Disputed Injuries

I never really looked into Pacquiao’s injury against Mayweather, I’m sure other people can confirm it for me.

Hopkins against Dawson was interesting one, it looked like he thought F that let’s go again next time, but again I’ve never looked into it

 

re: the topic " disputed injuries " maybe some clarification is needed , well at least on my part ? is the premise then the claims of Bear/Cerdan are false , because if it is, my thought process would be, how do we know they were lying ( if that is the central point ) and more importantly how can we prove that to a satisfactory conclusion so long after the incidents ?

Ok, I get that maybe Bear was not being truthful , to shore up the fact he would-have maybe beaten Louis if he had 2 good hands ( unlikely ) do not get that Cerdan would lie about the severity of his injury ( early in the fight ) because on the reports I have read, the arm was then used sparingly for the remainder of the joust, so surely his mind set was not, I know, I will not use the arm to its best effect, then in the event of losing ( which he most certainly would have, and did ) I can put forward the reason I lost, was because of the fall and subsequent injury. Me thinks not.

 

There are so many... Tucker v Tyson comes to mind. In fight injuries include Liston/Clay and Vit/Byrd.... Every fight BHop in which was losing ground some sort of injury popped up.

 

Hopkins a few times.

Benn in his second to last fight.

 

No one's ever disputed that Norton broke Ali's jaw in their first fight, but Norton claimed that he did it in the twelfth round rather than the second, and that Ali's version of events existed simply to make it seem like he lost because he had to fight through an injury for almost the whole contest.

 

A year or so ago I rewatched Ali-Norton I and there was something said that I did not catch before. Cosell brought up in the 8th round that there was something wrong with Ali's mouth. Moreover, he speculated that it may have been from a broken tooth. I think its safe to say it was the jaw and it probably happened mid-fight.

 

Definitely BHop

 

Pacquiao claimed a rotator cuff injury despite using both arms throughout the fight and raising both arms after...said something about swimming in salt water causing it to heal.

Mike Tyson, spinal.

Haye with a pinky toe injury.

Tim Bradley had something with his foot in the first Pacquiao fight.

 

Holyfield's hole in his heart that Benny Hinn healed with the grace of LOL ... (Lucifer Our Lord)

 

Can't believe this entry is coming in so late in the thread.

 

I remember a fight where Nate Campbell had to stop because the inside of his eye was bleeding (vitreous hemorrhage). The injury was legit, but his eye looked totally normal to an outside viewer.

 

Ofcourse Liston's shoulder in Miami Beach.

 

Rigo's broken hand vs Loma.
