Comments Thread For: Wilder vs. Povetkin - WBC Finally Issues Full Ruling on Failed Test

[Combat Talk Radio]

If steroids had nothing to do with them than why even mention their names?

yet another straw man argument.

You dismissed the issue by talking about how frequently they fight (which has NOTHING to do with being roided or not). I simply said that how frequently they fight has NOTHING to do with them getting hurt and gave specific examples.

Stop ducking the issue. The number of fights is irrelevant.

Done.

If you really care for the fighters or human lives you won't be a fan of boxing at all, in fact you should be all for making the sport illegal so where is your stance on that?

Some people just don't care for a soldier's or a police members life these people are just letting them do all the dirty work whilst sitting online talking mad **** about them when they don't even earn anywhere near 5% of what a top ranked boxer is earning.

You can't be for having two people beat the **** out of each other
Then also be for I care about the fighters
It's a risk these people know the risk just like everyone else in a dangerous job will know the risk, risk = reward, deal with it.

You don't understand the difference.

I fully understand the risk to a fighter in the ring. But that risk is under the assumption of a 50/50 playing field. Thus why the Golovkin/Brook and Canelo/Khan fights are jokes. They're not 50/50.

When you're on PEDs - I mean REAL PEDs - you are now at 60/40, 70/30, etc. That's more dangerous than an even fight.

Given the recent allegations of wide spread doping by Russian athletes and the fact he did have a PED in his system I think this is a good idea.

they should use the same tests the NFL uses all the football players are clean BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Thanks missed that info obviously. This is standard for anyone who gets a ding with anything PED related. Believe there are still a few who would discuss the Roy Jones PED situation like Roy was Lance Armstrong. I don't recall too many cats suggesting Povetkin was a serial doper doe, but sure speculation is standard & I don't believe needs to be backtracked as its speculation not an accusation. Hell right now everyone Russian is suspect with the state sponsored PED cheating issues they've had. **** Russia not competing in the Olympics was on the table which is nuts.

I'm not gonna go back and dig out the comments, but there were a bunch of em after me when I initially voiced my support for Povetkin, since it was just trace amounts. And I mean a few of em wouldn't stop grinding, for weeks. But I'm a big boy, so no worries. I just find it ignorant to not accept that there are grey areas in every aspect of life.

NP shame Pirog had to retire, his style was unlike any Euro fighter I have seen, he moved his head, was able to use the shoulder roll, could box and punch and had the timing and could figure guys out on the fly Funny I enjoyed Jacobs-Mora and probably will tune in for the re

Yep, Pirog fan here too. And also enjoyed Mora/Jacobs I... and laughed at Jacobs when he said 'no rematch'. He knew he'd dodged a bullet.

Actually, I'll have whatever opinion on the sport I wish to have... and my opinions are based on reality. Your 'rules' don't apply anywhere but in your own mind, friend. And BTW, if a boxer takes their craft seriously, it isn't anymore dangerous than running track and field or tennis or whatever. Injuries can and do happen in any sport.
