Hopkins and Performancing Enhancing

[Miburo]

Along with Mayweather no other fighter since Hagler has maintained his weight and physical condition year-round as well as Hopkins.

Hopkins is a gym rat.

He is always in great shape.

IF he used anything, it probably would've been HGH....they say it makes an old man feel like a young man again. How true that is, I don't know...never touched the stuff myself, though I have to confess, I have considered it.

Mackie Shilstone.

First thing that came to mind as I read the topic title...pure and simple.

[Stickman]

I am 38, a former collegiate wrestler. Currently, I am fit, eat healthy, weight train, exercise at least five times a week. I finished my fifth marathon yesterday with a Boston Qualifying time of 3:15:59 and I have done nothing but lose muscle mass over the last few years. I am not even as old as Hopkins. Sure maybe I would look different if I could hire Mackie Shilstone... but I am still very su****ious.

I'm 43, and haven't lost any notable muscle mass at all, and my primary exercise is work...I'm a builder/carpenter. I don't run anymore (knees have seen too many miles), but I'm going up and down ladders constantly, carrying lumber around, and get a good amount of exercise every day.


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 su****ion 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.

This is so ******ed on so many levels. Let me ask you do train the same for boxing as you do for a marathon? The workout routine for boxing is different from wrestling which is completley different from marathon running. For marathon you want to be slim and light.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
