"Who's Keith Thurman?"

[QueensburyRules]

No, you moron. It would have been for NOTHING other than the same reason other athletes have abused it...to avoid pain. Just like it was for nothing during the Mayweather fight. His doctor went on record saying he was at FULL STRENGTH going into the Mayweather fight. Pacquiao himself went on record saying he had no injury going into the fight.





Yet, he tried to shoot up Toradol in the dressing room.

I don't know if you're a troll or just really ******. Probably both. Athletes that abuse toradol don't take it after an injury, moron. They take it before they perform. What grade you in

- -Yo, dimwittery, U started this by saying he tried to shoot up toradol in the dressing room because of a busted eardrum, ie before the fight.

Jus Dum...

I knew it. So Manny mentioning shoulder problems was just something he made up after the fight then. And those quotes are the proof. He didn't have any injury because he said he was 100 percent. What a liar.

Uh, that's not what I said, idiot. How would he know in the dressing room before the fight that he would have a busted eardrum during the fight?

That you can't comprehend this shows what a moron you are.

What grade you in? Don't bother writing back because you get no more attention, dumbo

I believe he tweaked it at some point in training. I also believe there was a surgery, but not to the extent that was reported. All of these boxers have some degree of wear and tear (which is why the doc said it was nothing out of the ordinary), and they often have to have a doctor go in and clean it up at some point or another. Mayweather had his shoulder cleaned up, but he waited after the Berto fight.

I think Manny decided to have his shoulder cleaned up after the Mayweather fight to further the excuse. But either way, it's clear he was going into the fight just fine. Then there never seemed to be an injury during the fight, no mention of one directly after, and the dude couldn't be arsed to do rehab. Yea. I never bought that excuse, but that's just me.

Me neither. It's only after Manny lost that we heard the injured shoulder excuse.

Manny knew if he postponed the fight he would likely not get another chance. It took him five years of chasing Floyd for the fight. Floyd himself said he deserved credit for being smart that he marinated the fight for all those years. Manny had a world class and highly respected surgeon diagnose and operate on his shoulder. It wasn’t an excuse it was a real injury.

[GhostofDempsey]

And Floyd insisting on strict drug testing was a way to not have to fight Manny in his prime, knowing Manny would turn it down at that point. Later Manny was older and more willing to go through the stricter testing because it was the best available fight for him.

Not only did he use drug testing as his initial dodge, he had the audacity to be caught cheating after the fight with the illegal IV. He was never dehydrated, he was masking something. T-levels don’t lie.

When you think about it, what better way to conceal your own cheating and PED use than to publicly claim you want to clean up boxing, insist on blood tests, and all the while you have USADA on your team?

Plus Floyd wasn't even approved for the IV until after the fight officially.

This was the same surgeon that was attempting to shoot him up with Toradol in the dressing room.

How much on the up and up can this surgeon be if he was attempting to shoot someone up with toradol who had no injury?

This was consistent with WADA protocol. They didn't change any rules for Mayweather.
