Hopkins SUING Pascal!

[champ_kw]

I don't see the problem with people questioning the validity of someone's performance(s) in 2011. Stop walking around with your heads in the sand. Look at all the major sporting feats in the last 15 years. McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds homerun assault, Lance Armstrong's 7 Tour de France wins, Marion Jones Olympic medal haul, Usain Bolt's record Olympic performance, Michael Phelps and Dana Torres medal haul at the Olympics, Manny Pacquiao's record "8" weight class titles, and Bernard Hopkins becoming a title holder at 46. Testing plays a major part in all of them. The ones before "PED testing" becoming a part of the sports worlds lexicon either got caught lying about taking PED's or have damning evidence and revelations about usage. Phelps, Bolt, and whoever else who come after that are faced with legit questions about the validity of their accomplishments, be it fair or not, it's just the climate of the sporting world. Phelps, Torres, and Bolt have been randomly blood tested....Manny and Hopkins won't adhere to it.

It doesn't admit guilt, but I refuse to be naive and act like my generation just happens to be the lucky generation. Just so happens, all the records that these sports have amassed over many generations just so happen to be broken by athletes of my generation without any hint of a coincidence, huh? As a fan, I just ask that the athlete don't cheat us out of the moment. I remember being huddled around a tv in my dorm room with people who don't watch baseball waiting for the record to fall. Now that moment isn't special anymore. I would hate to watch Bolt shatter world records and then have to treat that moment like the Ben Johnson race. I don't want to be cheated out of these moments. Period. Somehow, I think athletes kinda owe it to the fans to erase any doubt that what they pay for, witness, etc. is a legit sporting acheivement. But I guess since the guy that brought up testing in boxing happens to be a mercurial personality, it all of a sudden holds no weight. Oh well....

I think BOTH B.Hop and Pascal went too far...Pascal has to be one of the dumbest dudes in the game....he knows Manny has a case against the Mayweathers for talking outta their ass....so why would he say something like that and risk catching the same case?!?...smh

[S.G.]

Americans and their lawsuits . . . smh.

[Mr. Fantastic]

No reaction from *****s!!!! I WONDER WHY??????????????

Hopkins is black.

you're a ***** why would anyone take you seriously? all you care about is hate on pac. until you come out of that ***** clothing and start thinking objectively all the words you write in this site would mean nothing. absolutely nothing.

[maxorido]

Hopkins is black.

I think it has more to do with the fact that they don't care about Hopkin's fights. Manny is the biggest name in boxing at the moment, so he'll attract more attention from casual fans. Although yes, it's the same scenario for both Bernard and Manny, more people care about Manny is all.

[Wreckless]

At least Pascal still had the courage to fight BHop even after he accused him of roiding.

[Barry Halls]

if this is true, it's super lame of bernard. Fighters don't settle **** like this in court.

[Discipline]

At least Pascal still had the courage to fight BHop even after he accused him of roiding.

...And Pac didn't have the balls to do random testing in the first negotiation.

Touché, idiot.

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

No. Difference is Jean Pascal fought Hopkins and didn't run away and go on 'vacation' when B-Hop told him to go **** himself about 'the test'.

This should be a lesson to all in the future who want to sully a man's name with no shred of evidence. Talk out the side of your mouth, you have to pay up.

Agreed........
