Manny helped NSB separate the "weak from the obsolete" so I guess every cloud has a silver lining.

Had Manny fought as hard as Rath is defending him, we'd have had a great fight for the ages.

As a pac fan, it was HIS JOB to give us an entertaining action packed fight. Floyd did what he ALWAYS done, call it running, dancing, or boxing or whatever, but that's how he fights! Alot of Pac fans I know who follows the sport highly criticized Pac's performance, NOT Floyd's. Sure alot of casuals still poke fun of Floyd being a 'boring' fighter, but that was expected. It was Pac's performance that was extremely dissapointing.
Even the post-fight conference was handled terribly by team Pac. Floyd on the other hand carried himself extremely well, was gracious to Pac, and I applauded him when he started putting the media in their place about 'eating their words'. He even answered the 'injury' question perfectly.Comment

For anyone who still believes Pacquaio and his team made up the injury, here you go:
But let me guess, a serious torn rotator cuff isn't a big deal?Manny Pacquiao will undergo right shoulder surgery later this week to repair a "significant tear" in his rotator cuff, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache told ESPN.com on Monday night.
"We have an MRI scan that confirms he has a rotator cuff tear. He has a significant tear," said ElAttrache, who was still with Pacquiao at his Kerlan Jobe Orthopedic Clinic office in Los Angeles when he spoke to ESPN.com.
ElAttrache said Pacquiao will be out of action between nine months and a year, assuming the surgery and rehabilitation go well.

The day for the surgery has not been set, but it will take place in Los Angeles, Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz said.
"After speaking with the doctor, it was determined that the best method and approach is for Manny to have surgery," Koncz said. "Manny is doing OK."
On Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) lost a unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) in their long-awaited welterweight championship showdown -- the richest fight in boxing history and one of the most anticipated bouts of all time.
"Manny did the best he could under the circumstances," Koncz said. "We have to give Floyd credit, too. Floyd was the better man [Saturday] night. Floyd did a tremendous job, and he won the fight."
Pacquiao, known for his aggressive style and all-out attack, was clearly not the same offensive-minded fighter he has typically been, and after the fight, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said Pacquiao suffered a shoulder injury in training camp about 2½ weeks earlier and that it hampered him in the fight. ElAttrache said surgery was the only choice for Pacquiao.
"Once you know he has a tear that's not going to heal on its own, then the decision for an active person is you want to try to fix this before it gets bigger," ElAttrache said. "If all goes as expected with the surgery and the rehab is successful, Manny could be back training in about six months. At that point, he will be regaining strength and endurance, and competition is reasonable within nine months to a year. But this is a severe enough tear that it won't heal without being repaired."
ElAttrache said that Pacquiao was able to get through the 12 rounds against Mayweather because he "modulated his approach. He moderated what he did with his right hand. His punch count was less than it has been. He did alter the way he fought to get through the fight with the injury. He is in pain."Comment

Dude, you'd have some credibility if this wasn't the same fighter that went for stitches 2 months after a fight at the behest of his promoter despite his dr. the ring side physician, and the dr. that treated him after the fight didn't feel stitches were necessary.For anyone who still believes Pacquaio and his team made up the injury, here you go:

This is a guy that threw punches with that arm, played ball and did everything normal with his arm. He just didn't win the fight. Not because he was hurt, but because he wasn't as good and was never as good at any time in his life.
Dude, Manny and Bob are lying to you and shaming the sport. Have you no respect for yourself? Do you hate Floyd so much that you would go out like this?Comment
