    I did that a long time ago back before Pavlik. Alien is new term for rejuvenated by chemicals. Fact is though, Boxing is one of the easiest sports to cheat in. Whose to say Sirgay isn't on them?

    kovalevs trainer and manager both said they dont believe hopkins is on peds

    kovalevs promoter said she thinks the commision should do testing

    hopkins is on a ped no other fighter has? let me guess, this special PED makes him 20 years younger. naazim richardson makes it in the laboratory, he secretly has a chemisty degree

    Put it this way, if he wasnt on the gear for his next fight, he would get obliterated. No 50 year old in the world is gonna beat Kovalev in the ring

    At least his drugs gives him more of a chance, which makes it more exciting for de fans

    At the very least Hopkins in on TRT/HRT. Anyone who denies this is quite simply a ******** of the highest order.

    Whether Hopkins is on **** or not, I don't care how great he is there is no damn reason why a 50 year old should beat a 31 year old very good boxer with crippling power. This isn't Holmes vs Butterbean. Krusher is a skilled boxer on top of being a brutal puncher. If Kovalev loses he was overrated.

    Niether did Lance Armstrong. You should know that being on PED's does'nt mean being muscular.

    I remember one of my coaches who attended a IBF convention meeting saying that Hopkins would only eat salads during the buffet, and the next morning would find him training in the Hotel's gym center. This was while he wasn't scheduled to fight. The man is more dedicated to his health than most boxer's in their off season.

    I am sure he is on TRT at least. He doesn't ever fight in vegas.

    He certainly is, but more on the EPO and HGH side. Anyway it's also true that he doesn't rely much on strenght or conditioning, in his fights he always throw very little punches and then clinches, or keeps hitting while holding, stuff like that doesn't burn much energy.

    His gameplay is very simple and always based on landing a punch or two a fraction of second before the opponent does, and then ramming him with the forehead or the elbows or the shoulders.

    Very basilar and simple.

    Sergay looks like ****, he looks worse than Hopkins himself. He's also slow as frozen mollasses, and his stamina is nothing exceptional. He may easily be on gear, he probably is, heck, he MUST be like every other professional, but if you read his broken interviews he sounds like the last man on the earth to know anything about peds.

    Because there would be more 49 year old fighters in the sport doing or at least attempting to do what Hopkins does/did.
