He has to have shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff. That would be a bitch to try and fight with - especially since they denied him getting a cortisone shot before the fight.

I am of two minds with this:
1) Traditional boxing rules state that you either don't mention your injury at all in reference to a fight or you postpone the fight
2) His request for a cortisone shot certainly contradicts some of his earlier claims about needles (of course, his acquiescence on blood testing and his tattoos do that anyway), and I'm sure that it did impact him, but I don't think that any version of Pacquiao beats Floyd, who, for all his personal failings, is a boxing savant.
