Comments Thread For: Canelo on Pacquiao's Injury: I Would Have Pulled Out

[Mick6]

Mayweather has been fighting with brittle hands, using damn near pillow gloves for the second half of his career and you, your mentor, nor Pac couldn't beat him, so I understand where the salt is coming from. Have you ever wonder if Mayweather had solid hands, how more beaten up you guys would have been? Maybe even stopped, because before his hands problem, dude was firing on all cylinders with such grace and skill, something you, your mentor nor Pac has ever done. Mayweather is a supreme talent, and I have been watching boxing since the middle 80s and can say with an unbiased heart that the man is gifted.

Although this is just conjecture like almost everything in boxing until fighters actually fight, I think it's a great point. Even with better hands, punchers gloves, Floyd would not stand and exchange but his counter right could be devastating.

You don't know that. You can't say "would not."

You can say however, "I do t think he would..."

Or you can say whatever you want and risk the integrity of your comment. Your choice.

Semantics on this site? I thinks it's a pretty safe bet that Floyd wouldn't stand and exchange toe to toe but I guess I can't be 100% sure of that.

Just saying man, if you're going to throw in the 'what if' in regards to Floyds hands not being brittle. Than you have to throw in the possibility that if his hands weren't so brittle that it may have led to him standing around longer and being at risk of being hit with a few more punches, and one of the punches could have hurt him, stopped him. Etc.

pac did the right thing where he went wrong was blaming it on the injury and doing a complete pr campaign after the fight. if they would of just let the news come out people would not be so mad at him but fact he went on an epic excuse making wont admit he lost press conference hell never live that down

Why should he admit he lost when he knows he didn't? The shoulder injury just prevented him from doing more to make that clear.

Pac was outclassed and he and his minions cannot accept that bitter pill.

Why should anybody accept something so false? Pacquiao wasn't "outclassed". It's now been shown as clear as day that he really did beat Floyd and was robbed big time...and this is all with an injured shoulder.

Pulling out isn't always 100% though. I pull out all the time and I still ended up with 3 kids.

you are supposed to pull out before, not after...

[DoubleLeftH00k]

i lost respect gor pac too
come on ur fighting for your whole country men and your keeping secrets from them that u werent 100% ready????

the guy is just as greedy as floyd and arum
pacquiao just went with it for the money, greedy arse

[DoubleLeftH00k]

u dont really have to pull out, there should be another way to posponed the mega fight come on if floyd wont want the fight anymore if its postponed then he could have been sealed as a chicken

Summarizes the situation well. However, Pacquiao's "professional" advisers erred. Pacquiao is not a Guerrero or Ortiz. He is as big as Mayweather. You don't enter a fight with a rotator cuff injury. Ridiculous advice. Obviously Pacquiao would want to push through with the fight. His advisers should have made that decision for him. Tells me his advisers are all goofs.
