Is Bernard Hopkins a dirty fighter?

[ruthless rocco]

One more stupid posts to add to all of your other ones I guess. I hate when your mom lets you use her computer. So you really have two points: 1) Hop is dirty and 2) Hop is on PEDs.

1) it's a fight moron, it's supposed to be rough. Hop is the master at getting the other guy flustered and capitalizing on it. Yes, he fights dirty. That is one of my favorite aspects of his game, it's a fight and he uses every advantage he can.

2) Hop isn't any bigger than he was due his prime. He just doesn't dry out now to make weight. The guy is tiny compared to Kov n has a 28 inch waist. His Spartan diet and training are legendary, and the guy has great genetics and never abused his body. Still, he has shown significant decreases is stamina and punching power since his prime.

Your problem is that you are new to the sport so you have nothing to reference and assume that PEDs are the only way to remain effective at an advanced age. You've never seen what an animal and machine Hop was during his prime or how other older fighters like Jersey Joe Walcott and Archie Moore remained formidable into their later years (without today's nutrition advantages, scientific research and hops discipline) so you assume PEDs. One more thing genius: EVERYONE, including Hop is tested for PEDs. You should pay me for all I teach you...

Hmmm... Hahaha You're the best poster on here!

1) "It's a fight it's supposed to be rough." Yes, but there are rules to the sport of boxing and Bernard breaks them consistently and deliberately. Which, as I mentioned in my previous post is clearly shown in the video at the start of the thread.

2) He is clearly bigger when he fights at 175 than when he fought at 160 anyone can see that... BUT that's not my point. His use of performance enhancing drugs is obviously not for to bulk up and look ripped but for stamina and endurance and healing.

Are you familiar with Lance Armstrong? Is he a massive musclebound hulk of a man? No. Yet he did use every type of steroid and performance enhancing drug and illegal technique possible to gain advantage over his competition. He did it for years and never got caught. Maybe, since you have such admiration for Hopkin's cheating in the ring you may only consider PED another tactic to gain an advantage over the competition. You probably think it isn't cheating as long as he doesn't get caught. Just like you don't think it's cheating to deliberately headbutt and lowblow your way to a win.

Your statement about boxers being tested for PED is straight up wrong. It shows you know nothing about the reality of the sport. I'll provide a video of Kathy Duva talking about the lack of advance testing in the Hopkins/Kovalev fight in particular but she addresses testing in the sport of boxing in general. Surely you can admit that she knows more than you about boxing.

As for my interest in the sport, take it easy on me, I've only just started watched last year. HAHAHAhaaa!
