Comments Thread For: Atlas on Pacquiao's Injury: Nobody Wants To Hear It!

[raymosr]

ESPN expert analyst Teddy Atlas is turning his back on any discussion of Manny Pacquiao's performance being attributed to a right shoulder injury. Following this past Saturday night's twelve round unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Pacquiao claimed to have suffered an injury to a his right should about two weeks back. An MRI revealed a tear, said Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank.

Atlas was ringside for the fight at the MGM and saw no evidence of Pacquiao's shoulder being injured. He did feel Pacquiao was hesitant to get on the inside because Mayweather's quick jab and right hand counters were connecting when he made attempts to do so.

Pacquaio is a little biatch for using phony azz excuses! I didn't here him say it to Max Kellerman when he initially interviewed him after the fight. Usually that would be something that you say right away. The Nevada Commission knew nothing of this mysterious injury? And even if is true why bring it up. Pac was not only a sore loser and a pathetic boxer on May 2nd, but also a lying scumbag. And it's funny I didn't hear anything about God after the embarrassment. He's a fckn phony.

pac has been on the decline since 2009 I dot know why anyone gave him a shot to beat Floyd and these excuses from his team just makes me laugh and not respect him as a fighter

I never heard Atlas get at Mosley for saying he came into the fight with Pac with an injury when he lost. In fact I remember Atlas even downplaying Pacs wins with Bradley and Mosley by bringing up those injuries to justify it saying something like Pac had two injured guys in front of him and look at the trouble they gave him he never got mad at Bradley or Mosley for bringing up their injures as excuses.

I think a lot of people knew something was up in training camp, why Pac would only spar 60 rounds as oppsed to the 150 normal rounds, Roach should have did the smart thing once Pac shoulder was hurt postpone the fight, the tickets werent even released until the week before the fight and Pac was injured a few weeks before that according to his sparring partner.

I remember Kendall Gill said he had inside info from someone in camp that Pac wasn't looking good, he knew Pac was injured. When you bet on fights you have to take into account things like this, this is why Floyd is a good bettor and it carries over to his boxing.

He researches whats going on, he had someone in Pacs camp tell him and report to him. This is called Strategy, if Floyd really pulled at the arm that is smart boxing if you know the opponent has an injury and is coming in injured you go after it, like when Cotto jabbed at Margarito eye after Pac destroyed it.

I had a lot of admiration and respect for Pac right up to one thing that changed it for me and I don't see myself gaining the admiration and respect for him that I had. It all went sour for me from one thing Pac said that is disturbing to say the least. I have studied religion and spirituality from different angles and when Pac said "God will deliver Mayweather to me", that lost it for me. People can be a part of religion and spirituality but they do not own it and cannot act like God will use Boxing to "deliver" one man to the next!! The statement Pac made was ***ing creepy as hell. If that means other Pac fans will see me as a traitor, so be it. Pac's spirituality and religion isn't FAKE, it is TWISTED and I think that is worse.

This was a ploy to get a rematch...they cooked up this injury crap well in advance...that's why they knew nOT to disclose that injury on Friday which have allowed Manny to get a injection on Saturday if the injury was legit they would've had to show proof of the injury...and if Mayweather already knew about it there was no reason not to disclose it Friday...smh

nobody wants to hear you ever teddy, you're a guy who has said pacquiao was on peds for years then you curse him with your pick. Begone!

pac should have took that test in 2009 like he did for this fight... This way teddy or anyone else wouldnt have had anything to say. Either way the cookie crumbles, u pac fanatics lose

[champion4ever]

I think that the only reason why Pac, his fans and sympathizers are bringing this issue up is because he was so badly outclassed by Mayweather in the ring and as a result lost the fight.

It's a form of copping out because had he been victorious, we probably would have never heard a single peep about a shoulder injury that he had sustained in training. For example, Leonard injured his eye in camp training for the first Hearns fight; A fight in which he was initially losing.

However, he bit down, dug deep and eventually won the fight by way of TKO in the 14th round. Therefore, as a result we didn't hear a single complaint or excuse from him about the eye injury afterwards because he was victorious.

Exactly. They are trying to get paid twice for this mismatch.

You do know if Manny gets a rematch he is actually going to have to, get this...fight Floyd again. Is it going to be the legs next time? What will the excuse be when he loses in an even more convincing fashion?
