If Bernard Hopkins needed a male cheerleader, I would be among the first to apply.

I'll answer your question and by the way, I am in no way convinced Pac is on roids,hgh or EPO. But Pac is questionable and Bhop is not because Pac has risen through the weight classes and seems to have not only kept his power and speed but also increased his stamina and ability to take a punch. Hopkins has simply honed his craftiness and if you have been a long time BHOP fan you will note that the guy used to be far more of an aggressive and lethal boxer.

Oh and as others have noted Pac has created a lot of his own problems by refusing or mandating certain conditions on testing. Now that doesn't exactly scream innocence does it?

Marley = a joke of a journo.....then agains the standard of boxing journos in general is terrible.

wow, its a jerk journalist like this that puts athletes under illegal drug and

performance enhancer scrutiny without any reason at all.

what a piece of crap this writer is.

your reading comprehension skills must be inadequate since that wasn't at all what he wa implying.
go back to school or take some phonics.
he has a valid point. I don't think Hopkins is cheating, however, if there wasn't a double standard he would be getting **** like Pacquiao is.
He was trying to say that like Hopkins doesn't deserve the criticism, Pacquiao doesn't either.

his stemina and ability to take a punch have not changed.
he had two fight where he was weight drained and got KO'd.. after, never has he been seriously hurt. (besides Margarito.. and that was a body punch too like the previous two)
he's always had devistating power too. only difference is that back then he was winging punches instead of turning into them correctly and they would graise his opponents.
roids don't increase your acuracy, learning how to throw your punches correctly and how do.

I didn't even read all that garbage he wrote, but I knew it was a worthless article by reading the title of it and seeing Marley's name at the top. Nathaniels is bad too, but at least he doesn't kick dirt on guys with a proven track record. Boxingscene needs to send this dude packing.

micky marley so your all ears? pacman takes shots from little dudes at the lower weights, gets kod twice,gets dropped by a straight left,does chicken dances, all from shots by small dudes, goes up throgh the weights and puts on 3 stone, becomes faster,twice stronger, increases stamina better than a hyena, walks through punches from guys weighing upwards of 150,can punch as hard if not harder than guys upwards of 150 and finally is the only boxer known today who refuses to take a simple blood test randomly to win himself 50 million dollars, any wonder people are su****ous. pac needs to set the example, is,nt he an honest congressman now?

Hopkins Dominated a whole decade at Middle without losing to anyone. Hopkins is a slick fighter who relies on being crafty in using movements, defense, counters and cutting off the ring to win. He went up to Light heavy weight and looks good against slow footed fighters that arent as skilled as him. The only reason he beat Pascal is cuz pascal was not in good condition. Its not like he murdered the dude, he just schooled him.

Pac has 3 loses, 2 draws, which means he lost 5 times total at the smaller weights. He went from 135 to 148 in 6 months to dominate the WW Divison. A man gaining 8 titles isnt heard of, what hopkins did has been done before. Manny was never accused of taking enhancements until he refused to test. Everyone including manny fans thought the fight was going to happen. No one thought Manny would back out do to testing, be real!!!...Manny is taking shots from bigger guys but was gettng rocked by marquez...come on son you cant even compare the two..


Hopkins has lost to CHAMPS...Manny has lose to no name fighters to go on to dominate champs at heavier weights...yeah right...why not test and clear the air??
