      I believe it, I also believe it wouldn't matter. Pac was to conscious of the counter right hand to recklessly engage

        If people believe this and that it affected the fight, then what's the excuse for the first 3 rounds? Because he couldn't do anything in those rounds either.

          No. If he would have at least grimaced when throwing a punch or have mentioned it in the corner, it may seem more believable. He sure as hell didn't look injured when he was lungeing and throwing combinations. Just seems like damage control. And that shoulder didn't have him running into counters all night.

            Sure. I don't think it had any significant impact on the outcome though.

              No.

              And I don't think Roach realises that this makes him look like a poor ****ing coach. Unless things were said, that I missed out on, you'd think that trainer of the year would recognise his fighter was injured during the bout.

              At no point was it mentioned and at no point did he show signs of his shoulder being fucked. After the fight, he didn't mention his inability to use his right arm; he complained about Mayweather movements.

                it wasn't 100 percent. He could still use it, but to beat Floyd you need 2 punching arms.

                  Yes he was injured. But I also doubt it played that big of a factor. He was trying to box with Floyd... That was similar to Canelo's approach. Can't beat Floyd like that.

                  I didn't see the workrate, fearlessness, relentless pressure that Pacquiao once had. ..Tragic.

                  Cherrypicker Floyd is too smart and has a good eye to know when he should fight certain opponents.

                    They never focused on Manny's corner...I don't even remember them focusing on Roach. ...Maybe once? Need to watch again,..cause I don't recall anything.

                      They have mics on in the corners at all times, we'd have been told if it had been mentioned.
