    pac should retire head up high.

    Fluid had to cheat juicing himself up and numbing himself with The Caine Xylo, just to fight a weakend, in pain (denied pain killer), one armed pac... and pac still won despite Fluid getting the "Shiny wrapped Gift" decision

    Just to be clear after reading some post in here.

    Pac was a sore loser after losing to Floyd. It was pathetic seeing him, Roach and Arum huddled up at the start of the press conference and then, "bam Manny fought a good fight under the circumstances, he was hurt."

    Damn shame.

    Biggest fight of his life. A champion who rarely loses. Extremely competitive spirit.

    Ehh, I can understand him being a sore loser. I would've been. It was maybe the most disappointing moment of his career.

    Thing is though, I truly think he believes that he won the fight and he doesn't intentionally mean to be a sore loser. The injury was real too, so we can't blame him for that either.

    Dude he's had an excuse for every loss that he has had or for fights he's struggled in. Socks, Gloves, Didn't eat or get warm milk, Jinkee slapped him and wanted Koncz fired, gave blood couple days before fight etc.

    He has been a sore loser before.

    You're just making stuff up now.

    Since so many fighters are sore losers- idk, maybe since they dedicated months training for a fight and are probably more competitive than the average joe- it doesn't really bother me.

    If you're always winning then I can understand being salty at a loss. If you're always losing and still being a sore loser then I'd be irritated, but that's not Manny.

    Sore loser or not, it doesn't take away from a champions achievements, imo. I care mostly about what goes on inside the ring.

    Every thing I said came out of his mouth. Didn't make one thing up.

    Man I hope he retires just to make this welterweight ****s fight each other. And if he does ever stay in politics I want him to run local in his province and focus there. Philippines is a ****ed up country and I don't want him anywhere near a national election. For his sake and for his country's sake.

    True. If he passes on Khan for his next fight it would be hilarious.

    Most were not excuses for losing a fight though. May have been incidences in the camp that actually happened but not excuses.

    It'd be like Pacquiao saying he missed sparring days in training for Mayweather. He's not saying that's why he lost.

    No way. Floyd beat the system. Beat the game. In a way him not coming back is another victory within itself. Most of the Atg come back bc of money or something. Plus I don't think he would give Manny a rematch. Floyd won the fight and even after the victory the media and others tried to take it away with this shoulder excuse. Imagine that.
