Why is Hopkins not suspected of PED's

[mathed]

Ban this guy for starting this type of thread in his 5th post.

We could all just shizzle all over his rep and Id be happy to donate some infractions to him to help him on his way to bantown.

He was accused by Pascal, and then he refused to even talk about it during the press conferences. Also refused to take advanced testing.

I like Hopkins, but that's the truth.

Yeah but you've got to use common sense here. He didn't bring it up because it validates the accusation. And once a "theory" or "accusation" starts it never stops. It only spreads. It's like you're guilty until proven innocent.

And quite frankly, he should not be associated in this type of PED testing talk. All the fighters (Berto, Peterson) who got caught recently also had good physiques and relied on it too. It's not like their craft is winning them fights.

Hopkins does not HAVE a shredded body, he has lost muscle mass. He doesn't throw a ungodly amount of punches, only less and less. And his punching power hasn't returned out of nowhere. There is no basis for accusing him of PED's other than him still being here at 48, which can be attributed to life long discipline of eating right, training all year round, and resting properly, and not going out and partying like some fighters.

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.

He meant as in eating right.

Meanwhile everyone says Marquez is on PEDS because he is slightly more cut than before but has stated he is willing to take advanced testing.


But really dont know what you guys are on about being shredded or not. You know what Vargas and James Toney look like right?

C'mon son. You're being a lawyer right now. LOL.

I like B-Hop, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. That's all. I won't take it any further.

This is exactly what I was referring to in my previous post.

Your previous post?

His body hasn't changed that much from when he was younger. Matter of fact he is a lot softer in the body than four or five years ago. Plus he doesn't have any devasting knockout power.

-Marquez beats a guy he already beat at 39 while willing to get tested = PEDs Cheater

-Hopkins beats a young undefeated champ at 48 and has refused testing in the past = Clean HOF GOAT

[DoktorSleepless]

BHOP didn't associate himself with a known PED peddler or radically improve his physique like JMM did. I personally don't think JMM took anything either, just hard work.

You don't consider Bhop jumping two weight classes in six month period a dramatic physique change?
