    So the operation afterwards was a hoax? As I said, it's hard to know how much the injury effected him. Definitely not nearly as much as Vitaly's, but there definitely was an injury (you should stop making yourself silly denying it) and we will never know for sure if it had some effect or if it didn't.

    I'm not denying it. That's on your reading comprehension skills. Pacquaio had an elective procedure that he could've had at any point in years prior to the Mayweather fight. I have the same injury in the same shoulder and haven't had surgery. It's an annoyance, but I can understand how he fought with it. One round into that fight, it was already mapped out for 12.

    Max Kellerman shares the exact same sentiments on Pacquiao's greatness:

    Mayweather fought with it and lost in the opinion of most, to Jose Luis Castillo. Mayweather made more use of his 'torn rotator cuff' that night than Pacquiao did.

    You can tell he made more use out of it because he won the fight, on the scorecards and in the opinions of most.

    He is widely regarded to have lost the fight, it's not even me trying to distort facts by spurting polemics. Just look around everywhere.

    Besides, the official scorecards had the Canelo-Floyd fight far more closer than it should have been (Floyd won 11-1, probably 12-0 in an absolute masterclass).

    You're wrong. Most ringside journalists had it for Floyd. It was like a 60:40 split. Takes your bs to general.

    Pacqiauos 'injury' vs Mayweather was a load of rubbish. A made up story concocted to save face after all those years of accusing Mayweather of being scared.

    There is a Bob Arum interview available on youtube where he clearly states that 'Manny Pacqiauo was 100% going into the fight' (his exact words).

    I find it strange how throughout the fight, Pacqiauo was doing what he does normally but there's no signs of any injury, he even raised both arms at the end of the fight?

    Nowhere between rounds did either Pacqiauo, Roach or any of his team make any mention of any injury.

    Not even the commentators noticed this nor the millions of people watching live and at home?

    And then miraculously he was cured by salt water?

    Absolute rubbish. He got his ass kicked by a better fighter, a fighter who would beat him anywhere, anytime, any place in his career.

    His injury excuses are no different to Tysons reasons for biting Holyfield.

    Look at all these excuse makers.

    Poor old Pacqiauo was too small.

    Bless.

    Maybe Max Kellerman just so happens to work for the same company that Pacqiauo is also signed too?

    There's absolutely zero proof of this injury except Pacqiauo and his teams word.

    I find it hard to take the word of a group of people who spent 5 years insulting said fighter.

    Mayweather is better.

    Pac is greater.
