Honestly; would a drugs test hurt Hopkins?

i'd feel funny going back to sparring right after having needle puncture a hole in me and some blood taken, obviously it's a minute amount and in reality should'nt affect your body, but just at a psychological stand point

 

Is it impossible for Hopkins to be on the juice no

and if he beats Pascal to claim the oldest man to win a title in this steroid age people will be curious

he should take the test and thus prove he is innocent so that future generations or writers do not try and take anything away or blemish it

I mean a 45 or 46 yr old man who isnt at heavyweight performing better then he did 5 yrs ago against very good and skilled opponents

I mean in the first Pascal bout he threw way more punches than he did vs Taylor or Oscar 5 or 6 yrs ago

Im not accusing him but there is the possibility and a test would clear it up

sadly in this era of sports with all the cheating that goes on we unfortunately have to test legends and put icons in the meat grinder

 

though juicing cant teach the defensive and counter punching techniques perfected over a long career in championship fights

 

A 45 year old man still fighting at a competitive level despite looking washed up a few fights ago isn't more suspicious than someone who has merely put on weight?

If you think there's nothing between the two then you are one dumb ****.

 

Pascal is acting like a *****.

 

Yes, it would. This is psychological testing prior to the bout and believe it or not, it really can start to break down a fighter from that point on. It would mean that you gat something to prove when you actually don't ( to the official commission) and it is the first step to make concessions to your opponent. Okay, good that he's giving another shot at the title but he's also not moving from his hometown so where are we at? Jean pascal was told to use this manoeuvre to set Bernard off and Hopkins did well to show he was not in for it, that he's not playing along!

 

Random testing should be enforced in boxing ..

 

I'll break it down;

Stamina = Faded, he can survive fine against shot fighters (Jones) and fighters who don't fight for 12 rounds (Pascal) but against a Calzaghe who has terrific stamina he gassed after 6 rounds.

Punch Resistance = Rapidly decreasing, as seen in the Pascal fight dropped twice in the first half of the fight.

Punching Power = At one time he could put together powerful combo's and KO people not anymore though, when was his last KO? exactly.



And :rofl@you trying to brush over the suspicions surrounding Pacquiao.

You're one stupid ***git who wants to believe an older/slower/weaker/faded BHop is possibly juicing but Pac who is effortlessly moving through the weight classes strait destroying much bigger men is all legit and his hard work is what's behind his success.

Just for the record I think both Pac and BHop are clean but I was just playing devils advocate to show you how you've got your tongue stuck so far up your anus that you're actually starting to like the taste of your own ****.
