If you're losing muscle mass quickly, there's probably something you're doing wrong, or some underlying problem. You really shouldn't be losing muscle until you get near 50.
The only thing I see about Hopkins' performance Saturday that raises any suspicion at all was his endurance, and even that I can see him reaching if he spent the vast majority of his camp on endurance training. Also, while he was pretty active during the fight, he wasn't pressured as hard as he was against Calzaghe, so in the end...while it raises eyebrows, it isn't something I'd accuse him off right away. I think he worked his ass off before the fight to get where he needed to be. Whether he used anything or not, I'd lean towards the "No" side. Again, if he used anything at all, it probably would've been HGH, and I don't even know if that's banned.

If you really knew B-HOP has been admitted that he had to constantly stay in shape no matter if he was fighting or not to make weight at 160. So what B-HOP is now doing at a higher weight makes sense.
I SEE YOU HI HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
