    He looked like he was game to me, especially in round 4, it can't have been debilitating enough to use as an excuse for his bizarre tactics, hopeless accuracy and confusion at anything but flurrying and trying to lunge in. If he was always going to try fighting Mayweather like that and being surprised at Mayweather fighting how he always will, he loses any day of the week. The sore shoulder clearly wasn't anywhere near Maravilla no knees Martinez level of impediment. He gave Mayweather pretty much ZERO credit and every single damn sentence 'my right shoulder my right shoulder, he ran'. Martinez gave Cotto massive credit, a true champion in a loss he shouldn't have, his fault for taking the fight knowing he wouldn't beat Cotto in that state. Manny would have postponed the fight if this was a problem, you think Arum wouldn't want to smash Floyd and reap the rematch rewards?

    He looked sharp, fast, dangerous in training, in the ring, no ice or anything was on it, can't recall him saying anything to Roach either. I've no doubt it was sore as hell but he was completely game and able. Floyd isn't a robot devoid of vulnerable limbs either, did you see the state of his hands in the last press conference before fighting? He has terrible trouble with his hands and that is a massive hurdle also.

    It is totally on them for not making sure he'd have what he needed to soldier on, if Mayweather didn't file the paperwork for his hand numbing stuff and whined about his hands were sore but he couldn't get it, that's his problem too. He had to fight one handed in a few fights I recall as even with the stuff it presents itself if he hits their skull wrong.

    What's funny is he supposedly hurt his shoulder in round 3 or 4, yet clearly won rounds 4, 6, and 7.

    You criticize Floyd for Xylocaine which he can't use two weeks before a fight but it's OK for Pac to get pain killers 90 minutes before a fight? If Floyd has to fight with brittle hands, Pac can fight with brittle shoulders.

    If Manny won Saturday, and Mayweather came out of nowhere and said he hurt his shoulder, what would you be posting about today?

    Exactly... Just shut up. Bunch of clowns.

    Why didnt Team Pac follow the usual NSAC procedure and declare the injury in time?

    Theres no excuses in boxing.

    Boxing is also a business. People paid how much for ring side seats? The PPV was 100 $ and was hyped as the "Fight of the Century."

    People are ****ed off paying 100$ to watch one of the most boring fights of the Century. Floyd's running, holding, taking zero chances and thowing feather point scoring punches, it was really awful.

    His shoulder looked fine. Never saw him grimaced in pain or favor it. Didnt have any problem raising his arms overhead after in fight pretending like he won. He just got schooled and was trying to save face. He was the great white (filipino) hope and he let the down all the idiots who actually thought he was in Floyd's league

    Yes, that sums it up about as concisely as possible.

    IF THIS IS LEGIT then I can only guess they were trying to avoid Floyd finding out.

    That's even worse, I didn't know he couldn't use it a week before a fight, I was under the impression it's legal before a fight. So Mayweather really does fight with those hand problems yet rarely whines, occasionally you'll hear him say 'I hurt my hand so I couldn't press the attack', this actually shows there's credence behind it if he can't use the cream for a week.

    Exactly, they'd be claiming he's making excuses.

    Maybe he should blame God while he's at it for not "delivering Floyd to his hands."

    Losing more and more respect for this guy.
