    Thats exactly what both Pacquiao and Hopkins are attempting to do......buy innocence in a court of Law.


    The best a fighter who was clean could do, is object to them but take them anyways.......then after the findings are clean, and he's won the fight in the ring, then you take the accuser to court for defamation.

    .....but these turds are not interested in proving they fight clean, they just look at potential dollar signs over the fact someone's accused him.

    So what your saying is....you should fight a person knowing they are on PED's? BOXING? Not tennis, or track......BOXING!? This makes sense to you?

    (not talking about Pac or Bhop just refering to this ignorant statement)

    exactly there is so much positive in taking the test....even if you lose the fight you still can sue after you have taken the test and you still have removed yourself from the accusation....

    the shyt seems simple to me but hey....maybe its not to them

    I was thinking Pascal is acting like Floyd in reality.

    Can you imagine if the outcome would be also similar like that

    making Pacquiao beating Floyd's ass in that manner.:D

    I feel like Mayweather's crusade of cleaning up the sport is moving forward! Relax guys Money got this under control, soon boxing will be as clean as it was before! :deal

    Innocent untill proven guilty, rings a bell? If it wasn't for this simple principle, we would still be burning witches today (actually they still do it in uncivilized countries).

    B-hop and Pac have the right to defend themselves in a court of law because their images have been permanently tarnished. Being accused of using PEDS in sport is comparable of being accused of raping someone. Even if your innocence is proven, your image is forever destroyed in the public eyes.

    Mayweather and Pascal did behave in a very disgusting way, but fans tend to forget that.

    BHop said he has hired a veteran Canadian litigator to clean up any shadow left by Pascal’s baseless comments.

    In this regard, defending his hard-earned professional reputation, Hopkins is doing what Manny Pacquiao is doing in a Nevada court against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Golden Boy Promotions and others who Pacman claims have unjustly accused him of cheating with banned substances.

    Thats not true that his name and reputation is all he's got. He's a goddamn millionaire.

    For the people who never made millions on top of millions reputation is all we will ever have.

    2lbs of muscle a month is possible even for a guy in his 40s.

    Hopkins first fought the accuser, then sued.
    Pacquiao sues, then fights plodders and old men, while avoiding the test and the accuser.

    Beat that bitches.
