This generation is so soft. I guess Kobe should lawyer up for baselessly calling a ref a gay slur without proof, huh? Listen to yourselves. Sue him for defamation? As long as there is a 120 lb man riding a Huffy up a side of a mountain in France being suspected of PED usage, then I'm all for being skeptical.Comment

Few, if any, did after that night in Atlantic City. Sure, there was the usual gamesmanship and trash talking that has become a staple of Hopkins’ pre-fight schtick, but no one crossed the line until Jean Pascal did earlier this year when, at a press conference announcing their bout tomorrow night in Montreal, he called on Hopkins to take a pre-fight drug test, insinuating that the 46 year old wonder was making boxing history in a less than legit manner.
Hopkins, usually in control of his emotions, erupted, blurting to the media “Don’t be surprised if I kill him.”
To most, a championship fight took on a wholly different, more ominous air. Did Hopkins cross his own line into the realm of bad taste?
“I’ve worked so hard in and out of the ring, and I took so much s**t that I don’t mind, because without struggle, who would Bernard be?” Hopkins told BoxingScene. “Without struggle, I think I wouldn’t be here. So when a guy says something about my legacy and my history of what I’ve come from, I can walk in my home and catch a guy in my bedroom with my wife, and that won’t be the worst thing that happened to me. The things that were said were deeper than having a guy in my bedroom, in my house, with my wife, butt naked. I can forgive that before I can forgive what he said, based on the history that got me here. So when a guy says something to me to discredit me and have people thinking ‘oh, this thing that he’s done all these years is now under question,’ yes, the ambulance will be right by any fight that happens in the world, there will be one there, and don’t be surprised if he’s in it.”
A pause. A long, uncomfortable pause. After a second or two that feels like 100, a new question is asked, but Hopkins continues, just to make sure you didn’t misunderstand him the first time.
“And I mean that,” he continues. “And to get hurt, you gotta fight hurt, and that means that I have to be in the line of fire too. So at the end of the day, it is what it is, but that’s what’s gonna happen, and I’m comin’ for him. And he better be ready. I’m telling you, chin down, bite down on the mouthpiece, and we’re going to war. Emile Griffith and Benny “Kid” Paret.

Maybe some of you don't know what defamation of character is all about. Before the accusations, BHOP was thought of as on of the cleanest, healthiest guys in all of boxing. After the accusations, he has a handful of shirts saying he is a roider and people discrediting his win.....all with NO PROOF AT ALL.
Same thing with Pac- everywhere these guys turn, they are gonna be looked at as cheaters because some other guy was jealous of their accomplishments. Someone accuses me of stealing and tells me that I have to take a poly to prove my innocence, I'm telling them to get the freak on and quit wasting my time, I didn't do anything and if they don't have proof, piss off.Comment
