Comments Thread For: Marquez: Pacquiao Should've Withdrew From Floyd Fight

[IronDanHamza]

I don't know how many times I have to say it. I do not buy that the shoulder injury had any influence on the fight. Did that go in?



Even if that's accurate, and I'm sceptical, Pacquiao needed surgery and 4-6 months to heal. Floyd fights May/September, and he has shown those dates are everything to him, so when was the fight going to take place?

Oh it went in.

As did your subtle, roundabout excuses.

Pacquiao only aggravated the injury during the fight, remember? Was it the 3d or 4th round? Either way, a postponement might avoided any surgery as it was getting "better and better" according to Roach. Instead of talking about the kind of man Mayweather is due a hypothetical situation that didn't occur, talk about the kind of man Pacquiao is due to a situation that did..... him losing.

I just posted that the fight was already in jeopardy and Moonves had to be called in to save it at the last minute. This wasn't a rock solid agreement, it was all tenuous and you can be sure there was no provision for September.

It took Pacquiao 6 years to get Mayweather in the ring, if he delayed it that could have been it. There are no parallels with the Marquez fight which Floyd himself chose as his comeback fight from retirement.

In any event, Pacquiao needed surgery and 4-6 months to heal.

It didn't take Pac 6 years to get Floyd in the ring. As you see if Floyd didn't have a chance encounter with him at that basketball game and then the meeting in the hotel the fight would had never happened. Bob Arum was the one impeding the fight.

Obviously the shoulder was not an issue, that's why they put "no" on the questionaire. Pacquiao said he reinjured it in the 3rd/4th round so clearly he was fit enough to fight. He didn't look in pain but rather confused and at times very frustrated.

Has Pacquiao ever looked this mentally zapped before?

Doesn't sound like it.

The shoulder injury had no influence on the fight as far a I'm concerned, I can't be any more clear.

I could easily argue the shoulder injury made a difference, but I don't believe it to be true, that's my opinion on it.

It's possible, but it's also possible he re-aggravates it. Negotiations for this fight were amongst the most acrimonious in boxing history, I think in that position and factoring in that he felt it had improved, he really had to take the fight.

oh boxingscene. When are you guys gonna stop ripping off Golpe a Golpe every friday? You guys can at least put on the article that he said it on Golpe a Golpe, the boxing program he hosts on ESPN Deportes.

Pacquiao should have just taken the L and went about his way. Either people don't believe him or feel he is wrong. Totally tarnished himself.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Pacman can't think about retirement yet, not with all the tax debt to pay and the potential massive financial losses via lawyer and court related fee's. If he is lucky they won't make an example out of him by making him have to pay that 5 mill to the class action law suit filed against him because that would open the floodgates for him to get his money ****d.

[bigjavi973]

he's absolutely right. Pac and his team have no one to blame but themselves.

Not only that if the shoulder injury was true he wouldn't have it in the position he has it in that picture. His arm would had been dangling down
