Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: Pacquiao's Mistake Was Blaming Injury

[786]

This is why Martinez never seem to blame his knee when he lost to cotto.

Possibly but he also said he didn't want to take anything away from Cotto's victory, respected him for that whereas a lot of people lost respect for Pac. Has he even given Floyd any credit at all for his victory?

losing more and more respect everyday.

Seems even Arum has turned his back on this mess

It was an American conspiracy. Even Roy Jones Jr showed his true color, he conditioned the minds of the audience to make it look that Mayweather was dominating the fight but the truth was Pac was the clear aggressor and landed more punches. Floyd did not win that fight, Pac is the winner as seen by the entire world. Shame on Nevada, shame on America.

Manny has been surrounded with an army of yes-men for over a decade now. The amount of pride and self-righteousness that he's built up inside of himself has made him oblivious to his own shortcomings. Which explains why it's so difficult for him to admit defeat.

Try watching the fight again with the audio off. You will see the fight differently.

Manny won so he can make excuses for the lackluster fight if he wants to. Roid Jones is the posterboy of excuse making by the way so whats he on about?

Pretty much say its a legit injury.

The fact that Roy knows it was an injury before stepping in the ring. Tells us Pac wasn't fighting at full strength. He really was nursing a shoulder pain throughout the fight.

To some, Pac should have postponed the fight. The thing is 5 years he has been chasing Floyd and to give Floyd an out or a excuse for this fight not to happen wasn't an option Pac is willing to take.

And besides, 3 weeks before he was diagnosed with severe rotator cuff tear, the doctor advised surgery. So if he was to under go surgery, he will have to postpone a Floyd fight for at least 1 year. I don't think boxing fans will like that much wait when it's been 5 years of struggle already. It's not like it was a 1 or 2 month postponement. Surgery was needed. It will take a year. Pac was left to manup with all the circumstances that was in front of him.

The world was watching. Tickets were sold, celebrity booked there flights. Networks from around the world have close the deals for satellite coverage. There was no one stopping this train. Pac had no choice but to manup.

Roy was disappointed coz the viewers purchased a product that they expected to be @ 100%. That is understandable.

This only shows FLoyd won against a handicapped Pac who was @ the most 50% of his capability knowing his rotator cuff injury on his right shoulder prevented pac from using his right hand effectively.. Not to mention the unprecedented 13x blood drawn in a span of 2 months. While an average olympianis tested 3x in a year pac had to be blood drawn 13x in a window of 2 months. Red flag. Nsac, confiscating his vitamins and water before the fight, when obviously there was ped testing already and cheating wont happen with usada testing in place. Pac wasnt treated right. Pac was being treated unjustly and he felt like speaking up.. I can understand were he was coming from.

But in all this drama he still showed how great he was. He handled Floyd with one hand and to many people saw him winning. That's atg material right there.

The grimpy ****-dad exuding more energy on Manny's convincing loss to Floyd haha.

Keep it coming.

Lmfao 44-4 lololol.

Roy knows this is nonsense.

So Pac is sporting a sling two days after the fight, and the media & public aren't going to probe? Please. They would have dug further, found the injection request, and this whole vogue lawsuit mess would still be going down (in fact, it would be worse bc people would feel like they were trying to cover it up).

I've been watching boxing for 17 years and the two things you can almost count on in a post-fight interview are:
1) first and foremost thanking their imaginary friend
2) losers bringing up an excuse of some kind

It's nothing new; just happened on the world's biggest stage
Pac's biggest mistake was claiming he won. He'd have a far greater case if his camp said it was a draw, even though May won by a few rounds (still hardly a one-sided beating like May's fans wish it had been)
