    It's a tainted victory though. Just like Cotto Martinez. I'm not saying it's Floyd's fault Manny got injured. It's not, but at the same time it's not right to say Manny is a sore loser, that's ridiculous.

    Manny and co. were not discreet, but the absolute opposite. That isn't classy, it's being a sore loser. It's trying desperately to convince the world that he lost because of the shoulder. They've shamelessly hammed it up. There's no defending it.

    No rematch as they will never generate even 1/4 what the 1st fight did and PBF is happy to retire with a motza

    Manny is being a total and utter di ckhead about his loss. He's such a massive sore loser with no class in defeat, disappointed.

    There doesn't need to be a rematch, it wasn't even close.

    Haha whenever Floyd uses ambiguous language it's usually for a reason.

    "At this particular time..."

    There's going to be a rematch lol. His phrasing makes it obvious.

    People say that he is a sore loser because he is using the injury as an excuse for why he lost. First of all...if his injury or pre-injury was so bad that it made him fight at 60% or whatever deviation or that required pain killer shots then he should not have been fighting period in the first place. He should have rehabbed it more. And of course this should have been disclosed on the form (under penalty of perjury). A lot of people bet good money on him assuming he was in great shape. That he fought injured in such an important fight shows great arrogance and a lack of integrity...

    The thing is, he doesn't admit that Floyd (who I can't stand) beat him, and instead uses the excuse of an injury that should have precluded him from the fight to begin with. So he fights, doesn't even disclose it properly, he loses... and his shoulder was injured? Then why are you fighting and wasting everyone's time... (obviously he thought he could win but that is besides the point). He should have just thanked god, Floyd and congratulated him.
    Now instead, he just looks bad in more ways than one.

    I agree about the disclosure. Here's the thing, on the one hand yes you're right, on the other hand, it is equally as concerning that apparently someone from TMT was spying on Pac's camp and knew about the injury.

    So the non-disclosure was bad, at the same time the spying is bad too. Two wrong's don't make a right. Here's the other issue. Regardless of the fact that people lost money thinking Manny was 100% I agree with that, but still don't agree that Manny ever actually used it as an excuse. Manny did not mention the shoulder in the post-fight or in the press conference so it's inaccurate to say he used it as an excuse.

    Truly, it IS being used as an excuse because we know about the injury, but being real Manny himself never used it as an excuse. Manny himself never seemed to be a sore loser either. I agree his post-fight interview was weak-sauce, but it wasn't evident that he was a sore loser. I know what being a sore loser looks like and Manny's behavior wasn't it.

    He may not have mentioned it in those two instances but has since been talking up a storm about his injured shoulder and how it was hard to fight with one hand ("i don't want to make an alibi but it's hard to fight one-handed.") and how he couldn't throw punches like he wanted and on and on due to the injury originally caused by tangled arms during sparring. It was a serious injury according to the sparring partner. True though about the spying and the boasting of it.

    There you go making things up. Floyd said he knew nothing of the injuries. Maybe someone on a roof top. Maybe God, who knows.

    :rofl:rofl Manny is your Jesus. WTF. You're trying so hard.
