    Except is wasn't. Both signed to meet at 144. trying to justify Floyd's disregard for fair play in this instance is NOT a good look. You can be a fan of his and still say what he did was wrong.

    I'm 5'11" 173. If I fought 168 # Canelo I'd be heavier by a few pounds and taller. But looking at us, no one in their right mind would say I was bigger LOL.

    These guys just prefer to keep is simple, using the most simplistic of criteria.

    I'm a fan of boxing first and foremost. Yes, they did, and Floyd was fined. I don't think it affected anything, it's not like Floyd rehydrated to 160. Marquez weighed 148 on fight night apparently, I doubt Mayweather came in significantly heavier. It's actually a fight I wouldn't have minded to see a rematch of after Marquez face-planted Pac, I think it would have been a bit more competitive albeit with the same result.

    PimpC wont debate me on this. All he's doing is liking anyones post that attempts to insult Tony. Pimp knows in his heart Tony would have beaten the **** out of his idol had Floyd had the balls to fight him. Instead he showed what a gutless coward he really is

    Floyd wins either way, but that doesn't matter, what the 'what ifs' this could produce. No idea why so many just nonchalantly dismiss floyd's cheating. Well, seeing as most of his fans turn a blind eye to his IV usage prior to Pac, guess I'm not totally surprised.

    Agreed, a torn rotator cuff would have resulted in a retirement for Pac most likely, normally it means you can't even lift the arm. Vitali Klitschko was nails but couldn't fight through it against Byrd.

    It depends what the circumstances are.

    We know he had surgery on it the following week.

    Exactly my point. His shoulder wasnt badly hurt. Could it have been sore possibly but what fighter at their age isn't dealing with some aches and pains? It wasnt as bad as vitalis or even as bad as pbfs against jlc.

    Cheating is done with the intention of gaining an advantage, I don't think this incident qualifies. Loading gloves, proven PED usage etc. that's cheating.

    Floyd is an ATG and a H2H nightmare for anybody, especially at the lower weights but if you think I'm some kind of Floyd fanboy you're dead wrong. I like and can appreciate the likes of Pacquiao, Marquez, Cotto, Mosley, DLH, Forrest, Whittaker etc. at that kind of weight and not spazz out if somebody likes different fighters to me you know?

    I'll admit to not being an expert here but it seemed a bit David Hayeish

    FACTS:
    • Pac applied for a Toradol shot and was denied over a stupid technicality (unchecked box)
    • Pac suddenly stopped sparring and took days off during training camp
    • Sparring partners confirmed the injury
    • Ellerbe hinted at it when he said that he knew Pac was having a terrible camp
    • Dr. Neal ElAttrache, world famous sports surgeon who's operated on Kobe, Brady, and many more, CONFIRMED the shoulder injury and performed the operation
    • There are pics of Pac in a hospital and wearing a sling after
    So you're saying that Pac faked an injury, got a world famous surgeon to vouch for him, showed pictures, walked around w/ a sling for weeks/months, and then took a full year off from fighting and losing out on a paycheck to uphold a lie?

    Hell, your dumb ass said the only reason Floyd took 750 ml of illegal IV fluids just so he can produce a urine sample. But guess what? The agents found evidence of IV use after they got there. They didn't get there and observe him taking the fluids and waited for him to produce a sample.

    You are a special level of dumb.

    You couldnt be more wrong if both fighters were prime today and were fighting this weekend i would place a max bet on pbf.:deal: I couldnt be more confident in pbf beating that mummy as he's tailormade for him. You on the other hand wouldn't put a penny on margo and neither would any of these other haters and wishful thinkers in this thread.

    From Dr. Neal ElAttrachem the world's foremost sports surgeon:

    “Manny approached me with the question, ‘Is this the type of injury that will heal on its own or will it continue to cause me problems?’ I let him know that a re-injury was possible, and that if this occurred then it would take time away from his training and/or competitions. It is often best to repair a rotator cuff before the tear gets bigger and when patients are younger because then the patient heals better.”

    “He wanted to avoid a re-injury, so we proceeded with the surgery. He had healthy tissue and bone and suturing was very easy. We performed a type of arthroscopic repair that I developed…one which has shown to be the strongest type of rotator cuff repair we have today.”

    “So far his postop period is going well. He is in the Philippines and I will see him in a couple of weeks. If he wants to continue boxing then I see no reason why he can’t get back in the ring. Our goals for this early phase are for the repair to settle and to avoid damaging the suture tendon portion of the repair. We are allowing early motion, but not enough to stress the repair. Range of motion (ROM) is limited over the first 6 weeks; then we go for full ROM and begin strengthening at about 12 weeks. I will allow him to begin training in 6 months and he should be able to compete in 9-12 months.”

    This is what Ellerbe actually said:

    Despite the fact that Roach adopted a closed-door policy throughout the 8-week camp, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe also suggested last week that he knew even more details regarding Pacquiao's training. "Freddie Roach thinks he runs a tight camp, but I know everything that's happening there. I heard it's been a very rough camp. And now, I think it's dawning on Manny Pacquiao exactly what he's up against," Ellerbe informed Yahoo Sports when asked for his thoughts on Pacquiao's decision to pull out of the traditional grand arrival ceremonies this past Tuesday.


    No reference to any shoulder injury, just said it was dawning on him what he's up against. Mayweather is a couple of levels above Bradley, a level above Marquez... it's normal to be concerned on the eve of such a fight, isn't it?
