    Kovalev didn't stop Agnew with a ''soft jab to the body''. 1. It was hard jab. 2. He damaged Agnew's rib in the previous round after really going to town on his body, hence why Agnew returned to his corner at the end of the sixth round and complained to his trainer that it was damaged.

    If what Mayweather stated was true then the blood test would not have mattered anyway. Once Pacquiao accepted the blood test and other terms Floyd stated he would never do business with Bob Arum. Why did he not say that from the beginning? Each demand was just an additional obstacle and smokescreen and some fell for it hook-line-and-sinker. Many of those understanding their boxing history saw this coming, it's nothing new. He had no intention of fighting him and if he finally did he would at least have tipped the deck in his favor in every way possible.

    I categorically agree and have made the same exact points myself. The problem is, people are less interested in the truth and more interested in defending him. It's analogous to a criminal defense attorney and his client. He doesn't give a **** if he is guilty or not he simply wishes to successfully defend him and achieve an acquittal.

    Funny how you bring that up but the whole drug testing was BS because first of all Mayweather has said many times that he would never do business with Arum.

    If Arum was the issue, Why did Mayweather OFFERED $40 million with NO PPV and drug testing to Manny Pacquiao knowing that he was still with Bob Arum/Top Rank?

    I thought Mayweather jr doesn't want to do business with Bob Arum? :deal

    Mayweather should have just said that in the first place, excuses and road blocks from Mayweather all the time.

    ***** :bbb

    I made a thread about this at the scene before the second Hopkins-Jones fight questioning both and asking this very question. He's suspect like any other fighter. That said, there have been plenty of fighters that have juiced and not come close to Hopkins accomplishments and longevity. So even if he were juicing its likely every other fighter is to. The man is just a freak. Steroids dont help athletes in any other sport his age so what he does goes far beyond suspected cheating. Just my two cents.

    You obviously don't know Shiite about steroids or ped's if you think 'Nard is juicing. The only juicing he's doing is spirulina.

    Why do you think Nard is against PED testing?

    Not everyone declines the same, just like not everyone ages the same. Just because you declined early at 40 does not mean he will..

    I see more 20 and 30 year old that look 50 only because they have no discipline to take care of themselves other then to drink, smoke and eat garbage.

    I am not saying I have declined rapidly and have no discipline. It's quite the contrary. I still get carded and I look 28/30 and have kept myself in great shape and weigh the same as I did at 18. What I am saying is that I know for a fact that I have do not have the same amount of testosterone as I did 10 or 15 years ago.
