    I agree with you man. That was the excuse they used to defend their hypocrisy during the Pac-Mayweather negotiations. They will have no excuse with Hopkins

    hopkins don't need to take no test. Pascal should have made him take it in the contract. He didn't so it's his own fault.

    What happened to 'take the test if you don't have anything to hide'?

    ........actually for those of you who dont know, Hopkins was the only one at GBP who voiced publicly that he was on the side of Pacquiao as far as the drug testing was concerned.
    Hopkins stated something to the effect that he would not take any test his opponent demanded of him if it was'nt a commision requirement.

    .......I was already suspicious of Hopkins when in less than six months he went up from 160 lbs to 175 lbs to fight Tarver and ended up looking bigger than Tarver was.
    When Hopkins made that statement backing Pacquiao, it only reinforced my own suspicions of Hopkins.

    I doubt very seriously Hopkins would ever undergo PED testing if an opponent of his pushed for him to do so.

    pascal could have asked for testing when they arranged the contract. Why ask for it now. He not worried about testing, it just mind games. It's common sense.:patsch

    Hopkins wont take it, he was just sitting there laughing at Pascal asking him to take a blood test.

    If Pascal continues to ask for and Hopkins does'nt man up, he's a PED cheat imo.

    I doubt very seriously that Hopkins would have signed to fight Pascal if there was a stipulation there that he undergo PED blood and urine testing.
    Pascal probably knew this, which is why he's asking Hopkins for it now.

    If Hopkins refuses, Pascal will still likely fights Hopkins.....
    Hopkins however is being made to look bad and Pascal knows it.

    Pascal asking for the blood testing now, benefits him whether Hopkins takes the tests or not.
    If Hopkins takes the test, thats fine and dandy for Pascal, he goes in with the mindset Hopkins will be fighting clean.

    If Hopkins does'nt take those tests, Pascal is better off having asked for the testing than not because now he's gotten Hopkins nervous and under his skin.

    Getting under Hopkins' skin, yeah right! Calling for drug testing after signing the contact is an act of desperation at mental warware, and I think Hopkins' reaction surprised him so much it backfired.

    You don't want to motivate Bernard Hopkins to train harder, period.


    Regarding the GBP-Mayweather connection, there isn't one, dunno how people missed that last year it was Floyd's team who negotiated with HBO not GBP, he was seen together with King and rumor says he contacted Top Rank also on his own. If and when negotiations pick up, Golden Boy will not be the part of it.

    Regarding Pascal, he better save his energy to the ring, because he just gave a healthy dose to Hopkins.


    Bernard Hopkins is on PEDs: Pascal Ecouraged Dedication! :deal

    Pascal is a muppet. I want Hopkins to take the test, then it will show he is clean. Then Hopkins will beat Pascal and show that Pascal lost to a 46 yr old fair and square.

    Then i want to hear what Pascal has to say.

    Hopkins does himself and boixng a service by taking those tests, because if Pascal continues to press on this issue, Hopkins accomplishments outside of 160 lbs may be looked upon with suspicioun.

    man Hopkins vs Pascal contract is all signed and done, can't add this now unfortunately. doubt b-hops juices though and if that was a stipulation of this fight being signed and pascal woulda walked then i'm sure b-hop would have no issues with it. i still think he should just take the tests though cause anyone that refuses sounds guilty

    Just the same. If he doesn't have anything to hide why not just take the test, right?
