    Just because the rest of the guys can't do what some of these boxers do at 40 like JMM or 50 like hopkins doesn't mean they are juicing. These guys live boxing, that's what they do.

    I believe that others for example Hatton would have lasted alot longer in boxing if it wasn't for all his bad habits outside the ring.

      Because Hopkins is an outlier, and in an era where drugs are rampant outliers are always going to be su****ious.

      In many ways it's not fair, but until you have an anti-doping system in place that is actually credible to the public then a lot of guys in the sport are going to have this su****ion hanging over them. That's just the way it is.

            This look like a guy juicing up to you?


            How about this?


            He has hardly any definition at all. He won the fight using skill and technique. Barely throwing over 300 punches in a 12 round doesn't sound like the epitome of cardiovascular endurance to me either.

            Give the guy his credit and quit saying he is lying now about his lifestyle because he has been singing the same tune for 20 years.
