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

[SplitSecond]

Still, forgive me. It was never my intentions.

Who's doing the surgery?

dr shaw high, the best doctor in the business, apparently i dont even have to show up for the procedure, he'll just send me a sling

i'll be off playing tennis that entire afternoon before i get it in the mail

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.

People saw #48 get dominated! I guess Froch and GGG are *****'s now too huh? LMAO #48 got dominated made excuses and lies first it was before the fight that's why he needed the shot then it was the 4th round which one is it? LOL

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

Pac is a sore f@cking loser and a coward who can't admit he was defeated and outclassed easily by Floyd.

I don't get why people avoid the "racial" element to all this. Obviously Roy Jones is backing his "brother" Mayweather. But beyond that I really think Jones was a) backing another black fighter and b) the bias was so blatant that Haymon paid Jones off to be biased. It is clear that Jones has had financial problems in the past and that is why he continues to fight. I think it is a good possibility that Haymon paid some of those debts off. But the funny thing is that all the Showtime guys (Paulie, Bernstein etc.) were backing their guy and Jones and even Lampley switched sides and were biased for Mayweather. HBO should really re-think if they should re-hire Jones in all honesty. Look at Paulie who is obviously getting a crap load of money under the table from Haymon to go after Pac at all costs and to make Floyd look like a God. The funny thing is when you look at the foreign feeds of the fight (as national broadcasts paid for rights to show the fight) the fight was scored quite differently. Three examples: the Peru broadcast had the fight 114-114, the Colombian had it 115 - 114 Mayweather and the Dominican feed had it 114-114. Also their compubox feeds were much closer. Obviously, these national contexts do not have any biases. I just feel Pacquiao got screwed. He did not get a fair shake. It was a close fight that is all that I am saying. The HBO and Showtime crew made Pacquiao out to seem as though he was some kind of scrub which obviously he wasn't. To be clear I think the fight could have been scored 6-6, 7-5, or 7-5. the 10-2 or even 8-4 cards were greatly biased. Were we expecting Pacquiao to get in the ring and mop the floor with Floyd? I think the sad thing is that before the bell rang the commentators did not perceive the combatants as equals. This was the travesty of the fight of the century in my opinion.

Roy Jones Jr, is right. Pac would have been much better off never saying anything about the shoulder.

BUT HIND SIGHT IS WHAT ? Its greater because it is REVEALED UNCHANGEABLE TRUTH !!!!!! So,,ah,,,,,DUH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but he's right anyway.

He was right about May Jr. He knew like most of knew that JR would RUN and run he did !!!!! He thru pitty pat shots that would tickle a grandmaw, then about JUMPED like a SPIDER was on him all across the nice ring to get away from that BADDDDDDDDDDDD spider about to git em.

He was right about Pac's shoulder that it certainly did affect Pac, HOW COULD IT NOT AFFECT ANYBODY !!!!! IF it was Joe LOUIS, if it was JOHN L SULLIVAN, if it was JACK DEMPSEY, if it were SONNY LISTON 7th round Clay fight, Robinson, Leonard, Duran , Hearns, Hagler, GGG, Mayweather, you get the drift ???? ANYBODY Is ANYBODY.

Pac should have just KEPT it QUITE, but thats hind sight.

HE can't turn it around and change it back. Now Pac has to take what is out there and what is coming and I think it will blow over.

This is not the first Rodeo boxing has gone thru.

You can go back to the Jack Johnson days to see Corruption in boxing and it has THRIVED !!!!

Boxing will get thru the Mayweather ERA of ballerina vs Chicken chasers, and fans of the like will be mute in a few years and fade away because OLD TIME boxing will always PREVAIL.

You know ,,,,hahahah,,, the Call to Arms , whose really the best, and to find out two great men will collide in the ring under rules and the crowd will roar, some will moan but a VICTOR will have his hand Raised and it won't be a chicken.

Floyd almost done,dont worry. After Sept he will no longer beat all ur favorite fighters

[wlliam]

roy jones was another bias commentator that night, praising floyd while pacquiao kept on landing punches as revealed by replay.. floyd only won 3 rounds, 1,5 and 11..

son, no matter how much times you replay the fight the outcome is NOT going to change
