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

[jtiger78]

Not really bro.

What Pacquiao body-of-work even compares with Hopkins middleweight reign?

Seriously, how can you even compare their resume's ?

And since then, Hopkins has consistently fought as an underdog.

You cannot compare Tarver, Wright, Calzaghe, Pavlik, Pascal..... with Hatton, Cotto, and Margarito.

Hopkins wins hands down, he has definitely achieved more.

no i agree 100% but you got the people who started watching boxing after pac KOed hatton ya know!

^^^^ Big idiot.

I have some beautiful swamp front property to sell you. You can see Manilla from your house!

Another article by Michael Marley....

....but I have to say though, if Bob Arum was paying me to defend Pacquiao, I'd go with more substance, this is bull-.

Marley cannot defend Pacquiao on this one..... end of story.

Because Bernard Hopkins has not refused random blood tests.

Manny..... take the fkn tests. Thousands of athletes have taken the test, hundreds of boxers, they are quite simply..... harmless !!

The real point to come out of Marley's article was raised by JmH Reborn earlier.....

Who cares what other people think.......

......successful people always moves forward while losers fall behind and look for negative elements. It's not about the double standards. AP,CNN,SI etc. recognized Pac accomplishments, who cares what idiots thinks about Pac...or Bernard..it is what it is....if they cant stand..again too ****ing bad.

Some do know about the lower classes that established him as a legend.. Barrera Marquez Morales.. and championship fights prior to that.

I think that you may have missed the point ?

Hopkins ruled the middleweight divisions for more than a decade.

If Manny's earlier accomplishments made him a " legend ".....
..... then, what made him " great " ?

Because he has done nothing since Marquez II.

I still only have EM/MAB listed as " greats " that Manny has beaten.

How can you even compare him to Hopkins ?

[HyperUppercut]

because he refused the drug tests. thats why I think pac is on "da shyt". I know hopkins would take that test in a heart beat for 40 million. It ain't no double standard, pac made himself look like a dammn cheat.

bwahahahahahaha!

Where ?

Folks are simply laughing at Marley's straw-man attack.

Instead of countering the PED accusations directed toward Manny, Marley has inadvertently raised doubts over the question of best fighter of the era.

How do you compare Hopkins resume with Manny's ?

Or was that a silly question ?
