By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr. assumed that he would be given full credit by fans after beating Manny Pacquiao by a fairly lopsided 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night in their long-awaited big money fight in Las Vegas, but instead Mayweather’s had to listen to excuses from Pacquiao about him coming into the fight with a preexisting shoulder injury.
While some fans recognize Pacquiao’s excuse as being just that, an excuse to cover up the embarrassment of having been soundly beaten by Mayweather, other fans aren’t ready to give Mayweather credit for the victory because he beat an injured Pacquiao.
