Bradley: Pacquiao excuse still bull****

In an interview with FightHub on May 18th when asked about Manny Pacquiao?s shoulder injury, former two-division world champion Timothy Bradley called bull****.

He wasn?t referring to the injury by the use of the term, but for using the injury as an excuse for his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

?Making excuses after and sh** for your loss and not giving Floyd his credit for beating you is bull****,? Bradley said.

Pacquiao, a former world champion in a record eight weight classes, claimed that he injured his shoulder a few weeks before the fight and decided to fight through the injury.

He re-injured the shoulder in the fourth round and underwent shoulder surgery a week later to repair a ?significant tear? to the rotator cuff, according to Dr. Neal ElAttache, the doctor who performed the surgery.

Bradley fought Pacquiao twice, suffering leg injuries in both fights, and managed to win a controversial decision in their first clash in June 2012.
