Thread: Is Bernard Hopkins a dirty fighter?

PEDs allow older fighters to maintain that same level of STAMINA. Hop doesn't win with his stamina, he uses guile and smarts to control the pace and win. Write this stuff down because it will make you sound smarter (not hard for you) in the future.

As for testing, they are ALL tested for banned substances, which include PEDs. If certain fighters want to subject themselves to increased testing similar to what is found in the Olympics, good for them. Only an idiot would complain that a fighter follows the required testing though. When Olympic style testing becomes mandatory, of course Hop n every other fighter will comply. Put more thought in before you post. Use your head, that's the lump three to four feet above your ass...

There is a lot of misinformation in this post. I respect your knowledge man but this post has many errors.

Hmm... why not? He does it all the time.
Why change old habits now?

Throw around baseless accusations, I mean.

Well that is a true statement. We can go all the way back to the turn of the 20th century to the present. I think Ali, Marciano, Holyfield and Wlad are all/were all dirtier then Hopkins.


In addition Hopkins longevity is not evidence of roid use. Its evidence of smarts. The guy has not stopped a fighter in 10 years.

yeah i know its true

funny thing is its coming from a wlad klit fan, a "great" champion who wouldnt be champion if he didnt hurrendously bend the rules

ill keep preaching

Appreciate you respecting my knowledge, just wondering what errors you are talking about?

Sure I can @Master. I'm applying all my life's experience and the old addage that if it smells like shit and looks like shit and tastes like shit then it's...?

I'm having a hard time connecting how your experience in looking, smelling and tasting shit translates to this conversation of Hop and PEDs. Also, probably a good idea to keep certain personal habits to yourself...

Fourteen years is nothing to scoff at.

Incredible.

Archie Moore made Hopkins look the fancy boy. Ok so Hopkins is the dirtiest fighter since 2000 lol
