Mayweather vs Marquez

[Taeth]

Just training at an amateur level we have people getting hurt all the time, I don't see why it isn't plausible that Mayweather was legitimately hurt, and I also peg him as the type of guy who wouldn't come into the ring with a disadvantage in training, especially not in a relatively large fight like this where he could potentially get humiliated.

Also he bruised the cartillege in his ribs, that is something that can be verified, and can be very painful. Rib injuries aren't like hand injuries, you can't rotate your body, you can't breathe properly, core injuries affect your performance a lot more.

How many times have we seen Mayweather postpone? To my knowledge there are no times that he has postponed, but he is coming back from retirement which is often when you get injured, is getting back into the game, How is Marquez an easy return fight after 2 years? He's the second best fighter on the planet unless you include Mayweather. He's fast, accurate, tough, and he's been taking out guys with good chins. More than that he deals with speed well if his fights with Manny are any indication.

Haye deserves plenty of money. Hey at least he was the widely (although debatable) undisputed champ of a divison, whilst Wlad won't be in the fans minds until he beats the number #2.

Wlad is the undisputed champ, only his brother is the real question mark, but Wlad has been the number heavyweight for a few years now.

I think it's very plausible that he would get injured.. And no matter how much a warrior fighter someone is, we shouldn't expect them to carry an injury into a fight that could hinder their performance...

I think it's just the way their "camps" handle the injuries towards the public... It only just scrapes past rumour status by having one person confirm the rumour,,,, then immediately we have a HUGE fight with question marks all over it.. Because of a one line rumour that has now been confirmed... Then we have more rumours start about whether the injury is real, is it because of ticket sales etc etc... If the injury is handled correctly towards the media/public, there would be no speculation about anything else, and we wouldn't even have a tread like this..

About trusting; If it happens once, it can be a mistake or coincidence. If it happens twice 99 times out of 100 it was on purpose. If it happens a third time it was a deliberate act.

What makes the injury more suspect is the fact that many were saying ticket sale were down and it would be a bigger ticket gate and PPV if the fight were held on Sept 19 before the injury occured. Then it just so happened that an unconfirmable injury happens that takes two months for Mayweather to get back on track. Add my eariler post and the fact Mayweather is obviously lying low and one could things sum up.

Yes, his injury is plausible otherwise we'd be hearing a lawsuit coming out of JMM's camp. Proof is a lot harder to come by than supposition.

Actually, the normal reaction to a postposed fight is a complaint by the healthy or ready fighter. Here I am training to reach a peak during fight week only to be told that the fight will be postponed. I would have at least complained or at least expressed my dissapointment to the media. But all we got from the Marquez camp is silence. Why? Even if the injury was legitimate you should have have heard from the Marquez camp. All we got was silence. Why?
