If some of you think PACQUIAO is on PEDs...then why wouldn't HOPKINS also be on PEDs?

still hasn't fought an african american fighter..

 

hopkins-

low work rate
great technical ability
does not rely on speed or athleticism
relies on defense and ring savy to win
hasn't knocked anyone out in ages
hasn't increased his power or workrate


Pac-

gained power and carried his power up in weight
relies on speed and athleticism
increased power and work rate
offensive style



isn't it obvious that Hopkins style is better suited to fit a 45 year old and be successful?

 

HOPKINS For a 46 year old !! :
1- Very good work rate
2- Still above average speed
3- No stamina issue and looking fresh as ever after 12 rounds, even after being dropped twice and getting nailed by big shots from Pascal through 12 rounds.
4- Was chasing Pascal around the ring for 12 straight rounds...may I repeat at 46 years of age...not 30 !! He wasn't just leaning on the ropes like Roy Jones trying to counter Pascal...he was chasing him !!


PACQUIAO :
Pacquiao increasing power is a myth. He just peppers with more combos the bigger but slower fighters at the higher weights. He hurts them through punches they don't see coming or an accumulation of flush shots...not any particular power shots ! No matter how big someone is, they can't keep getting peppered eternally without facing the effects...

The high work rate can now be explained by not havin to drain in order to make weight, therefore he stays at his optimal level from day 1 to the last day of training, eating all he wants non stop !!

 

Bernard Hopkins has'nt had one of these interviews!

Obviously, they can benefit one's physique...I'm not saying they cannot. But, this is not body building...it's boxing. Tim Bradley's performance inside the ring would make people question whether he was on PEDs or not...not his physique necessarily. But, it could (and probably would) also be used to support their arguments, based on the following scenario.

If he moved up 40 lbs over the course of his career and was beating up LHW's, given his stature of 5'6", the fact that he's been floored by LWW's, didn't really have 1 punch KO power at the weight, etc., people would accuse of him of being on PEDs. It would not matter that he is black, as this poster suggested....
