Comments Thread For: Hopkins on Pacquiao: Weak Excuse, Take Loss Like a Man

[Redd Foxx]

If BHop weren't the crowned prince of bad excuses, he might have some credibility here. Hell, he's blatantly faked injuries DURING fights. At least Pacquiao had anactual injury.

It's kinda funny that Hopkins tried harder for a KO in the 12th against Kovalev than Manny did against Floyd. It also kinda sucks balls.

Arum and Roach are such old hands at this that they must know that pulling the 'I was injured' excuse usually just gets a fighter even more criticism. But they went in that direction anyway. Surely someone at Top Rank should've anticipated the NSAC response?

The irony of Bhop making those statements, lol.

The "i tot i wun the pite" angle was way more respectable than shouldergate. Maidana got a rematch just because he said he won the first one. That's all team Pacquiao had to do. We all know hes perfectly healthy that's why Arum already making plans for his November return.

Bernard should leave any shoulder related matters alone

Bernard is a G. He can show #48 how to get time out for a injury, stop the fight early by ND and get the rematch going before any buzz starts.

Its clear Pac is being victimised now.
Forget about if he had an injury before the fight. He injured his arm in the fourth round, so told the world. What is wrong with that? Floyd did the same against Castillo. Bradley made an excuse after losing to Pac in the second fight, as well as the first fight.

But people are making more of a deal of Pac?

Hops though....Hops...shoulder....not accepting losses...isn't that Hopkins way ?

Hopkins is entitled to say anything about boxing, minus shoulder-related statements.

Nah, he is a genuine great, so he can say anything he likes.

Pac is not the only guy who failed to live up to his hype, then made excuses.

[aboutfkntime]

pac man went out like a straight up sucka!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, the injury excuse is bull****.

Not one person, pac-tards included, even suspected that Manny was injured until the excuses started to flow. Nothing about Pacs performance suggested that he was injured.

The injury was an after-thought excuse, made to justify a rematch.

[hugh grant]

Floyd made excuses about a shoulder against Castillo. People didn't care about that though. The main issue was they thought Castillo was robbed.
