Pacquiao says he'll be fully recovered in two months.

[SplitSecond]

So, he could move his arm before the surgery even with the tear. Can he throw a punch? Even in 2 more months time I'll doubt he can throw a punch(maybe just the motion but no snap) and a big chance of tearing his sht again. He'll need a long rehabilitation stage to balance the muscles out, strengthening the repaired tendons properly and with patience. Which will take awhile.

How surprising, lol...

Does Pac knows that most of his "loyal fans" already turned into Golovkin fanboys?

Mayweather didn't have surgery and we don't know how bad it was. Pacquiao's was supposed to be severe so you'd expect it would be on the longer side of recovery time.

So he lied about the injury I suppose?

Watch the fight and you can see he's clearly in pain and complains about it during the fight. Pacquiao was supposed to have a severe tear but never showed signs of pain, didn't mentioned it during the fight or in the post fight interview.

Was it said that it was severe? I know Holyfield had a severe tear and he was out for about 8 months.

Vitali Klitschko went back to training after 4 months following surgery after Byrd. Mayweather another quick recovery after surgery.

P.S, In boxing training, which is a whole other ball game, highly injury prone with the repetitive exercises and the explosivness expected. So they must've healed up in about 2 months, and from there were doing strengthening exercises before getting back into boxing.

Such a warrior, he also managed to complete the fight when Maidana used his Sabertooth teeth to chew through Floyds gloves, he barley made a fuss of it either.

I never believed a single word from the injury excuse. If it would have been real then Pac wouldn't waited out the post presser with it but would have said in the ring on the post fight interview. That fact alone tells me everything about this case. Pac struggled big time on the post fight interview to find an excuse immediately and the maximum he could cough up was a desperate "He ran, I think I won" comment. After even the HBO hypeman Kellerman seemingly didn't agree with that and argue with it, it became painfully obvious to them that this excuse won't work in long term so after Pac talked with his promoter and manager, they found out together this shoulder injury excuse.

It's misleading in the sense that it gives people the impression that he'll be fighting in two months time.

Athletes often think they feel fine or defy doctor's orders. We don't know what the chuckle meant, my guess is that he was joking/exaggerating or being over-confident in how quickly he can recover. When he's actually back in a boxing ring, then you might be able to make some kind of assessment of the true severity of the injury.

I don't even know or care if the injury is fake or not. Just playing devil's advocate. People jumping all over this as if it proves anything is pretty sad. Why do Mayweather fans care about his condition if the injury is "fake" anyway? Revel in the apparent great win.

ShoulderGate is only helping prolong this boring drawn out rivalry.

Kobe Bryant tore the rotator cuff in his right shoulder January 21, 2015 and may be ready to play again by early November 2015. And all Bryant is doing with his shoulder is dribbling a ball, shooting jump shots, and keeping his arms up on defense. Even on that timeline, Pacquiao would logically not be able to get back in the gym, let alone fight, till February/March.

In an effort to cover up the terrible performance that Pacquiao put forward, they've seemingly overshot how damaged Pacquiao was, before and following the fight (asking for a Torodal injection prior to a fight where in-fight damage only resulted in him missing, in his own mind, six months in the gym would seem to be a bit much).

The rivalry is over; Pacquiao got washed in a fight where he was only so damaged that the recovery process falls pretty well into the lul that he would've taken between fights regardless. There's literally no reason for the rematch now.

what are you going on about?

Manny could've had this shot taken in his hotel room like koncz stated. And hidden from everyone. Plus he injured it after the dlh fight, or was it during training for the Floyd fight. Or maybe I'm mistaken, because they say he was at full strength and injured it in the third or fourth round. idk which story to run with.

I'd still be stunned if he returns before 2016. We will see I guess.

Talk is cheap. I'm sure he's antsy to return. But I feel like it's unlikely he can actually step into a ring before 2016.
