Why is Hopkins not suspected of PED's

[LeG00N]

That's a pretty generalized statement. If I recall a poll was done and like 80% of people voted that Marquez was clean.

Did you see Jim Lampley's show after Marquez Pacquiao IV? and did you see it tonight?

even tonight they used Marquez as a window to talk about PEDs while at the same time talking about how amazing B-hop was.

Because he is using Skills and Smarts and not just Physical Ability...if he was knock guys out then yeah I think you would see more and more people question him

B-Hop style haven't changed AT ALL, only thing he has added over his career is a few tricks

You didn't challenge what I said. Why validate an accusation? The whole PED movement started based on observation. I.E. Pac's head, his physique, his chin, his power, his speed, his endurance. Has Hopkins not showed that he gets tired? Has he not went down when a clean punch connected? (Pascal). Has he showed improvement in workrate over the years? No.

No basis for it other than for the sake of making the general accusation because he still here at 48. Maybe there would be something to it if he were someone who lives a bad lifestyle and lets himself go in between fights. But he doesn't. So all that can be attributed to natural, organic hard work, don't you think?

Or just take some tests, and leave no doubts. Regardless of what he does to maintain his abilities in the ring, fighting at his age, does raise some red flags.

Like I said before. I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt. You have like 3 other posters to argue with. Deal with them first, then we can sign the contract. LOL.

Not saying this proves anything, but Hopkins did transform is body in half a year after the Taylor loss. And he did not have any flab on him.

Yup, you got him. A 6-1 middleweight moved up & gained muscle. Peds must be involved.

Lampley and HBO are a disgrace and the way they all but declared Marquez a cheat on The Fight Game was an abomination. that said, the way they treated Tim Bradley on the Pac-Bradley telecast was hideous, too, but i never saw you complain about that.

you're in this thread because you're predisposed against Hopkins. something about him bothers you, be it his public utterances, his style or his skin, so this thread gives you an invite to implicate him in recriminatory ventings.

what HBO said about JMM is not Hopkins' fault. if you want to talk about JMM being unfairly branded, bump one of the threads about it and i'll join you in expressing disgust at HBO's shameless peddling of their company agenda.

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

not after hiring mackie shilstone to bring him up in weight like he did for many other fighters in the past.

Bro, you're trying to reason with a guy in a tread talking about a colored fighter & peds sporting a Margarito sig. That tells you all you need to know.

so now anyone who lifts to bulk up should be suspected of peds? I put on 50 pounds in 2 years when I was bodybuilding does that mean I was doing peds and didn't know it?

Hope you're being sarcastic.

Margarito was another guy walked over by that network's dishonest corporate agenda.

i'm not attempting to reason with him, i know the kid's M.O. well. i'm just pulling his card with my own particular flair.
