion: "He's got a reasonable explanation for the Meldonium in his system since he was taking it before, and he actually passed the test. Wilder should fight him."

    But that's not the crux of the argument.

    The crux of the argument is this: Povetkin is a horrible style matchup for Wilder and he'd smash him up. YOU seem to think that he's not, that in fact Wilder would destroy him.

    Yet, there's one of them that was willing to fight (Povetkin) and another that was not (Wilder).

    Wilder's "I don't fight drug cheats" stance and excuse would be a lot more believable if he hadn't in actual fact fought ACTUAL roiders in the form of Ortiz and now Fury. Of course, Ortiz is as old as Cuba and Fury is pathetically out of shape so its not a surprise to me.

    He's fought stiffs, given them short camps and had preferable stoppages. Putting up Audley Harrison as an example of his power is laughable. The guy dropped to his knees at the twitch of an opponents shoulder. The Heavyweight scene is currently a circus. I don't even care for Wilder Vs Joshua. A protected bum who can't box Vs a protected Primadonna who can barely box.
