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

[infamous larryx]

Actually the article 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.

please plese please dont try to justify the garbage in this article..its terrible..simply terrible

Well,can U explain how he can compare B-Hop fighting the #1 lightheavyweight in the world to team Pacman choosing Mosley??

Did Bernard Hopkins force Pascal to fight at a catchweight of 171 or 172?

Pacquiao deserves every last bit of smearing he recieves.

Pacquiao was great at 130. Since then he's been nothing but a circus sideshow that is ruining the sport we all love dearly. By now it should be more than obvious that Bob Arum, Freddie Roach, and even Pacquiao knows that Manny can't beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. How many of Floyd's left overs is Manny going to fight(at a catchweight no less) before this simple fact is glaringly obvious to you?

The only fighter capable of beating Floyd right now is Sergio Martinez...And I'm not even saying he will.

Back to the thread topic: Bernard Hopkins actually fought Pascal the way I wish he would've fought his entire career...Great performance by Hopkins...I'm surprised he didn't throw his head in there with a few of those combos lol.

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

Lol this guy and Ronnie are the worst writers ever always making a new article every week to try and defend Pac if theres nothing to hide why do you insist on making article after article pleading why hes clean? He can man up and do it himself by just taking OST as all boxers should.

1. Bernard fought at Middleweight and then went straight to Light Heavy and didnt carry his power up with him. Pacquiao went from 106 to 147 and is still wobbling guys twice his natural size. Bernard never really had Pascal hurt he just outboxed him because he executed his gameplan perfectly and listened to his trainer. So I dont understand how you can even compare the accusations of PEDS from Pac to BHop.

And about Hopkins cherry picking lol what a load of crap he went in there and fought Pascal who had just dethroned Dawson in his previous fight. Hopkins is 45 years old and hes fighting fresh champs. Pacquiao is 32 and hes fighting past prime fighters you tell me whos taking the harder comp. You also talked about him not fighting Andre Ward or Lucian Bute? If I remember correctly those are Super Middleweights not Light Heavyweights and Ward is obligated to the Super Six while Bute is obligated to fighting bums. I dont understand where they stated they wanted to jump to 175 anytime soon so that is the ******est comparison you could use. Seriously boxingscene needs to cut loose some of these wack ass biased reporters.

BTW I dont even like Hopkins lol hes a boring dirty fighter(usually), but he aint on PEDs he just knows how to execute gameplans and win fights.

bernard actually started his career at light heavy

how do you cherry pick the ?#1 fighter in your division???

I believe the writer is talking about Hopkins not fighting Dawson previously

[GattiFan]

Horrific writing and sentence structure aside, I would like to read some comments regarding the Double Standard idea that this guy brought up.

[Brockton Lip]

Styles make fights. It seems that Hopkins wanted no part of Dawson when he was champ.

bernard actually started his career at light heavy

He started contending at Middleweight though and thats where he spent the majority of his career
