Comments Thread For: Double Standard? Hopkins Praised, Pacquiao Smeared

[MrClutch85]

Took one look at the title and knew it was going be this Dude Michael Marley is on the Top Rank Payroll so he has to keep Manny **** in his Mouth in all his Nonsense Stories

[WESS]

So now we're justifying Pac's "selections" by comparing him to Hopkins?

Keep digging, there is no justification.

Bob and Pac have been exposed. Pac selecting Mosley now (2011) is a complete contradiction!

Remember this april fools thread natas:

Michael Marley had posted on boxing confidential a couple days after he was hearing rumors of a Campbell torres fight

Wake up larry. Hopkins cherry picked Pascal after avoiding Dawson for a good couple of years. Hopkins is the best oppourtunist in the game.

real talk...still wondering what happened when he claimed on tv that he was fighting the winner of johnson/dawson II

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

the explanation is marley eats all pacs shiat and has his balls for dessert, Hopkins is great hes an old guy that beats up young guys, Pacroid is touted as great yet hes a young guy that fights nothing but old OR washed up guys , Hopkins can pick and choose hes earned it hes fought dudes in their prime almost his entire career!pac cannot ,especially if we have to pay $ 60 for mismatch after mismatch. hopkins goes down as Better period.

I think he makes a good point, it goes along with Hopkins always playing the race card and getting a free pass but if its anyone's fault for that its the boxing media which Michael Marley is a part of. The media is so scared to say something negative about Hopkins that they simply choose to ignore his idiotic statements, and this is coming from someone who has followed B-Hop since 95. I like the dude, but he makes it harder and harder to keep liking him when he says the dumb **** that he says. I dont think he's juicing either, just as I dont think Manny is either but like or hate him Marley makes a good point in this article and I rarely say that about the guy. Hes right up there with that Ronnie Nathanelz dude or however you spell his damn name, I cannot stand to read articles from that dude.

[Elotero]

Actually the article is doing the exact oppisite. He is saying he believes B-Hop is clean ,but he just finds it odd that people willacuse Pacman of illigal drugs without proof and he is a young guy in his prime ,but no one acuses that b-hop of drugs even tho he has put an amazing physical performance and he is well past the age of prime. He was just saying its a double standard.

Actually the double standard is that Legendary fighters Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Felix Trinidad, Oscar DeLaHoya etc all went up in weight and lost power somewhere and were eventually defeated and only one fighter (coincidenlty during the Steroid Age) is doing this successfully now but somehow it not steroids, just hard work and prayers. What makes it even more bizarre is that Asian fighters don't typically do very well above 118 pounds. Add to that the division Manny is supposed king of has been dominted by black or latino fighters for many many years, a lone filipino dominating seems unusual in a division where there are no other filipinos. On top of this there are the examples of him getting hurt and stunned by featherweights but not welterweights? Add to that the "amazing physical performances" and you have a perfect profile of a steroid user. You just cant believe it because your filipino bias or whatnot.

Sorry dude, once I saw garcia and margarito in your sig, anything you say after that is discredited as far as boxing knowledge. Once you see those two guys in a sig, you can bet that some Manny hating is in the works.

I do not know what is worse Marley article or this post.

However, Marley should be a professional, so his work is inexcusable.

Are you kidding me...you know sometimes you people really need to think before opening your a$$...Now if Hopkins moved up to Heavyweight and start putting fighters on there back that outweighed him by 15 pounds or just destroying guys in the ring...then yes...I might suspect him of cheating....Maybe if he was the mayor of Philly and wasn't training properly and then goes out and busts up Pascal's face...then you might have point...
