    One thing is certain: Hopkins is done fighting with Pascal. At least in the ring. Hopkins says he is moving forward with plans to file a defamation suit against Pascal in Canada for comments Pascal made on the press tour hinting that Hopkins was using performance-enhancing drugs. He says he has hired a "high-profile Canadian lawyer" to help with the lawsuit.
    "When you are foolish in life, you have to be held accountable," Hopkins said. "I'm coming after him strong. I didn't talk about [the lawsuit] before the fight because I didn't want it to look like it was sour grapes. I wanted to get the victory and teach him a lesson about my legacy. But I have never, ever used anything or taken any drug to bring out the best or worst in me to get an edge. I feel that at the end, when somebody says that you cheated, that person hasn't followed my life.
    "I never let myself get past 10 pounds overweight. You can say, 'Bernard, he's a loudmouth, he disrespects me,' and that might be true. But to call me a cheat, I have to go after his jugular. ... This is beyond boxing. If you are suggesting there is any doubt that I have done it the shortcut way, that is defamation of character. They were selling shirts out there that said, 'Take the Test.' I bought 10 of them and then we shut the stand down.
    "You can't do that. You can't say something that you have no proof of. Don't say I cheated, because of the way I look. I'm serious about this. ... My lawyers have been gathering stuff up, off of YouTube. They have those shirts. I have to send a message. At the end of the day, I was damaged."

    and a lawsuit to prove your clean why not a test

    suing people who accuse you is no way of proving innocence

    No, but its a good way to get money from people who bad-mouth you.

    Hopkins doesn't need to take any test, he wouldn't talk so much and be so proud of his accomplishments if he was on drugs.

    Where's the source of this? Kind of hard to believe that Hops would be this pety... then again, he's always been a straight up *******.
