Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Don't Want Fans To Buy Injury Excuse

[jjsmyth87]

I dint know what makes the fight more tainted, Manny having a torn rotator cuff and got denied his shot on fight night, or mayweather working with memo fir the fight. I'm going to have to go with injury because Floyd couldn't stun or hurt pacquiao one single time

[OutClassed]

if Manny wants a rematch he should come back and beat Thurman/Khan/Maidana/Brook/Porter or someone along those lines. A win over one of those would prove he deserves a rematch.

this lol
ducking a healthy PAC??

[jjsmyth87]

I'm starting to believe the only reason Floyd didn't back out in the first place wad because he knew about the injury. He knows now he will lose against a healthy two armed pacquiao which is why he's ducking

[hugh grant]

..but NO ONE saw or even suspected a injury..did he complain between rounds? Did he do things during the fight suggesting there was a injury? .

Deary me. He didn't want to have the fight stopped so why would he complain? He was going to try and beat Floyd. Complaining during a fight is seen as a weakness.
He just had surgery so of course he had an injury. You just want the win to be legite, so you will say it effected him as little as possible.
But how do you know? He wasn't himself, so that's how much it effected him. He didn't throw many punches.

Its not a great win for Floyd. Its tainted.

This is the thing. If Floyd fans cant be honest about Pacs injury, how can you trust Floyd fans about anything? Did you actually think Floyd won the fight? Even if you say yes, how can we believe you, if you are being silly regards Pacs injury, with comments like show us the evidence Pac was injured with Pics and stuff like that?

Everyone thought Pac wasn't himself that night so again, don't be deluded. He wanted a painkiller before the actual fight happened as well? Did you think maybe because his shoulder was hurting if he used it?

Just be honest with yourself

Hugh, didn't he say it was better and he hurt it in round 4? Why would he ask for a pain shot before if it was better? Which is it? Pac wasn't himself because Floyd makes everyone look like that that. People saying Floyd ran all fight. I'd prefer if he would go for the kill more often but he prefers to not take chances and win on points which he was easily doing. In fact, it was the easiest of his last 4 fights. Floyd had his lowest output because he's a counterpuncher and manny wasn't throwing much, even in the early rounds where his shoulder wasn't hurt? that bad? Yet. If you think this fight ****** it's 100% Manny's fault for not forcing the action more (I think he'd got beat worse with this strategy) or he should have postponed if he was hurt that badly. Stop with the excuses. It's ALL on team Manny.

Not one of the analysts, pro's, trainers watching the fight saw anything wrong during the fight. No suggestion of it until Aum brought it up. Proof enough it didn't affect his performance.

Pacquiao didn't fight as though he was injured. He couldn't do any of the things he wanted to do from round 1 on. This shoulder injury stuff is just fodder for the rematch hype machine.

The fight of the century was disappointing and it hurt the sport. Manny didn't sound different than anybody else when all he could say after the fight was that "He didn't do anything. " and "He wouldn't fight me."

We ALL knew what Floyd's game was going to be, Pac included. And while it's true that it sucks that it wasn't a more exciting fight- it's also because Manny couldn't drag Floyd into one. That what's needed to happen, but Floyd's footwork was very on point and he kept the distance he wanted for 85-90% of the night. Floyd did exactly what he wanted to do. I saw very little evidence of Manny having issues throwing with both hands.

I thought the May-Pac thing would die after last saturday. Ive never been so wrong. this thjng is some how continuing.

I totally. I thought this "rivalry" would be dead after the fight, but it keeps dragging on like a zombie from walking dead. The fight is over, just let it go.

[richardt]

It is what it is. The first fight wasn't that great and selling a rematch based on the perception that Pac lost because of the shoulder wont sell either, except to small percentage. Sure, Pac could have performed better but it comes down to styles and I don't see Pac winning a rematch. Might make it a closer fight but Floyd can adjust on the fly and would change up a little to offset a better working Pac right hand.
