    Hopkins has never refused testing maybe? Its not like he is a high volume boxer. He fought at his pace that whole fight. Quit hating basically.

    No hating here, just he didn't have that kind of stamina against Jones and at the end of the fight he was exhausted. Jones thew nothing at Hopkins to slow him down. Yet against Pascual he is vibrant at the end of the fight. Explain it!

    He also looked sluggish against Calzaghe, towards the end of the fight. Calzaghe did bodywork, Pascal did very little. The RJJ fight he pretty much was in control throughout, how do you know he was exhausted? He didnt exactly collapse after the fight. That fight was really kind of slow action wise, maybe he was just playing up like he tried harder than he actually did.

    Did you get this idea from the Michael Marley article?

    Double Standard? Hopkins Praised, Pacquiao Smeared - Boxing News

    He did train with Roach. Maybe Roach gave him some special stuff. BTW, FLoyd Sr. and the Mayweather clan are now saying Amir Khan is on something too, because he took Maidana's power.

    I am not suggesting he is juiced, but I have to say that I find it really odd how in some fights he seems like and old man who has nothing left and then suddenly in his next fight he is like a 22 year old again

    Hopkins is experienced and slows the pace down to his level. Also he has kept in good condition so that should explain it. Also he should retire on a high.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
