If some of you think PACQUIAO is on PEDs...then why wouldn't HOPKINS also be on PEDs?

Surely Pacquiao going up in weight and being as successful keeping his speed and power could easily compare to Hopkins fighting being nearly 46 years old while displaying the stamina of a 28 year old, not to mention his surprizing speed.

I remember Hopkins looking like a faded fighter against Howard Eastman before also averaging a low punch output against Taylor.

Three years later at 43, he gets in the ring against Pavlik and suddenly looks like a 28 year old again, thowing combos from every angle and every round.

Two years later against Pascal at 45 this time, after having a few ordinary performances prior to that one, he once again looks like he went back in time fighting like an energetic 28 year old.

Know that I am entirely convinced that Hopkins isn't taking PEDs just like I'm also as convinced that Pacquiao is clean.

The thing is...why don't anyone question Hopkins when so many question Pacquiao ? Double standards perhaps...?

 

I think there's already been a thousand threads if not more to point out that Pacquiao was an under trained and malnourished young fighter back in the Philippines.

He has also kept the same "offical day fighting weight" now that he had when he was at 130lbs back in 2004-2005...

Hopkins is 46 years old and no one has ever been able to look as good as him in a ring against top fighters at such an advanced age..

If Pacquiao brings doubts to some...I certainly don't understand why an old man doesn't !!

 

Foreman looked like an old fighter but he kept his incredible power, so as a heavyweight it only takes one punch to change a fight and that's what he did against Moorer...

 

We have no idea what Hopkins does because he never talks about anything. Just like he never lets people know about his private life....

Guys like Pacquiao or Mayweather simply attract more attention outside of the ring...
