I am still not buying this shoulder injury bs any more than I bought the excuse that Roberto Duran had stomach cramps in his second fight with Sugar Ray Leonard. I also don't believe Pacquaio is having surgery on his shoulder as people in his camp claim.
I believe that Pacquaio will go back to the Phillipines and experience a miraculous recovery in two months or three months with no surgery. Afterwards (after the furor over this fight has died down), Bob Arum will announce that Pacquaio will be back in the ring fighting in October or November.
There is no way in hell any fighter would go into a fight with an injury that would keep him from punching just like Usain Bolt would not enter a track and field race with a broken foot. Pacquaio didn't injure his shoulder until after the fight when he realized that he had lost.Comment

If Pacquaio truly has a torn rotator cuff and plans to have surgery as his team claims, then he should retire now. If he has surgery, it will be at least six months after the surgery before he can resume training and nine months to a year before he can fight again.
He would be 37 by the time of his next fight and there is no reason to prolong his career at that age if he as planning to retire soon anyway.Comment

I defend mayweather on occasion. I have biases just like everyone else. There are things that are indefensible tho. This **** is indefensible by team pac which is why there isn't many willing to defend it. But u...look at your captain save a hoe ass. You ain't even on topic anymore lmao. Lets make this about me. Lets make this a bout floyd. Floyd ain't the people's champ. Floyd is already hated. Floyd is a horrible person. Whatever. So is manny apparently. Excellent boxer. But that whole humble schtick that you and your ilk buy is old. And the paint is starting to chip. But carry on bud. Fight the good fight.Comment
