was bernard hopkins a drugs cheat?

[Prince Madison]

Did you see how the racist reacted at the one presser for Pascal fight? Pure roid rage when asked to test. Only a guilty piece of **** would be against testing, ask for cut off dates to full random olympic style drug testing, or react as Hopkins did. Hopkins wasn't grilled harder to test either by the media sadly.

yeah i think people wanted to believe that he was some freak of nature but it seems like a bit of an anomaly that he was still competing well into his 40s yet many fighters who were actually better than him were shot to **** well before then. im not buying it that hopkins is the only fighter whos ever lived a clean lifestyle

He had ample opportunity to prove he was clean with USADA or VADA. Instead he roid raged and the boxing press let him off the hook. Then they overrated his wins because of his age. Thank God for Joe Smith Jr. and his white boi karma

Doubt it.

If Hopkins was a drug cheat, his fights wouldn't have been as painfully boring as they were.

this

he just had a style where anyone who kept in shape could continue to perform. once he moved up to 175 he wasn't even draining himself anymore.

He was

And now he's a sell out GBP mouthpiece, he probably won't go broke for a long time

[jas]

most probably yes but peds only take you so far

[Beercules]

He got his Karma from white boi Joe Smith Jr. at least. Was a fitting end to the boring, fouling, cheating cunt.

That **** was ****ing hilarious

BHOP was uniquely talented and gifted with longevity (and took the right steps -- training, diet, not blowing up in weight between fights) but if you logically look at it, he almost certainly took some kind of HGH and who-knows-what. If it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. It's like Hulk Hogan saying it's genetics and vitamins.

[Sun_Tzu]

Probably but I think they are all on something.

[Real King Kong]

Maybe TRT just to get his test up...

Yea and maybe some gh. No way a guy is competing as a high level pro in his late 40s.

Nobody knows, could of been. If he was he was taking the wrong crap cause his fights were boring and the PEDs didn't lend him any advantages at all. He was simply outthinking lesser opposition in the ring. You see what happened when he stepped up and fought better guys, people act like the Chad Dawson fight didn't happen.
