    Innocent until proven guilty. A warrior and a hall of fame fighter.

    i believe hopkins has taken tests for 25 years now...failed none, never been associated with peds....
    heres a (FACT) for you dumbass....he already was taking the mandated tests already in place for the pascal fights..... if you mean he didnt want to do anymore "extra" tests, then who gives a ****? doesnt mean a damn thing except he has the option to say yes or no when something is "requested"

    There was talk years ago about Hopkins doing hormone therapy. Possibly I can dig it up again but as I recall it was mentioned in a different context and not taken seriously.

    I would not be suprised.

    And I would not rate him at all. Just like I dont rate Mosley, Toney, RJJ, Vitali and so on.

    But right now he is an ATG and Hall of Famer.

    Hopkins has at least been clever enough not to get caught although almost anyone could realize that he has been taking something and not vitamins. Random test and hed be totally ****ed.

    Like I said b4, keep in everybody's minds, there is a group here in the Forum known as the Hopkins haters. A disappointed group I would say, praying hard that something like that would appear from nothing. Poor *******s.

    Everyone should have had raised eyebrows when he was the only one from GBP to side with Pacquiao's load of excuses.
    I already had my doubts about Hopkins when he went so fast from 160 lb to 175 lbs and looked bigger than Tarver.
    Once Hopkins so readily backed Pacquiao, I knew he was a PED user.

    Hopkins going ballistic at the Pascal press conference only backed up my what I already knew!

    Not only would I be surprised, I'd be ****in' pissed. BHop is one of the fighters I have the most respect for. Everybody keeps bringing up the Pascal presser but the fight was already signed and out of nowhere Pascal goes into a rant about testing. Everybody keeps bringing up Hops reaction but I would've had the same one. NOT because Jean was bringing up testing but because he was being SOOOO ****in' annoying. ****, just watching it I wanted him to shut the **** up. It's like in dumb and dumber when he says "do you want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?" That night to me, it was pascals voice.
