    It's not evidence. It's a mud slinging witch hunt, which as Azzer stated, holds no water.

    Again, if red flags should be going off about anyone using, it's Kovalev, not Hopkins.

    PEDs don't ONLY give you power, they aid in tons of other areas that Hopkins would greatly benefit from. I'm not saying Hopkins is dirty, but I can't blame someone for being suspicious of him.

    Op once created a thread called Why Wont Hopkins Go Away
    http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=60993

    he also created a thread which talked about how much power Calzaghe really had

    and another thread which talked about how Pacqoaio could never beat Calzaghe if they were the same weight

    and this thread http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=82644

    where he asked what kind of cheating bull**** is Hopkins going to pull in the upcoming Pavlik fight

    and in each thread he starts of by 'praising' Hopkins before laying into him

    need i say more?

    What about Kovalev? Wouldn't he greatly benefit from these things even more?

    So you agree then?

    Kovalev is more suspect than Hopkins? Correct?

    He is in shape, but he sure as heck doesn't look like he's using steroids. You never know with any of these guys, unfortunately, but I'm willing to say Bernard is clean.

    It's sad that NO athlete can excel without being questioned about PEDs. And so called fans/haters are the main finger pointers now. No longer do we celebrate special accomplishments. We just tear people down with constant negativity.

    Bhop is a legend and an ATG, period.

    Ok, and your point is? I do praise him but I think that there is a strong possibility that he is on something like other boxers. The reason why I bring it up is because the media and many fans are pointing towards his great accomplishments at his advanced age and comparing him to guys like Archie Moore who clearly wasn't on anything because they didn't have this **** back then. You have to admit fan or no fan that Hopkins has done some shady things in fights and is not beyond doing something in this fight against arguably the most dangerous opponent he has ever faced.

    As far as Calzaghe is concerned, I believe he is very underrated and doesn't get enough credit and I'm not even from the UK. I do think he should have come to the U.S. much sooner and criticize him for that. If you go back and watch his early fights he was stopping almost everyone and was characterized as "a puncher who could box a bit" by UK commentators. He talked about in his book how he experienced hand problems and had to modify his style in order to prolong his career. He became a "slapper" out of necessity not because he had no power to begin with.

    Yes, I agree that he is a legend and an ATG. Even if he is on **** I still give him enormous credit for taking on a monster like Kovalev because men younger than him have ducked him. All I am saying is that I believe there is a good possibility that he is on **** and if he is it would be quite hypocritical of him to characterize himself as "an alien", don't you think?

    It isn't nonsense, are you aware of the effects of TRT bro? When you age (and I know because I am 40) your testosterone naturally drops so you either accept that or if you choose to you can inject testosterone into your body to compensate for the loss and thus slow down the decline. If you don't take TRT then you decline because testosterone is what is required for strength and virility in general.
