Pacquiao to decide Ariza’s fate

By Jason Kim: The drama continues in the Manny Pacquiao camp, as strength trainer Alex Ariza could be on the chopping block, according to the latest boxing news. The Manila Bulletin is reporting that Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is talking about being able to get Pacquiao in shape himself, which leaves you to wonder what will happen to Ariza should Pacquiao opt to use only Roach instead of Ariza. As it is, Ariza was already let go recently by WBA Super World light welterweight champion Amir Khan for an unknown reason.

Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz is saying that the decision about what happens with Ariza rests with Pacquiao. Roach said this: “I know how to get him [Pacquiao] in shape and Manny knows how to get in shape.” Could it be that Pacquiao is looking to cut costs by letting Ariza go and just letting Road do the conditioning? There’s some confusion about whether Ariza did a good job in getting Pacquiao ready for his last opponent Antonio Margarito.

Pacquiao was putting on size under Ariza’s training and Pacquiao didn’t like the fact that he was slowed down. He then chose to take weight off and come in lighter. This might not have been a good thing for Ariza that Pacquiao wasn’t pleased with the weight that he was putting on and spoke up about it by changing his conditioning himself.

Pacquiao is getting ready for a May 7th fight against Shane Mosley a the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is an important fight and it would be surprising that Pacquiao would make a major change in his training by letting Ariza go at this juncture. My guess is Pacquiao won’t want to rock the boat and will keep Ariza. Hopefully, this will be the end of talk about letting Ariza go.

    Let me get this straight. Kahn and JCC jr. both fire Ariza because they know he’s guilty for contributing illegal substances but the little power pellet taker is still having problems letting his king pin go!

    Still pathetic in there camp!

  • Boston Red Head says:

    Don’t question the fight with Mayweather. FMJ is just that good! Mosely didn’t run out of gas, FMJ confused the hell out of him. Mayweather will make Pacquiao forget his mommas name just the same as he did Mosely.

    On the flip side, JMM took Pacquiao to hell and back. JMM provided the ride to hell for Pacquiao, Shane Mosely will set up the face to face meeting with the DEVIL HIMSELF!!!

    Manny Pacquiao will never, ever be the same after facing Shane Mosely. Shane will rough Pacquiao up so badly that he will seriously consider retirement.

    As fans…I WARN EACH OF YOU PACTARDS, “MANNY PACQUIAO WILL GET HURT WHEN HE FACES MOSELY”.

    BE WARNED!!!

    @Donkey, the world is on to the antics of Roach and Pacquiao. Noone cares but you Noys.

    THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN FOR BOXING IS FOR MOSELY TO KO PACQUIAO. THIS WILL SPARK AN IMMEDIATE REMATCH THAT WILL BE BIGGER THAN THE FIRST.

    BOXING DESERVES A WIN FOR MOSELY BY KO!!!
    ===============================================

    REALLY??? Then why are you posting if you didn’t care? I’m not a NOY, I am as white as you except the back of my neck is not RED. BIATCH! I like Mosley, but I question his fight against Mayweather. LIke I said before, nobody runs out of gas in the second round, nobody….

  • Freddie the roach says:

    @Boston Red Head

    What is good for Boxing? Keep Mayweather’s trap shut … all he has is that “0″ … once that is gone, what else does he have?

    Like all his fans … insults, curses, lies, wife-beater, chump … this are the qualities Floyd has and you all approve of this? SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR WORLD?

    May 8 … let’s all come back here and see …

    Everyone talk bad about wapakman and make me cry. He fly around sky and fight crime. I look my window out and see Wapakman fly through sky protect me. I no scared. Wapakman wear cape in sky and ring. He my hero.

    Leave Wapakman lone! He no use Steroid. Ariza make shake for Wapakman. Wapakman not know what in shake. So there. that proof Wapakman not use steroid. Just cause his head grow, not because of steroid. He just have big head.

    Now, that my proof Wapakman no use steroid and fly around sky fight crime.

    I die for Wapakman. I go church now pray to Wapakman.

Anyway, just to make sure….all that hearsay were just for part of the game to destroy Pacman and it’s a true lies. I don’t believed it bcoz i already know your game my friends. By the way,where’s Floyd Jr…the Scared and Coward boxer in history? Is he in court right now?lol

    @Ben, this is what you call cheating:

    1) Catchweights
    2) Dehydrating opponents
    3) Steroids
    4) Fighting a “Non Champion” for a title
    5) Using 8oz gloves in a fight over the 147lb limit.

    But I understand your concern. Shane Mosely is going to rough Pacquiao up like he is in a street fight. Win, or lose, Pacquiao is going to get “BADLY BEAT UP” in this fight.

    GUARANTEED!

    AND IT IS BY THE RULES, LEGAL AND BY THE BOOK!
    =========================================

    ITEMS YOU FORGOT TO COUNT ON YOUR CHEATERS LIST:

    6. Coming in over the catchweight limit
    7. numbing your hands.
    8. making fighters in the lower weight division come up in weight to fight
    9. a super big ring so you can run around freely.
    10. cornerman choking your opponent

    Did we forget anything else??

  • Boston Red Head says:

    Mosely has never been KO’d and it will NEVER happen. But Pacquiao stands a HUGE chance of getting KO’d.

    Arum knows it, Roach knows it, and you know it very well which explains your FEAR!

    Don’t do the “Pilipino Poof”. Be here on May 8th!

  • Floyd may gone weatherland says:

    it doesn’t matter

    floyd will not go out and fight manny

  • Boston Red Head says:

    When the 2 fighters climb into that squared circle…ITS CALLED A FIGHT!!!!

    GET IT? IT’S A FIGHT! AS LONG AS NO RULES ARE BROKEN, ALL IS FAIR IN WAR!!!

  • Boston Red Head says:

    @Ben, you Noy Noys are simply amazing. Pacquiao is given every advantage imageinable yet you call others dirty. Shane Mosely isn’t my idol, he is simply a better fighter than Pacquiao.

    And to mention steroids with Mosely when your false god that you worship refused a $50 Million + payday because he refused a drug test within the 14 day cutoff?

    Once again you Noy Noys are amazing…

    Pacquaio deserves a loss by a THUNDEROUS punch that sends him to the hospital for a week!

    MOSELY IS GOING TO DO IT. BE HERE ON MAY 8TH. DO NOT DO THE “PILIPINO POOF”.

  • bri says:

    @Ben Gurion ***** notice all the boxers who floyd didnt face are all top rank boxers***** arum will never let floyd take on any of his boxers. and after antonio was beat floyd was quick to face the person who beat him. if cotto was beat by a non top rank boxers instead of antonio floyd would have faced him as well. clottey cant hold floyds jock strap so put that one aside.

  • floyds my hero says:

    @ PAC YOU
    the article is about ariza possibly being let go from pac’s camp if you would read some of the posts you could learn something, it was alex ariza who stated that his special shakes help get manny into that elite conditioning state, it was manny who said he doesnt know whats in those shakes but he doesnt take steroids,

    so i ask you as a boxing fan why doesnt ariza market his special drink for the entire world i THINK HE WOULD MAKE MORE MONEY than what pac pay’s him what do you think, and why would he not put it on the market.
    i will wait for your answer

    REVISED COMMENTARY

    THE FINAL HOUR OF MANNY PACQUIAO AT THE HANDS OF FLOYD MAYWEATHER.

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER DID NOT FIGHT MIGUEL COTTO, JOSHUA CLOTTEY, ANTONIO MARGARITO ESPECIALLY MANNY PACQUIAO BECAUSE HE IS TOO SCARED TO DIE ON THE RING. AND, BESIDES, MAYWEATHER CANNOT DEFEAT THEM EVEN BY DECISION. HIS BELOVED FATHER KNOWS SERIOUSLY THAT IT IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY OF WINNING OR DEFEATING ANY ONE OF THEM.

    ON THE ISSUE OF RANDOM DRUG TEST:

    MANNY PACQUIAO HAS AGREED TO 30 DAYS AS CUT OFF DATE BEFORE THE FIGHT. LATER FLOYD MAYWEATHER REDUCED THE NO. OF DAYS TO 24 DAYS. WHEN PACMAN AGREED, FLOYD AGAIN REDUCES FURTHER TO 14. BECAUSE PACMAN IS EAGER TO FIGHT HIM IN THE RING, HE AGREED AGAIN. WHEN FLOYD LEARNED THAT MANNY AGREES, FLOYD AGAIN MOVES THE NO. OF DAYS TO ONLY 7 DAYS. MANNY AGAIN AGREES BECAUSE HE WANTS TO KNOCK HIM OUT AND SLEEP FOR A WHILE ON TOP OF THE RING. UNTIL THE LAST BREATH OF FLOYD, HE KEEPS ON CHANGING THE STOP GAP OF BLOOD TEST BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT WILL BE THE END OF HIS CAREER UNTIL HE CANNOT ESCAPE ANYMORE. DO YOU KNOW THE LAST DEMAND OF FLOYD MAYWEATHER KNOWING THAT MANNY WON’T AGREE ANYMORE? HE DEMANDS THAT THE BLOOD TEST SHOULD BE DONE ON THE DAY OF THE FIGHT. FINALLY PACMAN IS DEFEATED WITHOUT FIGHTING MAYWEATHER ON THE RING. THE SAD PART OF IT, MANNY IS SUSPECTED OF USING DRUG ENHANCING SUBSTANCE BECAUSE HE REFUSES TO SUBMIT HIMSELF. AND THUS BECOMES THE BIGGEST ISSUE OF THE YEAR ALTHOUGH, HONESTLY, MANNY PACMAN IS CLEAN OF ANY DRUG BOOSTER.

  • Ben Gurion says:

    TAKE A PAUSE AND FORGET ARGUMENT ABOUT FLOYD AND PACQUIAO. PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES AND WATCH ATTENTIVELY.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT SHANE MOSLEY DOES NOT FIGHT FAIRLY. HE IS A DIRTY FIGHTER. THIS IS A FACT NOT LIES OR HEARSAY. PLEASE GO TO YOUTUBE AND WATCH HIS PREVIEWS FIGHTS. YOU SEE SHANE MOSLEY FIGHT HIS OPPONENTS IN ACTUAL ACTION. HE HAS THAT MENTAL ATTITUDE TO THIS DAY. THE PHYSICAL ASPECT OF MOST OF HIS FIGHTS DOES IT REPEATEDLY. AFTER THROWING POWERFUL PUNCH ONE, TWO OR THREE, HE COMES CLOSER AND HOLD FOR A CLINCH. THIS IS UNFAIR AND HE CANNOT FIGHT TOE TO TOE WITH AN OPPONENT NOT LIKE OTHER CHAMPIONS. HIS OPPONENT HAS SLIM CHANCE TO COUNTER PUNCH HIM BECAUSE OF HIS UNFAIR BOXING PRACTICE.

    ONE BEST EXAMPLE IS HIS FIGHT BOUT WITH FERNANDO VARGAS AND RICARDO MAYORGA EVEN WITH HIS FIGHT WITH VERNON FORREST. MOSLEY STYLE OF FIGHTING IS BAD AND DIRTY IN COMPARISON WITH OTHER TOUGH FIGHTERS. IF HE DOES IT TO MANNY PACQUIAO, MANNY WILL FIND IT HARD TO WIN. PACMAN DIEHARD FANS AND FOLLOWERS THIS IS A TIP FOR YOU TO REMEMBER HOW SHANE MOSLEY DOES A DIRTY FIGHT.

  • Ben Gurion says:

    SHANE MOSLEY IS NOT A GOOD FIGHTER. HE FIGHTS UNFAIRLY. PLEASE WATCH HIS OTHER PREVIOUS FIGHTS OTHER THAN FERNANDO VARGAS AND RICARDO MAYORGA. THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT MOSLEY IS DON’T LET HIM COME CLOSER BECAUSE 100% HE’S GOING TO HOLD THE BODY AND ARMS OF THE OPPONENT AFTER THROWING FLURRY OF PUNCHES. INSTEAD OF USING HIS ARMS TO COVER HIS FACE FROM ATTACK. HE DOES NOT FIGHT FAIRLY WELL. HE IS NOT AN APPRECIATIVE FIGHTER LIKE OTHER KNOWN BOXERS IN BOXING. THAT’S ONE THING I OBSERVED WITH SHANE MOSLEY. HE IS A DIRTY FIGHTER AND NOT FAIR AT ALL.

  • The Bible of Boxing says:

    Boxing is really becoming a joke, more like a soap opera than a sport. We do not get the best fights due to politics, corruption and greed. Boxers who do not care about us, too many bodies, too many rules that are broken for the most money and another combat sport threatening to overtake us and make us 4th class.
    What are the best fights we get? Either fans jabbing at each other blindly defending boxers who don’t care about the sport. Or the boxers and their people Uusually Floyiots or Pacmaniacs exchanging garbage. The old saying people in glass houses should not throw stones is just about perfect rhere.
    How can we defend Manny now when he is starting to do what we blasted Floyd for doing after he became a cash cow? He has to fight the best and show he has more class than just being a puppet of Rob And-run/Rob a-bum
    To Maytwitter I say again, a fight between you and Pacman could go either way. If you want to reclaim your #1 P4P cut the talk and beat him.
    This internet era has created a bunch of boxers who tweet more than fight. I know you spend lots of time in the gym staying in shape. But may I remind you what Sugarfree Mosley learned against you? There is no substitute for an actual fight. The more you stay away the les your skills will be. By the time we see that fight you will perform just like Sugarfree. Don’t deprive us of a great match and yourself of a great chance to beat a man you and your family say are very easy.
    And please, stop trying to one-up him outside of the ring. Let me see the fearless, skillful Floyd of 130-135 who was out to prove he is the best and not the pitiful, self doubting, cherry picking avoider people are saying you have become.
    Finally if you take a fight before Manny let it be someone who gets you sharp and not another stat. This is your ultimate challenge treat it as such and show us you belong with the Sugar Rays, Hagler, Duran, Chavez, Louis, Ali, Trinidad etc!
    Manny, I am a fan but unles you start facing the best my allegiance is to boxing, NOT to you. You are in danger of falling below Martinez, Donaire and the man you should be facing now… Marquez!

  • Ben Gurion says:

    SHANE MOSLEY DOES NOT FIGHT FAIRLY. LOOK AND WATCH HOW HE FOUGHT FERNANDO VARGAS AND RICARDO MAYORGA ON YOUTUBE. AFTER THROWING PUNCHES, MOSLEY COMES CLOSER AND HOLD THE OPPONENT’S BODY AND ARMS FROM COUNTER PUNCHING INSTEAD OF USING THE GLOVES TO COVER HIS FACE. IT IS NOT A FAIRPLAY, BUT DIRTY PLAY. THERE ARE MILLIONS WATCHING HIS FIGHT, BUT NEVER NOTICED SHANE MOSLEY HOW HE FIGHTS HIS OPPONENTS. IF SHANE DOES THE SAME DIRTY FIGHT WITH MANNY PACQUIAO, I BET MANNY CANNOT WIN AND KNOCKOUT IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY.

    Couldn’t agree with you more.

    ariza has that super juice. khan obviously didnt not want it when he found out that was bein put in his system. roach has spaced himself from ariza for a reason. when someone spills the beans he doesnt want to be in the cross fire.

    MOSELY BY SHOCKING KO!

    NO BOUT A DOUBT IT!

  • Pac You! says:

    I don’t think there’s a problem in Pacman’s camp. I’m sure it’s just a hearsay or somehow from Pachaters camp just to destroy the image of Pacman’s camp. I surely know that bcoz of Pacman being a very good,genuine and a truly gentleman…he would not let anybody from his camp to just go without any big reasons.This only happens in Floyd’s camp. And i’m sure several of Floyd’s members already gone out bcoz of desperation or lost respect on Floyd. Hey Pachaters,why don’t you try to join Pacman’s camp?lol

  • Polo says:

    It could be because of the friction between Roach and Ariza. Roach doesn’t like him pursuaing Pac to do anything. I think Pac obviously doesn’t want to let him go, because he is in the best shape of his life, and he has Ariza to thank for it. Letting Ariza go would be like letting Roach go,you need a team.

  • steroids help says:

    Pacman “oh I really am using steroids.” Ariza “yea dummy how do u think,u were winning?”

    PED PED always the reason of KFC mayweather…. DON’T FORGET THAT HE HIS THE ONE USING SOMETHING IN HIS HAND….. BALOOTT

  • johndoe says:

    Pac getting rid of Ariza is a real sign that he might finally want to fight Mayweather. Remember Pac said he would be too weak to fight May if he gave blood less than 24 days before a fight and then turned around and scheduled a blood test for diseases just 20 days before his fight with Clottey. Which means Pac blatantly lied to get out of fighting Mayweather, which of course Mayweather knew he would do, so Mayweather is scared of Pac since Pac lied. I wish FMJ would grow a pair and quit having Pac lie to get out of the biggest fight ever.

  • johndoe says:

    Maybe Khan is an honest boxer and found out what is in Ariza’s special shakes that Pac proudly admits he has no idea what is in everything Ariza has Pac pump into his body. Even though Pac admits he doesn’t know what Ariza has him ingest, he is sure its not PEDs! I don’t know what it is either, no one but Ariza does, but I want some of this secret stuff that makes you bigger, faster, stronger, and improves pain tolerance and stamina. Obviously anything that does that is not a PED though. I guess Khan has given up on Mayweather and the WW division now that he wants to fight fair.
