    Why doesn't Hopkins get suspected of being a PED user?

    Lets look at the facts.


    Doing extraordinary things when he used to be just ordinary.
    Gained 15 pounds of muscle in 6 months. December 2005, weighing in at 159. June 2006, weighing in at 174.
    45 years old and still fighting for championships, and winning against younger men. Hear me out, the guy is FORTY FIVE years old and still fighting for championships, and winning, against much younger opposition. Who does that?
    Arguably has lost only one fight in the last decade. (Many felt he beat Taylor both times).
    Always looks to be in top shape, even with a bigger head.


    Why come people aren't screaming for random blood testing in this guys fights?

    Dude is looking pretty su****ious to me.

    45, and still being at the top?

    Somethings up.

        Archie Moore still had a belt at age 48 and of course was a middleweight for most of his career.

              Evander is 7-6-1 in the past 10 years.

              Not really comparable.

              Hopkins arguably has just one loss.

                Did Archie Moore arguably have just 1 loss in his last decade of fighting?

                  For one thing, he's not the only guy in history to be at his level at his age. Another thing, he's never become all the sudden extraordinary. He looks a little older in each fight and you can definitely see he is slowing down. Some guys can fight into their 40's better than others.

                    Maybe because he never takes time off from the gym. Has lived ridiculously clean almost all his life. Always had great boxing skills and ring generalship that wasn't dependent on superhuman reflexes which is the first thing to go (a la RJJ). Wins a lot of his fights with boring tactics using said boxing skills. His body doesn't even look like that of a PED user. Just an in shape fairly cut older guy. And when the hell was he just ordinary? When he just came out of prison and started boxing professionally right away? What a ****** thread.
