Why is Hopkins not suspected of PED's

[SlySlickSmooth]

How could you even suspect he was on PEDs this fight? Fought his fight and I really thought he looked terribly old today, I was surprised Cloud let himself be a follower to Hopkins rhythm.

^^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.

Its true nobody thought Pac was on roids until Floyd sr started that sore loser crap to talk down on Pacman, Mayweathers are poor sportsman they never say that a fighter was the better man that night and congrat them they make up excuses.

Also Pacman said he would take a test, they negotiated the deal, he said unlimited urine and not to take blood too close to the fight because Pacman in 2005 said he felt that blood taking the day before the fight weakened him, so he didn't duck the testing he had a belief that his blood testing papers were not really lost and someone used it as a tactic to weaken him, and thats his belief even if you dont agree with it or not it was in 2005 so you cant say he made it up randomly.

2005 interview claiming they used blood testing to weaken him before Morales fight so he didn't just make up an excuse,

[winky's right]

whats up with hopkins reaction here?

nothing to see here. if i remember correctly, this particular press conference happened after the fight was signed. if you really want testing, bring it up in negotiations prior to the contract.. Pascal trying to use psychological warfare or hype up the fight, nothing more.

Once he refused testing with pascal to me he was on PEDS you don't refuse a couple of test if you not on that ish, and i'm black so i don't play that if it's a black person ima just look the other way if they're doing something suspect just cause were both black. Anybody any race if you are doing suspect stuff like refusing outright to take a couple test you on them. This is something people do't want to hear but ive been going to the gym long enough to know the look of a natural person and a person on some type of Ped orsteroid and one time in each of their carrers both Oscar and Surgar Ray leonard used them. Oscar was on them for sure for the whitaker fight, look at it on youtube and Leonard when he fought at 160

[thuggery]

Definitely red flags but since he's from Philly he gets a pass I guess. Why are all the people accusing Pacquiao of steroids not accusing BHop as well?

[jaded]

He isn't as muscular as he was when he fought Tarver...to me the way his body looked last night doesn't raise su****ion.





It's not like he wore Cloud down with relentless energy...PED's don't enhance skill and timing which were the deciding factors last night. People shouldn't be on a which hunt because he showed masterful skill and talent at 48...they should just appreciate it for what it was...a great exhibition and history.

I personally think BH is on something for his fitness that we dont know about. Because at that age you arent supposed to be able to last 12 rounds like that. I hope im wrong and im in 2 minds really as BH makes me feel better about being middle aged now.

So i hope hes not on anything but i think he probably is, that he is being ever so tight lipped about, saying its God given genetics and taking care of himself.

Im sure most boxers take care of themselves as much as BH but happen to be younger also.
But if he can get away with it good its someone elses problem, not BHs.

I'm just saying they were throwing crap all over Marquez for his age, physique and associations by the mainstream media. None of that crap was thrown at BHop.

BHop doesnt work with Memo and his physique didn't change dramatically overnight. Funny thing is, when you look at BHop you can tell he's a grandpa. When you look at JMM, it looks like he has barely changed.

wtf is with all these noobs creating threads?


am i the only one that is clocking a swarm of alts since KTFO6?

[#1Assassin]

why should he?

there is no PED that slows down aging, he could take anything it still wouldnt help him retain his speed and reflexes the way he has. doing that comes down to what you dont take, not what you take in addition to genetics.

you cant accuse ppl of using PEDs anytime they do something special. hopkins never did anything suspect that would warrant such su****ion besides just being awesome.
