Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: Pacquiao's Mistake Was Blaming Injury

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr., who also works as an expert analyst for HBO, was satisfied with the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao welterweight unification on May 2nd.

Jones was one of the broadcasters that night for the HBO/Showtime joint pay-per-view from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

While many fans were disappointed by the event, Jones was not one of them. Mayweather shut down Pacquiao's high workrate and won a twelve round unanimous decision.

After the match, Pacquiao said his performance was affected when a pre-existing injury to his right shoulder was further damaged during the fourth round. He had surgery two weeks ago. [Click Here To Read More]

Pretty much say its a legit injury.

The fact that Roy knows it was an injury before stepping in the ring. Tells us Pac wasn't fighting at full strength. He really was nursing a shoulder pain throughout the fight.

To some, Pac should have postponed the fight. The thing is 5 years he has been chasing Floyd and to give Floyd an out or a excuse for this fight not to happen wasn't an option Pac is willing to take.

And besides, 3 weeks before he was diagnosed with severe rotator cuff tear, the doctor advised surgery. So if he was to under go surgery, he will have to postpone a Floyd fight for at least 1 year. I don't think boxing fans will like that much wait when it's been 5 years of struggle already. It's not like it was a 1 or 2 month postponement. Surgery was needed. It will take a year. Pac was left to manup with all the circumstances that was in front of him.

The world was watching. Tickets were sold, celebrity booked there flights. Networks from around the world have close the deals for satellite coverage. There was no one stopping this train. Pac had no choice but to manup.

Roy was disappointed coz the viewers purchased a product that they expected to be @ 100%. That is understandable.

This only shows FLoyd won against a handicapped Pac who was @ the most 50% of his capability knowing his rotator cuff injury on his right shoulder prevented pac from using his right hand effectively.. Not to mention the unprecedented 13x blood drawn in a span of 2 months. While an average olympianis tested 3x in a year pac had to be blood drawn 13x in a window of 2 months. Red flag. Nsac, confiscating his vitamins and water before the fight, when obviously there was ped testing already and cheating wont happen with usada testing in place. Pac wasnt treated right. Pac was being treated unjustly and he felt like speaking up.. I can understand were he was coming from.

But in all this drama he still showed how great he was. He handled Floyd with one hand and to many people saw him winning. That's atg material right there.

Floyd won, so that's totally different than not taking a loss like a man.
