Hopkins and Pauline is an embarrassment

OK, no problem.

So you know that Floyd fought with such an injury too against Castillo, right? Instead of crediting Castillo, he excused his performance on the injury.

So that said, Manny and Floyd both fought with it. The severity must have been different because Floyd came back after 7 months and that was 13 years ago.

For Manny, it was severe enough to have surgery. So it was not one of those where it heals up on its own.

13 years ago. Exactly.

Does turning a muddy dog into a muddy cat get rid of the mud? Psh..

This thread sucks worse than pacquiao did in that fight

No man.. That's consistent with my own knowledge of the injury. I had a strain type injury, and a simple jab would have been a "grimace through it" type of affair. My friend had an actual tear and he couldn't lift his arm above the level of his collar bone for a long time. I still don't think he's 100% even after all this time.

Manny was just throwing too fluidly and moving that arm too freely for me to believe he had a torn rotator cuff. No way. Some other ache or pain? Sure,,,, but a severe injury?......nah

A torn rotator is a very significant injury. I had a friend that probably tore his ACL and never went to the doctor about it. He was playing basketball and came down from a layup and he didn't land properly I guess and there was this "pop" as he described it.

Well, he was literally in a wheelchair (his family had one from an old surgery that a sister had) for 3 weeks right after this happened. His knee was so swollen it turned purple and was 3 times its normal size, possibly more. From then on, he was on crutches for another month and couldn't walk properly for about 6 in total. He was finally able to play limited basketball again a little over a year later. I'm just talking shooting shots in his back yard type basketball.

I just can't bring myself to accept that his [Manny's] rotator just split wide open and he showed little to no signs of it. He maybe laid off of the right a bit but I have absolutely no doubt in my mind whatsoever that he would have fallen to the canvas or turned his back on the action had his shoulder experienced the type of injury they are claiming.

Lol this fanboy got his feelings hurt when Bhop and paulie roasted and exposed team pac

Right... more like Paulie got exposed when it was revealed Pacquiao really did tear his rotator cuff. Nice job opening your big mouth Paulie you made yourself look like a fool.

LOL, Floyd wasn't all that impressive himself man, much like Garcia and that gift he got after Peterson whooped his ass.

Floyd said that he too had a rotator cuff injury in the Castillo 1 fight and blamed that instead of giving Castillo credit. Yet, if you watch the tape, Floyd did use both hands and came back after 7 months to fight Castillo in their rematch.

Now that I said that your hero said it, then it must be true right?

Hurting your rotator cuff and tearing are totally 2 different things...come back to reality

[malcolm]

I wonder how much Manny paid that doctor to confirm his bogus injury?

This doctor has credibility because he performed surgery on Tom Brady? Tom Brady? Tom Brady? Deflate-gate Tom Brady? LOL!

Manny did not have a torn rotator cuff. Vitali Klitshko QUIT against Chris Byrd when he tore his. David Haye said it was too painful to lift a cup to his mouth when he had a torn rotator cuff.

But big bad Manilla Manny can fight through torn rotator cuff, broken wrists and a punctured lung. And against Elite competition.

I think Pacquiao is really the DOS EQUIS man...

[ButtScratcher^^]

The problem is people don't know what is actually a torn rotator cuff. Probably because it sounds like just it's torn--like flesh torn, so they probably don't know how hurtful and debilitating it actually is.

If you are someone unlucky who have experienced this excruciating injury. You'll probably agree, that, this type of injury is somewhat a traitor, you can actually live with it without seeing a doctor, thinking you you're actually healed by time. But until you hit the wrong spot again, you will be reminded, courtesy of this huge sharp pain shooting upwards, you think you've been poked by the biggest needle in the world. It's not a persistent pain mind you, once you don't hit, or re-position your shoulder in a certain way, pain goes a way and until you hit that lucky spot again, you will be pain free for a while.

Now, not all torn rotator cuffs are the same. If you have a thick tissue genetically, you'll probably experience a more tolerable pain and probably will heal quickly as well. As for what manny had, I don't know exactly, but boxing with a torn rotator cuff is definitely a very very badass. Never in my life would do such a thing, let alone contemplate on doing it. But I guess 120 million dollars would do it for most if not all! hell yeah!
