Why do the heavyweights keep cancelling/postponing their fights?

[ruthless rocco]

Simple: Wlad got caught not wanting to take PED tests. Pulev caught him out, now he has to run around talking shit.

It baffles me how little you know about this.

You think that Wlad gives a shit about what Pulev wants?
You think it makes a difference what Pulev says?
You think that it would even make a difference to the outcome of the fight if Wlad did the same drug testing?

More so, do you think Pulev is the first guy to complain about this? Wlad didn't duck any of the others did he?

Now I don't really like Wlad but case and point - He is the champ, fighters fight on his promotion, and he essentially does whatever the fuck he wants, why fake an injury and lose money?

Why not simply replace Pulev?

You believe Wlad cancelled a multi million pound deal because Pulev said "Oh no drug testing blah blah"?

It's ridiculous that you know so little, or have such little common sense.

I imagine you walk into a lot of walls.

Hahahahahahaha!

Fights were postponed for less. Especially if he failed the test, had to go natural, and he gets his ass handed to him.

wladimir v pulev has been rescheduled for november.


Although I think wladimir faked this arm injury to dodge the ice bucket challenge

[TitoFan]

This didn't happen as OFTEN years ago as during the past few years.


Wladimir Klitschko: backed out TWICE from fights with Dereck Chisora, now has postponed his Sep 6 fight with Kubrat Pulev

Dereck Chisora: backed out a week before his scheduled fight with Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury: pulled out the morning of the his scheduled fight with Alexander Ustinov without claiming an injury, said he had to visit his uncle who had been in hospitalized for some time


and the WORST for backing out of fights, winner of the Duck Award:

David Haye: Backed out of a HBO Wladimir Klitschko fight in June 2009, pulled out of a HBO Vitali Klitschko fight in August 2009, backed out of a fight with Manuel Charr in 2013, and pulled out with short notice TWICE for PPV fights with Tyson Fury later in 2013.

I agree with you... and it only makes a sorry division even sorrier. Personally, I lost my interest in the heavyweights years ago. It's only out pure morbosity that I watch any HW fights at all.


But I feel for you. You're the "torch-carrier" for the division, constantly giving up updates and headlines. Do a pretty good job, too. Wish we had a better division for you to carry the torch for.

Wlad backed out of a fight vs Chisora? Did you mean Vitali because I don't recall Wlad ever signing to fight Chisora.

The PED bullshit is brought up by Sauerland fighters all the time because well they are 2nd rate fighters like the rest of the division at the moment. Wlad is just better than them and they want to do things outside the ring to try and get in his head. Pulev's best chance at winning using his best skills is to try and outbox Wlad....I hate to break this news to you, but he's not going to be able to do that, Wladimir is too good of a boxer to lose that way. Pulev doesn't have the power to KO Wlad the way Sanders did....I'm not certain about Kubrat's chin but I'll bet it ain't as sturdy as Brewster's or Purrity's were and even if it was Wlad knows how to pace himself now.


You are right about David Haye though....he has half assed his way to stardom. The pathetic little toad

wladimir was going to fight chisora, I dont remember him pulling out twice though, this was before chisora fought vitalii maybe before helenius too, I cant remember .. pulled a muscle in his stomach a week or so before the fight

Wladimir Klitschko pulls out of Chisora bout with abdominal injury | Sport | The Guardian

seems it was when chisora was undefeated..

[Chiccy2112]

Anybody wonder how Joshua got on in his sparring with Wlad? Maybe he got hurt, just a thought!!
