    And demand him taking a full randomized blood based test up until the day of his rematch against Pascal?



    If I haven’t mistaken that is fully reasonable and fair opinion (according to Vivek).


    That´s only because someone questions his morality and his ability to perform like he did against Pascal. Logically he is too old performing like that and therefore he should accept this demand or else he’s a cheater.



    “There should be no exceptions in equality”


    If not,6 what about if Pascal demands full randomized blood based tests? What if Hopkins refuse, should we call him a cheater?

    Hopkins relies on technique, brains and years of experience and savy, not speed power and stamina

    All boxers in world championship fights should be subjected to random testing.

    You want to grow some opinions of your own son, rather than asking the internet what you should be thinking.

    You could test Hopkins until the day he dies. The man lives a clean life - he credits this to him being able to do what he does so well.

    As I feel Pacman rely on his speed, stamina and power I see him using them pretty nicely and I would have to say he is also a very good technician like Hopkins. And Hopkins was the aggressor on his fight against Pascal. Against Pascal he used his speed and good stamina. Pascal also said on an interview that Hopkins was strong.

    So.. what should I think about that. If we return to the orginal question - Is it ok to demand him taking a full randomized blood based test up until the day of his rematch against Pascal? And call him a cheater if he refuses?

    I already know its our right to question people. And I most defenetly question Hopkings conditioning. But I would never start to blame Pacman to a cheater if I hadn´t got any proof. And there is no proof what so ever. It applyes to Hopkins as well.

    General view is that its ok to question Pacquiao and blame him. Does this apply to all? Also for Hopkins?
