    Yeah I mean I doubt TMT would even consider postponing the fight because in recent years Floyd specifically only fights early May and in Sept. Arum knew how hard it was to get this fight and once the fight was made it was clear pulling out was not an option.

    I had knee trouble a while ago. I could walk and jog fine but when it came to running hard or pushing myself, I couldn't. And then it'd be painful for days after. I imagine its something similar here, there are different levels of severity, and like many injuries it mightn't really have an effect until it is pushed.

    It's not something you can really see. He might have been trying real hard to hide it. He was still physically in great shape and I don't think he was in agonizing pain. If it was a tear, then it's going to play on him mentally and psychologically he's going to worry about it going into a fight and during a fight. It's going to affect his confidence level, his punch repertoire, what he's trying to set up, etc.

    Pac-man also is a volume crowd pleasing fighter. It's one thing if his style was just to outbox. In that case it might not have been a big deal, but when he is known as a KO puncher an aggressive fighter it's going to affect him that much more than an outboxer who just outboxes and jabs his way to victory. Make sense?

    At no point before, or during the fight did Pacman look in discomfort or pain, or have limited range of motion though. He did a hell of a job concealing it perhaps, but why make an issue of it If he went into the fight with an injury, then that's his fault. No point crying about it now.

    If only that were true. That's what we all hoped and prayed would happen with this fight. That this fight would be the be-all-end-all of Pac - Floyd debates. That this fight would leave no doubt as to who is better.

    And it is clear and you gotta admit that is NOT what happened lmao.

    Yeah that's not gunna help Pac's shoulder lol. Seems like Floyd knew exactly where the injury was don't ya think...

    But how? Pac filled out the form saying no injury. Does Floyd have ESP??? Can he read minds??

    I agree that he made his bed and should no lie on it to an extent, but it doesn't mean the injury didn't effect him (and interupted his camp in the build up). I'm just saying that an injury could render you 70% fit, its not a case of either his arm was hanging off or he is perfectly healthy.

    its a lot of money to give up on, im sure both camps are aware that injuries are possible. I doubt anyone wanted to give up on that.
    we lost out on our money we were scammed if pacqauios is telling the truth and hes a crier if hes lying

    The point of showing that image is really, if he truly had a torn rotator cuff, having someone land a flush right hand on it would do a little more to you than that, don't you think? Where was the complete wince? The crippling pain? He took the shot as if his shoulder was absolutely fine, and continued to throw punches with that arm afterward too.

    And to be honest, if you look at that punch, it lands on the chin first, then to the shoulder. So, nice conspiracy theory.
