Yeah. He got an early Christmas present that night. But he did have a hurt shoulder. I think the ease in which he beat Castillo in the rematch proves that much.
By the way, was there a rematch clause for that fight or did FM want to prove he was in fact the better man?
Also, not the it really matters, and not that I necessarily agree with it, but the AP also had Floyd over Castillo 115-111.
Funny though, how Floyd had a reason for his low performance due to his shoulder bothering him during the fight & i don't recall him even needing surgery to repair it, But when Pacquiao tore his shoulder almost a month before his fight & then afterwards actually got it surgery operated on with a full years break due to rehab it was instead looked at as lie, an excuse & ignored to the point where it is not even a talking point as to if it could have potentially played a part in the fight itself, Ironic.
Yes, this conversation again. Thanks god, we never had it. At last I can talk about floyd vs castillo and pacquiao's shoulder. I never could.
So Floyd gets to enjoy the benefit of the doubt while Pac's accused of lying despite a renown sports surgeon issuing a formal statement and taking a full year off to recover?
And imagine the judges actually got it right that night by awarding Castillo the win who was also injecting his hands & caught using an illegal IV prior, Then Castillo turning around & never giving Floyd a rematch by taking his ball & running home, wonder what the fans would say then, hmmmm .
I posted this video just to trigger haters and It worked. His combination of skills, IQ and natural abilities are incomparable. Stay mad.
