Why is Hopkins not suspected of PED's

[Fearless]

He takes no supplements? I am not too familiar with Hopkins life style but I listened to De lahoya say one time that Hopkins takes his nutrition very serious.

No room to supplement any nutrition with tablets when you are eating all the right foods.

The main reason why all fingers were pointing to JMM regarding PEDs I think wasn't because of his association with his S&C Coach, but rather his physique change. Hopkins' physique hasn't changed much, if ever at all.

Hopkins is on PEDS, for sure.

Man did you not see the fight? Cloud was letting Hopkins be the leader. Hopkins was callin the shots practically the whole night. These young guys aren't able to stick it to an old man.

Hopkins bills are definitely paid.

You're logic on the Pacquiao/Hopkins situation fails.

There was no public sentement until Floyd Sr. came out with his comments. Thus, people jumping on the band wagon. You also fail to realize Floyd vs. Pacquiao is a main stream fight. Even casuals know about the fight. If you get it out to enough people, people are going to talk about it.

Only die hard boxing fans knew about Hopkins/Pascal, thus the public sentement not being there. Not to mention on a die hard boxing message board like NSB, the majority of posters are Hopkins fans. There is no divide like Pacquiao and Floyd. Thus not a public outcry to take a test.

P.S. Yes you are throwing a hissy fit. Call it what you want, but usually when you write up a multiple paragraph rebutall, that means you're a bit ticked off.

Like I said before. Calm yo nerves child.

P.S. When I said I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, that should have been your cue to calm yo nerves child. I didn't even want to take sides, but you're the one that's being a butt hurt little kid.

Again. You sound like a psychotic B-Hop fan. Ease up off the nuts.

^^This is your example of what a hissy fit (bad grammar) would look like, if you really want an example of what one looks like. If it's a "p.s." you only need to state it once.

And your lack of comprehension is still showing. It doesn't matter whether one is a mainstream fight and the other isn't. What matters is that Pacquiao was pressured into taking that test. Not because of Floyd/Roger, they just started it. But because people came to that conclusion by their own observation. It's your boxing equivalent of Presidential popularity polls, and Pacquiao's plummeted. And he still didn't take the test to clean his name/image. Hopkins does not have that problem.

And the vast majority in here are in fact NOT Hopkins fans. It's actually a minority of people. Vocal people. He just doesn't stir the same kind of emotion out of people, because he doesn't have his Mayweather nemesis to dive the board into two groups. It used to be Roy Jones, but no more.

I don't care what anyone else say but I suspect him 100%.

whats up with hopkins reaction here?

Yeah I don't get why he was getting angry, walking away, pushing, overreacting etc I definitely do not trust him one bit. And I really do believe he isn't doing this by being all natural.

i don't know about you, but i saw Pascal invade Hopkins' personal space and put hands on his person while shouting at him in a belligerent manner through a microphone. Hopkins responded the way many men would, ie. 'GTF off me'.

i'm sure Hopkins' attitude was that Pascal had no just cause to publically question his integrity (he wasn't just requesting testing, but making an aggressive accusatory campaign of it) and he wasn't going to dignify it.

i like Pascal. ordinarily he seems a gracious fellow. but Hopkins had gotten under his skin from the first fight and this episode said more about Pascal's mental undoing, insecurity and need for an angle on Hopkins than it did about Hopkins' integrity.

No, people break down paragraphs so they can respond more effectively to each "point" (if you wanna call it that) that was being made by the opposing poster. Which I have clearly gotten tired of.

It's also easier on a third party reader to keep up what we're talking about. Glad we cleared that up.

No, I enjoy taking ignorant little nitwit's like you to the woodshed. As long as you keep putting forth something that is worth rebutting, I will keep replying. That's how it works on message boards. You're the one taking this personal.

And your street talk-esque typing as if you're jiving back and forth on a corner isn't impressing anyone. Lets clean it up and type a little more neatly.

See Saddler's post above. He was invading Hopkins' space. It's one to thing to annoyingly shout "take the test" in broken English, trying to emulate Floyd. It's another to put your arm around the guy while doing so.
