Comments Thread For: Hopkins Feels Pacquiao's Big Power No Longer There

[hugh grant]

Seriously is this still being talked about? Pac is still outclassing fighters without koing them, so does it matter? Why are the standards for Pac higher than anyone in boxing? People expect Pac to ko everyone? Was SRR koing everyone when he moved up to supermiddleweight or whatever was his top weight, or what about Duran?

Pac ko'ed a lot more than his peers did anyway, so it don't matter. Pacs not in his prime now, so why should he ko everyone still? Hes fighting top notch calibre fighters nearly every fight, so it just wont happen kos. They just wont.

That's nice, now......

Why did it take until the Rios fight to test when he could have killed any su****ion Mayweather had by testing way before that?

Doesn't matter. He took them just like you all wanted him to so that way he could prove he wanted the floyd fight. [Floyd]if Manny really wanted to prove to floyd he wants the fight, he would do them in his own fights [/stans] So he does it, and you still get mad.

Why did it take Floyd 40 fights though? Here he was talking about, "that Manny Pacquiao, hes doing things nobody has ever done before". Ok, like what? Win 5 titles in 5 divisions in less than 10 years like Floyd?

Weird, I know. Brag about things that you do that nobody has ever done before, and then try to claim someone is doing something illegal because they win some fights in impressive fashion and take the boxing world by storm. So again, since Mayweather has been in the boxing business since he was practically born, and he himself has claimed they know things others don't, why wait until the 40th fight to "clean up the sport"?

I think its fair that since Pac entered the welterweight division he isnt sparking guys anymore. Obviously, the opponents are larger and can absorb more licks.

because he got sparked by a highly su****ious marquez?

serious question?

Wake the **** up. They are all juicing. Some of them have the decency to just shut the **** up about it. You really think a 50 year old dude in boxing like Hopkins is clean? You think a 37 year old Mayweather who makes $32m minimum on fights is gonna be clean in a sport so obviously riddled with fighters on PEDS?

Seriously, what planet are some of you people on?

I'm well awake, though some like to act like I'm not asking a valid question. I'm not oblivious to the fact that those guys may be juicing as well either.

you'd think guys would be like "wow, how come an even older pac can fight a full 3 minutes of 12 rounds, while the younger pacquiao was taking rounds off?"

coincidence that now that he has more stamina, he doesn't punch as hard? look at bradley, stamina for days, against pacquiao comes in throwing only bombs, gasses...

maybe pacquiao isn't going in trying to murder people anymore? maybe he's boxing now

he's been obviously, purposely throwing weaker shots, he's not falling in trying to punch through guys with every shot

For God's sake. Hopkins out of everyone, and I mean everyone, should be the last person to suggest someone else is on PEDs. It takes a special sort of arrogance and hubris to point the finger at someone else being on PEDs when you are one of the most ludicrously clear examples of being on them yourself.

Is Pac juicing? Of course he is, like everyone else in the sport. Just like JMM was when he knocked him out. And Pac knew it. But did you ever hear him call out JMM as a juicer? No, he kept his ****ing mouth shut cos he knew what was up. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Not like Floyd and B-Hop - if you think these two are clean, I don't know what to tell you.

I (mostly) love Hopkins but the dude is (mostly) full of ****.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Garcia's Dad again.

You really hit the nail on the head. Some dudes just got that Barry Bonds jealousy in them. Floyd in particular, could not stand to see someone else get more shine in what was supposed to be, in his mind, his era. So he opened his mouth, projecting blame on others in order to deflect the attention from himself.

"bu but Floyd is doing Olympic testing"

Uh no, Olympic testing is year round.

[SeekDaGreat]

Obviously, it's across the board that his power has diminished since he weaned himself off PEDs, right?

That's commendable from Pacquiao, to do drug testing after the su****ions peaked, he waited many years after. That's commendable as fuck, now you tell me how his ass taste.

Mayweather used PEDS I don't know why people complain
