Bernard Hopkins says that an MRI of of his left shoulder reaffirmed he has a separated acromioclavicular, or AC joint, which connects the collar bone and shoulder blade, following a doctor's visit on Friday morning.
"I just left the doctor's office. They've diagnosed the same thing that they said that I had in California after the fight. They will have to re-evaluate it after I go through my rehab," said Hopkins, who received his his initial MRI on Monday and said that he has been "taking 500 milligrams of Motrin" for the pain.
"They said that I have to set up a thing with rehab. I have about six-to-eight weeks where I have to be able to go though rehabilitation and recovery from this injury. Then I've got to wait for the doctor to give me another evaluation after six-to-eight weeks."

hahaha, they gave him Motrin, they should've just told him to GTFOH.

well first it was 5mg vicodin now 500 mg motrin

next it will be 3 grams of H to dull the pain

I just hope he comes back and rematches Dawson.

If not Cloud maybe.

why would you question it? Hopkins said right after via twitter that he doesn't like taking drugs and was only taking half of what they prescribed him the night of the fight from the hospital. He went back for further testing on monday to a different doctor, is it that unlikely that he could have been prescribed something else?

Jesus you guys are stretching.

Besides, a lot of people who aren't used to taking opiate based drugs like Vicodin, Percocet, etc. don't like the feeling, it can cause upset stomachs, nausea, dizziness, etc.

This injury will be the descent of Hopkins.

He will not be able to train like he used too... he may stay in the gym, but what he can do will be significantly limited.

The main reason Hopkins stays successful at this age, is he never lets himself get "out of shape". He's always training, always in the gym.. so that when training camp comes, it's not such a huge impact on his body to go from out of shape, to fight shape... he goes from in shape... to fight shape.

It will be hard for him to stay "in shape" with this injury.

Sure... he can Run, do ab work etc... but you have to be able to do much more than that to be in in boxing shape...

At almost 47 years old, this injury will take awhile to heal, and could very well come back when he does go back into training, or even in the middle of a fight..

He will be training fine in the 6 weeks.

I believe that it is not serious as it is made out.

Remember when Jay Cutler of the chicago bears got injured against the packers last year and everyone and their mama suddenly became doctors and said he was faking and that "if I were him I would have played!" and took a giant dump on him?

Then it turned out he truly was injured?

yeah. Similar thing here with hopkins. It's easy to watch on the seat of your couch or computer chair and say "oh he quit! he's faking" versus being the actual person who went through the injury the first place.

Could Jay Cutler have continued? Probably. Probably would have got killed and injured even more being that he was getting sacked every 3-5 plays and possibly ruined his entire career. Could hopkins have continued? Probably. With limited use of one arm and would have surly lost with only the right hand to operate with, not too mention risks further injury.

Everyone on this site is a warrior who would fight with two broken arms, one eye, 18 cuts, a nosebleed and a broken leg. Without question.

***ing beautiful post!!!!! Whats funny is all these mother***ers saying Bernard was faking are the same lazy pieces of shhhit who call into work at the first sign of coughing.

Get off your high horse ***ggotts!!
