Manny is the biggest b!tc# in boxing. The only time he hasn't made an excuse for an L is when Bradley won the first fight which he should have complained about because he had a case. He feels like crap because he knows he ain't do jack nelly. His face said it all during the fight.

I dunno, I find it kind of interesting. Not to excuse the loss (he would have lost anyway - it's not like it was his killer left hand was unusable) but it does give some more context to the fight. This is the dude who basically took it on the chin when he got jobbed in the first Bradley fight, so when he talks about this injury, I'm inclined to believe him (on top of sparring being cancelled and a sparring partner confirming his shoulder got hurt).Originally posted by -MAKAVELLI- View Post
I know people on this site get bent out of shape when fighters make excuses - but if he had a bum shoulder, is it so bad he mentions it? Does he pretend it never happened just to appear classy?
The thing regarding the vitamins and water is kinda weird too. I would like to hear more on that.Comment

Manny Pacquiao mentioned his right shoulder went out in round four after his big flurry had Mayweather in trouble.
When pac was T'ing off, I can even see that he could have finished floyd right there in the 4th, but when he was about to, he suddenly bizzarely stopped his relentless attack off the ropes.
Now we know that right shoulder tore up during that flurry.
Pac mentioned that He couldn't throw a power hook or power jab after the fourth.
His right shoulder injury was aggravated when he threw a barrage of punches during the 4th round, and from then on he was nursing pain till the 12 the round.
Pac mentioned that he was only at "60%" on fight night but said he still felt like he won.
With all the stacks against him he powered through, and some experts even said he won it with one arm doing it. Now that's impressive.
The heart of a true warrior. Stand tall Manny!Comment

How about you use some common sense.Originally posted by Guerrero's Dad View Post
It was easy not to say a thing about his loss to Bradley because the world believed him. People were angry on his behalf and few believed he lost.
Mayweather beat him officially and in the eyes of those watching. It has created the need of rebuilding his reputation.Comment

No, no, no, no.... just NO! Dude said his killer instinct was back a day before the fight and that God was going to deliver Mayweather to him so why in the hell would he be talking so damn confident if he knew he wasn't 100% going up against the best boxer in the sport? Manny is a sore, pathetic loser.Originally posted by Guerrero's Dad View PostComment

Manny is far from a sore pathetic loser. The dude is a legend of the sport.Originally posted by GRUSTLER View Post
And of course he and Freddie were going to talk confidently. Are you ******? What are they going to say, that they're unsure of victory due to a bum shoulder? They have to keep up the pretence, even if it is to delude themselves.Comment

I wonder how many shills Bob Arum has on this site. When you think about it, this site is one of the largest social hubs for boxing. I wouldn't put it past a promoter to have certain individuals placed in those areas in an attempt to sway opinion.Comment

If it was such a big deal, dont go on lying to the public that you feel great and that you are going to win the fight.Comment

Unbelievable. Take his ass back to Macau then. God I hope Floyd doesn't give these whiny ****s another payday.Comment

That's the thing, with a freak injury it was clear people were gonna hop on the "excuses, derp" bandwagon, freak accidents happen and it appeared to be the case in this fight, the 4th round flurry was weird, he ended it then took a step back, the whole night just felt off, I believe the shoulder paid a key role.Originally posted by Guerrero's Dad View PostComment
