    Take his loss like a man. Not come off like a sourpuss claiming you won then accusing the NSAC of trying to sabotage you. Maybe I'm expecting too much from a fighter who once blamed his performance on the socks he wore.

        No fighter is ever 100% for a fight, and you just don't know how injuries will affect you until you enter the ring. It's part of the game. Ward schooled Froch with a fucked up arm.

        While maybe Pac wasn't 100%, he was still more capable than 99% of fighters against Floyd. It's not like one of one of his arms was totally gimped. He was still capable of fighting with it. In that same night, he would have probably been able to beat every other welter even with the injury.

            I hope it isn't true, but I think you might be right.

            Perhaps not so much Pacquiao's plan, but Bob Arum's.

              Tough injury but team Pac should have brought it up earlier at least they could have taken that anti inflammatory shot or delayed the fight. Poor effort.

                Maybe answer the medical questionnaire correctly
                you realize if they had marked down that he had a shoulder injury, that the NSAC would've been forced to post-pone the fight lol

                  In boxing, it's even more paramount to have healthy shoulder joints.

                  Floyd couldn't do anything to a man with one shoulder. Damn.....

                  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!

                    What were his options, really?

                    I'm gonna get banned for this thread but I don't care, It's an honest question.

                    Peace out if I don't see you guys for a while lol
                    good question...

                    as in showbizz, the show must go on...

                    specially a show of this magnitude....

                    imagine the backlash of a postponed/cancelled fight...

                      I saw Pacquiao using both arms throughout the fight, did you watch a different fight?
