    Well, seems legit but I would still like to see the Report and X-Rays.
    Since when have you ever seen a hospital or doctor releasing x-rays. These are professionals that swear an oath of honestly and are held by it, not some rag tag healers. They may release a report, but no way would they give copies of the x-ray to the public.

      In Hopkins/Echols II, Bhop dislocated his shoulder and continued the fight one-handed.

        No based off styles in general. I think B hops run is over...The last time he fought a young skilled fighter was Taylor...and Taylor wasnt even that skilled. Other than the one dimensional Pavlik and Pascal, Hopkins has only been feeding on old fighters for the past 6 years.

          Because a certified Doctor would put his reputation/career on the line, and consent to his name being used in a LIE, just to help a Fighter.
          This is true. GBP, a multi-million dollar company, doesn't have the power to do this.

            HOPKINS SUFFERS SEPARATED AC JOINT


            Bernard Hopkins has been released from the California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles after being x-rayed and examined by Dr. Sam Thurber, MD who diagnosed Hopkins with a separation of the acromioclavicular (A-C) joint which connects the collar bone and shoulder blade.

            More information on AC joint separation (taken from Wikipedia):

            A common injury to the AC joint is dislocation, often called AC separation or shoulder separation. This is not the same as a "shoulder dislocation," which refers to dislocation of the glenohumeral joint.

            AC dislocation is particularly common in collision sports such as ice hockey, football, rugby and aussie rules, and is also a problem for those who participate in swimming, horseback riding, mountain biking, biking and snow skiing. The most common mechanism of injury is a fall on the tip of the shoulder or FOOSH (falls on outstretched hand).

            AC dislocations are also graded from I to VI. Grading is based upon the degree of separation of the acromion from the clavicle with weight applied to the arm. Grade I is a tear of the AC ligament. It has the normal separation of <4mm. Grade II is a complete dislocation of AC ligament with partial disruption of coracoclavicular ligament. The AC gap is >5mm. Grades I and II never require surgery and heal by themselves, though physical therapy may be required. Grade III is complete disruption of AC and CC ligaments. On plain film the inferior aspect of the clavicle will be above the superior aspect of the acromion. This can also be assessed with an MRI scan, which will also demonstrate disruption of the coracoclavicular ligaments (the degree depending on the severity of AC joint disruption) as well as tearing of the joint capsule. The joint will be very tender and swollen on examination. Grade III separations most often do not require surgery and shoulder function should return to normal after 16–20 weeks. However, there will be some physical deformity of the shoulder with a noticeable bump resulting from the dislocation of the clavicle. Grades IV-VI are complications on a 'standard' dislocation involving a displacement of the clavicle, and will almost always require surgery.

                He even managed to continue to fight after this brutal LOW BLOW from Roy Jones

                  FOOT IN MOUTH. . . I find it hard to believe a professional dr. would put his career nad reputation on the line over something like this. . .

                  Im sorry Hopkins for doubting you, but you can't blame us, man! you've pulled some shyte before!

                  Hopefully you get a rematch or another big money fight.
