Bernard Hopkins: Like Manny Pacquiao, I defend my reputation

It must tough being a ***** nowadays. :yep

 

Pascal asked a question, got grabbed by the neck, then called Bhop a cheater. It was a press conference, with a lot of stress, accusation from both part, trying to make a good show, and everything. Pascal's team apologized almost right away and Pascal said after he didn't think Hopkins was using PEDs but drug tests should be something that the boxing world should seriously considered. Hopkins said in an interview that the court would mean: "more money for me". I don't think he has a case, specially that it will be in Quebec and the court is not known to impose that much of monetary consequences, 100 000$ at most for a reputation case, and there is a lot of "facteurs atténuants" (mitigating factors) in that particular case. The only ones who will make a lot of money in that situation are going to be his "jewish lawyers" like he said, because we know how they are... Go ahead Bhop, loose your money for your reputation...

 

Floyd has every right to ASK for testing.... NOT DEMAND it based on the ACCUSATIONS him and his team started aimed at discrediting Manny as a fighter. Which pulled into question his entire career and LEGACY!

It would have been different had Floyd ACTUALLY felt PAC was dirty and ACTUALLY WANTED THE FIGHT.

The way Floyd went about "Making" the fight proves he wasn't looking to square off with PAC. If he Floyd REALLY wanted to fight Manny he wouldn't have "rocked the boat".

he would have requested PAC take the test in a professional manner with out looking like a little sissy, poppin off at the mouth about **** he never planned to support with evidence.

You can't just go off on someone else, spreading damaging rumors that have the potential to hurt someones reputation and career! Just b/c you're scared or looking for a way OUT.

That's irresponsible and Floyd knows that.

 

It is being considered... There's movement at the state and federal level to impose stricter testing measures. it takes time...BUT, for those who are making a HUGE deal about the whole OSDT thing..

Why not do it themselves? If it's about principle and for the betterment of the sport, why not set the bar. Floyd should already be doing this as he created the platform that has brought more attention to this situation.

I mean...with or without the other side agreeing to the tests a "MAN" of principle who talks about it, should also BE ABOUT IT! If there are NO effects physically or psychologically then there's NO reason this should be CONSIDERED by those who are adamant about calling out others without offering up a shred of proof to support it.

 

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you : The dumbest ****ing poster on East Side Boxing.

Congratulations Divac, this is indeed a monumental achievement.

 

*****? Floyd is not my favorite fighter plus I could care less about what he does or say. When he fights I am a fan and that is where it ends. As for the whole Pacquiao situation I don't see anything wrong with asking for additional testing.

 

D actually knows boxing but he's an emotionally driven poster and he LOVES JMM. Needless to say since PAC is the man, he's a bit over the top with his campiagn to somehow change history of what happened in the PAC vs JMM situation. He's even jumped on the Floyd bandwagon as he's the most logical fighter who offers a real threat to Manny's crown.

 

Tests don't prove that anyone person is dope free. You guys act like it's a hall pass but it doesn't mean ****, the day after the test. Besides this reality, there are athletes in much higher profile sports as far as doping is concerned that have never failed a test, but have been proven dopers in raids and investigations.

Passing a test doesn't "really" prove ****. But accusing someone of doping w/o any proof whatsoever is warrant to make someone have to prove they are clean by taking a test that doesn't actually prove they are clean, except at the time of the test? Do you not see the problem on a fundamental principle?

 

Real talk.....people who are looking to defend Floyd reach for these "TAKE THE TEST" stance to paint Floyd as this "good guy" who is all about principle and the betterment of the sport.

They've gotten the wool pulled over their eyes! If Floyd was about cleaning up boxing and was telling the truth about his intentions he would be pushing this movement by his actions. He could be testing now....like ALL Olympic athletes who undergo these tests year round. Yet he's not....no one in boxing is who have voiced their opinion in support.

Which is funny to me.

 

Spot on post...And to add to your post...These are the same bitchass dudes that were just calling Hopkins overrated and some more...All of sudden since he's filing a lawsuit these same bitchass dudes are now head over hills for hopkins!:-(

Quite sad reading posts on here coming from some of these guys!:verysad

 

We got the same kind of ass clowns who LOVE Floyd that all the sudden LOVE Teddy Atlas b/c of his stance on the whole PAC/Floyd debate. :rofl There's different levels of "Support" for boxing fans. Some support a fighter but within reason...others are OVERLY supportive throwing out any sign of independent thinking or common sense.

 

The Lawsuit is not about reputation its about money, it will get settled out outside of court as it will be cheaper to throw out some "I'm Sorry Money" in exchange for it getting dropped, the facts will remained sealed and private.......

Pac and B-Hop are about to get paid

 

Your point is???:huh

That still doesnt erase my points...The very same clowns in this thread was just bashing Hopkins, hell even some went on the lenghts to call him a PED user, and overrated...Now all of sudden these guys are backing Hopkins because of some lawsuit?? Get real

The Atlas thing means nothing to me! this is about Hopkins!
