Team pacquiao has been nothing short of pathetic...... Pacquiao is a lying ungrateful/ungracious pos! Arum is arum and the joke coach roach is by far the most overrated trainer in the history of the damn sport! 7 toty's my foot. Good riddance team Pacquiao, I never want to see you fight ever again and take your pacf@ggot fanbase along with you.....your fans don't deserve to watch this beautiful sport.

Pacquiao sure did have a disgusting amount of Acne all down his back. Post the pictures like y'all did Marquez.

Which is probably why he got tested so much, they noticed something weird in his blood/urine samples...... It wouldn't shock me one bit if pacquiao tried to cheat.

Fake an injury to get medication to mask other PEDs.

What's important here is pac's injury was true.

Being sore does NOT constitute being injured. Let's see the MRI, which I'm sure Arum is concocting as we speak.

I was expecting more out of both fighters but age has caught up to them. The combinations Floyd threw against JMM reminded me of the days he threw combinations at lower weights (135/140) and that has been missing a long time. And the combinations Pac used to spin off at 130 were impressive and more accurate than his last few fights. I told some guy at work that with all their strengths, the biggest strength is defense. People always rate which punch is the most important but the number one tool is defense. My pick of the last 3-4 years was Mayweather 116 to 112 with some people complaining about who won. Both guys should pack it in and ride off into the sunset. The best that can come out of the fight is both giving some money away because there is no way they need all that money to live on.

Read carefully:

"The medications he was taking were disclosed on his medical questionnaire, but not the actual injury."

The commission had no information about an injury. Manny could have been taking medications for migraines for all they knew.

It's reported that Arum claimed Manny had a rotator cuff injury similar to Kobe Bryant's. If Manny had an injury of this nature, it's ludicrous to believe that he initially took a few days off and got back to work with the help of some anti-inflammatories.

Acute rotator cuff injuries often require surgery, especially with athletes who hope to restore full strength, and even if the decision was made to delay surgery, the idea that Manny would have been able to resume full training so quickly doesn't seem realistic.

Of course, we wouldn't have to speculate if Manny and his team had actually disclosed details about the injury before the fight. The fact that they didn't doesn't exactly help their case.

Even assuming the injury is real, take away the injury and it would still not be enough to overcome the difference in tactics and skills and defense by Floyd. If a fighter literally cannot fight past the 3rd round due to an injury and the fight is stopped, sure there should be a rematch. That's not the case here. Milton McCrory injured his right hand and used his left jab to win him the fight against Roger Stafford. If Pac cannot utilize other tools to win, he is not as technical as Floyd and if they rematch, maybe the fight is a little closer but Floyd still wins.
