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

[jcpryor]

I addressed Pacquaio's situation. The proof will come when he's back in the ring. Not when he's giving his own prognosis....followed by a chuckle. He said he'll be "recovered" in 2 months, not even that he'll be fighting in 2 months.

The thread is littered with mostly Mayweather fans saying that this somehow proves his injury to be fake so I just brought up a similar example. Mayweather claimed the same injury and fought again in the same period of time. Does that mean he was "faking" or exaggerating the extent of his injury?

I still don't see the comparison. First of all Mayweather won the first fight. Second of all him claiming to have a torn rotator cuff was self diagnosed.

Pacquiao and his camp specifically said that he got an MRI that revealed a severe tear, which was the same injury that Kobe Bryant had. They have also had about 3 or 4 different stories about when the injury happened since the fight ended.

What am I missing here?

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.

Not to mention Floyd actually complained about his shoulder where Pac didn't until hours later. This whole thing just makes no sense.

Pac is not fully recovered. He just said he took the sling off his arm... Pac in his optimistic outlook says one thing... but the fact remains, it'll take MONTHS to now rehabilitate the arm..as in physical therapy to regain full motion and strength in the arm itself.

lol Floydiots in this thread acting like Pacquiao has a valid medical opinion and is capable of rendering an unbiased view of when he will be fit to fight. Of course he'd like to believe he can come back soon, because he's eager to come back. Anyone who can get KTFO like he did and still want to fight again is someone who will want to come back almost no matter what.

The reality is that most likely he is under appreciating the continued severity of his shoulder injury, and that we are still many months away from seeing Pacquiao fight. Especially because even when Pacquiao becomes capable of training again, it's going to take a while to rebuild strength after all that time off.

Self diagnosed? Lol

See what the power of being a good Christian can bring? Miraculously speedy healing.

[jcpryor]

Self diagnosed? Lol

Don't try to act like you have idea what that means

[IR0NFIST]

no worries.....ole bob will sit his dumba$$ down and set him straight so they can get their story correct......and the reason i called him a lying sack of ***** is because i don't believe there was any severe shoulder injury.....their camp can't even present a consistent story. nobody believes that bs but his f@99ot fanbase which most of them have already abandoned him to ride the ggg hypejob train.

This guy has enough salt and hatred flowing through his veins to spawn hundreds of Fraud Mayweather Jr. fans.

If Pacquiao fights in Macau during the Fall/Winter, what will your excuse for him be then? That he's under appreciating the continued severity of his shoulder injury? Will you continue to stick to using that excuse?

[SplitSecond]

Just re-read the OP. He might be back in training after 3 more months. Being hyperactive as he is he'll likely be dedicated to the rehab. Good news.

These pacfans are clowns......
