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

[DARKSEID]

Hopkins lives his life like a warrior.. he eat, breathes and ****s fighting.

Even when he doesn't have a fight, he's in the gym, he's eating right, he's disciplining himself, he's focused.

When you live like that, you're gonna outlast pretty much everybody.

He wins on his extraordinary skill, experience and ring I.Q alone, while his body is obviously slowing down.

[Main Source]

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.

The guy is over 6ft you tosser. He would not have any problems being a LH. What amazes me more is that he's able to keep his weight stable. But if you knew Bernard then you should also know his healthy lifestyle and food habits.

You write as if there hasn't been any champions past 40. Know your history son.

PEDs? Get the **** out of here.

because B-HOP is doing what he is doing by using good OLD FASHION PURE BOXING SKILLS! In this current ERA of boxing it is not that many fighters with Great Boxing Skills and many of them can be Out-Boxed EASY

Hopkins always been a great fighter, from DAY ONE, not like he was getting his A$$ kicked early in his career then all of a Sudden he started KNOCKING PEOPLE OUT! I have been watching B-Hop most of his career and it has never been any sudden change in the way he fights, he doesn't depend on Power, he takes PRIDE IN HIS SKILLS and he never gave a damn about fans CRYING about his style and the way he fights

so THAT IS WHY nobody questions B-Hop Success, fighters with PURE BOXING SKILLS alway last longer and continue to fight at a high level even late in their career

[street bully]

Hopkins wont even eat a hamburger because he thinks the man made chemicals will put a strain on his body. Pacquiao is said to smoke or used to smoke, and was once known for his partying lifestye.

so the fact that he takes punches and doesn't look in the least bit phased is due to his fighting style? the fact that over the course of his life he gained 40 pounds of raw muscle and made it look easier and easier as he went up which is literally unheard of in Boxing from anyone ever you saying that is due to his fighting style? the fact that he doesn't EVER run out of stamina or even breathe hard much at these higher weights where the weight should cause these effects on him you telling me that is due to his fighting style? I think it's "clearly" NOT

c'mon man be realistic, the things that cause people to question Manny Pacquiao are not things related to how he fights, people question Manny Pacquiao because of his transformation which has nothing to do with how he fights or how he throws his hands, in this instance you're asking me "why the double standard" yet no such double standard exists because NO ONE not even Bernard Hopkins has done or is doing anything close to what Manny Pacquiao is doing right now, simple as that

Be realistic,

Mannys transformation has to do with him having a proper trainer and health specialist at his side,

just like Bernard Hopkins.

Btw, Bernard doesn't have to do what Manny is doing.

How many fighters were dominating at the age of 45?

People were loving tonights fight because of Bernards domination.

Who, in the history of boxing, at the age of 45 has done that, over and over and over again?

Quit trying to equate steroid use to simply being about knockouts and power.

Its not.

You, just don't want to see what could possibly be.

Be naive.

PEDs? Get the **** out of here.

So, its just simply impossible for Bernard Hopkins to use PEDs right?

There is absolutely no way at all, he could be using,

and you know this as a fact, right?

Manny has always been a knockout puncher, because of his style.

Nobody questions his success because hes american.

Thats a fact.

Look at all of the americans who were caught under the current system,

how many of those guys were boxing fans screaming for to have better testing in their next fights?

None.

Hopkins wont even eat a hamburger because he thinks the man made chemicals will put a strain on his body. Pacquiao is said to smoke or used to smoke, and was once known for his partying lifestye.

and Bernard is known to have run the streets.

How would it be impossible for an ex con to cheat the system when he was put in prison for cheating the system?

when b-hop moves up to heavyweight and ko's the klits and haye then ill have questions.

Steroids are just about KOs now?

I don't recall James Toney knocking out John Ruiz.
