What was Pacquiao supposed to do?

[IMDAZED]

Again, a world renowned Doctor has confirmed a shoulder tear via MRI. I just answered your question like any educated poster would.



Do you not like tangible proof?

Yep. I wanna see them cut him open and perform the surgery. On video. Just like Pacfans want to see proof of USADA testing.

He could have told everyone about the injury,and they could have possibly postponed the fight. But let's be honest here,the same people that are ****ting on him for losing,would still be calling him a scared *****,saying that he was just looking for ways to pull out of the fight.

exactly......i don't care how renowned he is......i really don't give a damn about the injury to be honest because great fighters fight through it and don't make excuses. manny is a b!tch.

Don't they?

“He's got to do [the surgery],” Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said. “He hurt it after the [2008 Oscar] De La Hoya fight [in a Jet Ski mishap], and it got better.”

“His advisors concluded that with short rest, treatments and close monitoring, Manny could train and, on May 2, step into the ring against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“Manny continued to train and his shoulder improved, though not to 100%,”

THIS....

pac camp made a big mistake answering the pre-fight questionnaire..

they are taking medicine during training to ease the pain and inflammation of the injury. they could have the same medicine if only they answered the questionnaire correctly.. thus, the commission denied their request..

Tommy Hearns broke his right hand during the Hagler fight.

Did he complain? Make excuses after?

No, he took his loss like a man and kept it secret so it wouldn't take anything away from Hagler winning.

That is what a real man does.

Very few real men in boxing then because most of them do it. Floyd himself used the same injury reasoning for his close fight with Castillo.

Not excusing it but it's hardly unprecedented.

[FrankieBruno]

the excuse doesnt fly with me, his shoulder looked fine

he may of had an injury but he's exaggerated it

the fact is he was totally outclassed, his footwork was his biggest downfall and his lack of ability to read Floyd

he wudnt beat floyd fighting like that, period

[CatchAndShoot]

I told y'all Floyd was overrated. He ran from a one armed Manny who was 10lbs lighter than him. It really shows his lack of killer instinct. Furthermore, Manny put on a defensive clinic and won anyway. Watch the fight without volume and in semi-slow motion. You'll see Floyd miss a lot of those jabs and right hands. On everything!

Yep, he was missing tons of shots. Roy Jones commentating was straight up disrespectful. Lampley was also bad.

[lefthook2daliva]

If he had postponed the fight for the surgery, then he would have been out a few months and the fight would be cancelled.

Your premise is crap.

Therefore, everything that follows your premise is crap.

This fight wasn't going anywhere.
