bernard hopkins goes off on pacquiao injury - EsNews

[@streetbat123]

You never heard sergio Martinez making excuses....and we all saw he had no knee. Much respect for martinez!

[@anthonyedwards7737]

Try much much propz

[@radnotion8297]

bateks ones Martinez actually insulted Cotto at one point when he said Cotto was fighting an injured man if Cotto wins the fight between them. Cheap

[@box5bastard277]

True yell

[@royhatts1]

bateks ones Yeah he had braces on. Probably shouldn't have taken the fight, probably his pride. But at least he took the loss and that was it. And nobody took anything away from Cotto either, if I remember.

[@CaveKanem]

RadNotion He Didn't Say That...What He Actually Said Was Cotto Had The Opportunity To Fight Him In 2011 But Didn't Want Any Problems Then & That The Only Reason He Took The Fight Is Because He Thought Martinez's Knees Were Shot...Which Is True...It's Freddie Roach's Calling Card For Picking Fights With Dangerous & Popular Fighters...He Waits Till He Sees Decline & Injury Or Using Catchweights To Get The Upperhand...He's Been Saying Mayweather's Legs Were Shot Since The Cotto Fight & Claimed He Was A Completely Shot Fighter Since The 1st Maidana Fight...All Of A Sudden They Down For The Mayweather Fight..How About Cotto vs. Golovkin Right NOw? He's Threw Out Every Excuse In The Book But Finally Told The Truth When He Said He Wanted Cotto vs. Golovkin At 154-155 To Take As Much As Possible Out Of Golovkin aka Try To Drain Him...Freddie's Good With Matchmaking...Well He Used To Be...Provodnikov Gettin' Thrashed Up By Matthysse & Pissing Damn Near Black Blood, Glen Tapia Gettin' Knocked Out By Soro On TruTV & Pac Losing To Mayweather Hasn't Worked Out Too Well For Him...He Should Probably Keep Cotto Away From Golovkin As Well....If Mayweather Could Bust HIm Up & Have That Man Crying After The Fight, Golovkin Will Do Some Serious Damage...

[@jonmolina948]

Everyone's healthy up until they lose. I'm glad Sergio Martinez didn't go there when he went against Cotto, and we all know he had multiple surgeries before the fight and was 39 years old

[@roidjones]

jonmolina948 Exactly that's why I respect the hell out of Martinez, we all knew his knees were pretty banged up, yet when he lost he said nothing about it and gave credit to Cotto, yet you have idiots like Haye and Manny using injury excuses.

[@jonlouis5856]

roidjones What else was he gonna say tho? That If he was healthy He would have beat Cotto? He would have made an ass of himself.

[@roidjones]

Jon Louis That's my point, excuses makes the person using it look like a fool, it's best to just say 'I lost and move on'

[@radnotion8297]

jonmolina948 Martinez was actually bashing Cotto saying he was fighting an injured man if Cotto won the fight. Sounds cheap to me

[@shambles2723]

[@javoneasterling2454]

Floyd is the best of our era period. All of yalls favorite boxers from the 80's & 90's fell off when they hit 38 and Floyd just had the biggest yet one of the easiest fights in his life and made it look like it was nothing. I just don't see how people can deny his talent because he don't fight the way y'all want him to.

Floyd won but to say he beat him easily is silly. Neither one of them showed much offense, floyd just showed a little more than Manny. It was a close fight. Evander Holyfield and shane mosley both gave the win to manny but I guess they don't know as much about boxing as you???

I really have a new respect for Hopkins. His comments were very well put across. Very well said. Apart from which, I believe that Manny was simply beaten by a better boxer, no excuses.

[@psmiththeking]

Anyone that has had any kind of shoulder injury knows that it is hard to throw punches or even raise your arms if the rotator cuff is injured. The way they described his injury, it was a significant tear. Let's look at the FACTS. He threw his right hand regularly throughout the fight. When he thought he won, he raised both arms without a grimace showing pain. He was not favoring his shoulder during the interview with Max Kellerman. Hell he didn't even mention any pain during the interview. I am not buying the torn rotator cuff injury. He was a sore loser because he didn't fight the way he wanted to. He wanted a war and it wasn't going to happen unless he took it to Floyd. Not to mention Floyd controlled the whole fight with his jab and counter right.

[@Raiderfred]

Where was the injury at he punching the heavy bag sparring with fighters doing this and that like bhop says it's bullshit he ain't getting no money out of this so you know he ain't lying

[@Spec0pleader]

I agree, although the fight was a lot closer the second time watching and reviewing, he still lost and should have admitted to it with no excuses, even though the injury was legit

Pacquiao fans are more stupid than Manny Pacquiao himself and that's saying a lot, Manny Pacquiao is one of the stupidest boxers I've ever seen. He is stupid outside of the ring- God help the Philippines if he runs for president- and he is also fighting like an idiot in the ring, lucky for him he got roids and his punch.

[@MultiAsante]

B-hop confirmed his injury, healed up, and they had their rematch. Even though B-hop lost, he took the "L" with no excuse and kept it moving. Pactards your Manny Pacquiao is a fraud.

[@truthmanifestingtruth]

He should have bowed out gracefully and made another case for a rematch. Like I said before, bad business on that end. The shoulder story is bad for the sport no matter how you slice it or which side you take. TMT TBE...20yrs of dominance through hard work and smart work both inside and outside of the ring. Be inspired to win in what you were made to do with smart work, hard work, and dedication!

[@omarthearab81]

B-HOP is so right. the sadist thing is it was the fans who paid the tickets who got ripped off and the betting public who were putting money on Pacquaio within the hour of his fight without notice of the injury, The NASC should be investigated for not disclosing this injury nationally as well, Pacquaio comes out after the fight at post fight claiming this injury and rides in the sunset with $91 million dollars while the public are conned, I will add Mayweather deserves credit and even a fit Pacquaio would of not beat him, poor loser in my opinion !

[@SupremeDJ]

This shouldn't even be an arguement at this point. What Manny did was Perjury, end of discussion.

[@flame-sky7148]

Did he have his arms/hands raised taking a selfy when he entered the ring? Yes Did he raise his arms/hands after the 12th round thinking he won? Yes Did his trainers or cornermen ice down or massage his rotator cuff during the fight? No Is Manny Lying? Yes

Hopkins talked 5 to 6 minutes now everybody supposed to agree about what he said. He didn't check the box but think about why. This is mega fight people waited for 5 or 6 years and if Pacquiao back out from this because of his injury I guarantee people will talk trash. Call him coward, punk, or w . e. Pacquiao is smart. What was he suppose to do notify his opponent like " hey man my shoulder is hurt I'm injured so dont go to rough on me tonight" .. That makes no sense

Manny did not complain about the loss or give alibi. Did you guys see him complain or tell people about the injury. It is the media, the other people spread the news not him.

[@shambles2723]

He actually made excuses about his shoulder injury during post fight interview

[@jasonmorales6474]

Three weeks prior to the fight, his sparring partners were sent home. But before they were sent home, he was reported to have been sparring with only his left hand. Sounds like he truly did sustain the injury and exacerbated during the fight. He was expecting an injection to help with the pain but was denied. The evidence is overwhelming in his favor. I'm not saying it would have made a difference but we will never really know.

[@roidjones]

Jason Morales So now it's during the fight, did Arum not say it was hurt prior to the fight and blamed the commission for not giving Manny adequate treatment.....gotta get those stories right bro.

[@jasonmorales6474]

roidjones You don't know what exacerbated means? It eludes to that he was already hurt but got worse during the fight which is to be expected if you come in injured.

[@roidjones]

Jason Morales You're making it sound like he had an injury, figured he could live with it then the injury got worse mid fight, NOPE, that is not what happened, he had an injury neglected to tell the commission via a legally binding document about it, then tried to get medication for said injury prior to the fight.

[@chrisstfort7]

Facts!

[@cochisemorris8537]

at the end of the day how are people more angry with Floyd than they are with Manny? If you believe Manny suffered this injury prior to May 2nd than he was the one who misled the public and was 100% dishonest, and for that he is being pointed to as some type of hero or warrior, that is utterly ridiculous. There are no excuses in life, when you step into the ring on terms which you accepted everything is fair game, no one is going to feel sorry for you, give you a pass or care about your damn excuses. This culture we've established in sports today is pathetic, primarily because it always places one athlete or team in a no win situation with regards to playing against an opponent who has an alleged injury. If you beat them, well then you were suppose to because they were injured and their seen as these tragic heroic figures for "toughening out", but if you lose then your trash and they become immortal. If i were Floyd I wouldn't give him a rematch either, because at the end of the day even if he wins he still loses.

[@vangxbg]

I'm a true pacquiao fan, and I gotta say I agree with everything bernard hopkins says. Pacquiao definately made the wrong choices through this whole fight saga, starting in the prefight. You played yourself the good guy, of a fight that's between good vs evil and that god would deliver mayweather in your hands, but in the end you didn't come through because you weren't focused on the fight like Mayweather was. When you're in the ring it's 1 vs 1. Having a whole country, god and playing as the good guy doesn't help secure a victory. And after the fight Pacquiao's team should of just kept quiet and accepted the lost. Also agree with Robert Garcia that team Pacquiao didn't come with a game plan. I'm very sad :). Pacquiao will still go down as one of the greats, but this fight has put a dent on his career. Unlike mayweather nut huggers at least i have the decency to admit that that we lost.

So with over 100 million dollars on the line, and the possibility that if he informed people of the injury, that the fight maybe cancelled and possibly never happen, Mr. Hopkins would have disclosed the injury? I highly doubt it! Pacquiao didn't use it as an excuse, if he spoke up the fight would have been cancelled. He did say that the better man won.

All you did was FIGHTING SCARED. I have never seen a fighter running around like a chicken like you did. You STOOD TOE TO TOE against the bigger Maidana and stayed on the ropes for 6 rounds and allowed Maidana to punch you for 6 fucking rounds! You STOOD TOE TO TOE against the bigger Canelo. You STOOD TOE TO TOE against the bigger Cotto and stayed by the ropes for 5 rounds and allowed Cotto to land his left for fucking 5 rounds! You STOOD TOE TO TOE against all the 47 fighters you faced! You made all of them SILLY and GOOD at times! Pacquiao made you look ordinary the entire fight! NOT AGAIN! YOU BITCHING TOO MUCH RUNNING AFTER THE 4TH ROUND COMBO FROM PACMAN. YOU jumped like a SCARED KANGAROO! Everybody was saying you will knock him out.

I thought manny looked pretty good considering he had only one good arm. Explains why he looked off balance and threw less than half of his usual punches...
