Pacquiao vs. Marquez: Manny will stop Juan Manuel by the 3rd round, says Ariza
October 6th, 2011
By Chris Williams: Alex Ariza, the strength and conditioning coach for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s), sees the November 12th fight between Pacquiao and 38-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO’s) being a fairly easy fight for Pacquiao.
“I don’t think it’s going to go more than three, and that’s no disrespect to Marquez,” Ariza said to fighthype.com. “You got bigger and stronger fighter [referring to Pacquiao].”
It’s interesting how Ariza seems to completely ignore how terrible Pacquiao looked in the first two fights with Marquez, both of which many fans saw Marquez winning. It really didn’t matter that the fights ended in a 12 round draw and 12 round split decision, Pacquiao struggled badly with Marquez’s counter punching and boxing ability. Freddie Roach, the trainer for Pacquiao, likes to point out that Pacquiao didn’t use his right hand much in those fights because he didn’t know how to. However, Pacquiao still looks very beatable even now that he’s using his right hand.
Pacquiao has been looking good against guys like Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley and Joshua Clottey, but each of these fighters were either coming off of losses, were old or just made to order for Pacquiao. Marquez isn’t shot and while he’s getting up their in age, he still seems to have more than enough talent to last the full 12 and give Pacquiao a lot of trouble.
I think Ariza is way off with his prediction, and I think instead of a knockout win for Pacquiao, we could see another fight where Marquez once again dominates Pacquiao, wins most of the rounds in the eyes of boxing fans, yet is forced to settle with a controversial 12 round decision loss. That’s about the best I can see for Pacquiao in this fight. There won’t be any knockouts from either fighter, and the more skilled guy will once again be Marquez.

Marquez to edge it on points.manny looked lame against mosely and unlike Shane,juan whilst not in his prime would have a higher work and punch rate so I can see pacman having problems
@The Great …..Another cheap shot from a very $TUP!D writer! Like all N!GG@$ do! Attack from behind! But no evidence! And Run…
…ILL TELL YOU WHOS THE STUPID ONE ! THE MIDGET WITH THE WORST CONTRACT IN BOXING HISTORY,WHOS TO DUMB TO KNOW WHEN MASTER ARUM IS TAKING HIM TO THE CLEANERS.YOU KNOW THE MIDGET WITH THE 3RD GRADE EDUCATION. HOW YOU DOING!!!
Hey Chris Williams, you need to rename this website to Boxing Half-Truths and Innuendo 24!
who is more knowledgable about PED except those who are using it? or are convicted of using it. I do not marvel if the SR is talking too much about PED.
The Pinoy midget against the Mexican midget. This is one great fight. All action while it last. In the end, fans will get their money’s worth. After the fight, black fighter, as usual will avoid the pinoy midget. From the lips of the greatest fighter.. “And yes, Manny Pacquiao you are next” changed his tune to “I never said that, I only wanted to let the fans hear what they want to hear”. Step up to the plate Floyd.
Fraud clottey admitted fight was fixed
If everything that Chris Williams wrote was true Mayweather should have fought Pacquiao long time ago!
rbt is fmj’s personal desire and not normal boxing protocol in nsc. fmj show all you are the greatest by beating pac.
Because there are always negotiations in ANY fight being made. Floyd agreed to all Pacs demands and Pac ran away because of RANDOM drug screening.
in fmj vs. pac match, pac is always the underdog. why can’t fmj just fight the normal way without his personal desires being imposed on pac?
Plz get ur facts rite none of them 6 fighters you name came off a lose when Pacman fought them look that up
@ Floyds on Roids
The most trusted is the USADA for steroids. Although ALL have lied for athletes including USADA according to an investigation. There is corruption everywhere in the world. But if Pacquiao is clean they aint going to taint his blood. They would hide his postive test though.
pacman is in trouble pacman is in trouble floyd take the dipo he can prove that pacman used drugs, peds, marijuana, shabo, steroid, cocain, and extacy, the evidence came from the mouth whisper of his father floyd sr.
@Ross
Fair enough!
@floyds on roids
Well I don’t think Floyd has any influence on the USADA, but that is just my opinion. We are both e n t i t l e d to our beliefs and suspicions. I don’t know why the May/Vic results haven’t been released yet, but I doubt that means that the tests didn’t take place. Besides, they still had to take the tests by the NSAC also. Which seems to be sufficient proof in the eyes of Pacquiao fans.
@Ross
Both fighters would have to be monitored to make sure both fighters are tested the same amount of times. And, an official to witness each blood withdrawal. Floyd would be the most likely to cheat, it’s his test demand. Floyd hasn’t taken the deposition in court, and the May/Ortiz USADA ROSB testing results were never released. The results have to be released as proof the ROSB testing took place.
@floyds on roids
It looks like we agree then. Lol. Stricter testing needs to be implimented.I am not really convinced that the USADA or WADA would show favortism towards either boxer. I think that maybe Floyd may be a little wary of an agency from the Philippines testing Manny. Manny is a powerful figure in the Philippines and if he was cheating, he could possibly tamper with the tests results. Nothing against the Philippines, but it is no secret that there is a certain level of corruption there. I don’t think either testing agency is crooked in any way. The only problem is WADA doesn’t do their own testing. They only set the guidelines for it. They would only a s s i g n a local lab to do the testing. Well, i just hope that they can agree on something soon. I think we can all agree that the fight needs to happen so people like me don’t have to stay up all night taliking about it, when I should be resting for work in the morning.lol
@Ross
I am all for improved testing for all athletes. Now if you want Manny to take Floyd’s test demand, I’m for that too if a neutral body performs the drug & blood testing, a neutral body that has no affiliation with either fighter! If Arum doesn’t trust the USADA, and May doesn’t trust WADA, to make this fight happen, both parties can agree on a neutral body or team to perform the tests, with no favortism to either fighter.
@floydsonroids
I know he will take the “required” tests. My point is, why can’t Manny step up to prove his innocence?He feels strongly enough about the steroid rumors to take Floyd to court. Taking the RBT for this fight would be a brilliant move to prove his innocence. I find it suspicious that he, or someone from his team wouldn’t recommend using a more strict testing procedure for this fight. I got to be honest “floyds on roids”, it sounds like you are making excuses for Manny. I feel that many of Pacquiao’s fans are afraid of finding out that Manny may using something. As for addressing the testing procedures of the NSAC, why would they listen to me? How many admitted steroid users have flown under the radar? They haven’t changed the procedures because of them, why would they listen to a boxing fan?lol
Ariza knows what he has added in the milk shake. Some comments here, are they in English?
fool guy’s floyd told to larry merchant during interview that you’re not a and boxer so you don’t know about boxing and now nevada state athletic commission told you are not the drug commissioners so you do not know about drugs testing so what a shamed to mayweather himself and to his followers think of it….clear.
@Ross
The fight will be held in Nevada. If the NSAC testing is ineffective, bring it to their attention. Pac is following the rules and taking all the required tests.
The NSAC testing is ineffective. Everyone knows that. Manny could request RBT, just like Floyd has. He could prove to the world that Mayweather is d u c k i n g him, like his team says. He can put to rest all the doubts about him using. If he retires without taking the tests, there will always be a question mark by his legacy.
If Pac defeats Marquez in 3 rounds after Marquez beat him twice before then anyone with half a brain knows something is up? Pac, take the test so Floyd can show the Pac fans that you are not the best.
@Ross
Both fighters will be tested under the Nevada State Athletic Commissions drug & blood testing protocal! If RBT is included in the test, I’m pretty sure Pac will abide by the rules to fight in this country. For this fight to happen it has to be sanctioned.
Bigger and stronger, heh? I bet you know what he is been ‘eating’ or ‘drinking’
ARIZA’S PREDICTION IS ALMOST PERFECT AND CRISSY PLAYING MIND GAMES TO ALL BLOGGERS…ACTUALLY PACMAN WILL PUT MARQUEZ [R.I.P.]IN ROUND SIX MAXIMUM DUE TO MARQUEZ ACCUSSATIONS HE WAS ROBBED AND THERE’S SOMETHING PERSONAL ANGER WITH PAC WHO’S KEP’T SILENCE OF MARQUEZ ACCUSSATION…144 LBS…WILL PUT MARQUEZ MOUTH SHUT GUARANTEED.
So Pacquiao will face an opponent that everyone knows he will beat. What else is new? Ariza, go back to mixing up your special blend. Instead of talking to the press, you should be spending time with your gold digging, Filipino hooker girlfriend.

Ariza should fight Marquez.
@ Surreal
Marquez wants this fight, and according to idiots like you ( Floyd fans ) Pac lost both the last 2. So you should be jumping for joy that Marquez will again fight Pac and make a good fight ( Unlike Floyd ).
JMM does not have to come in at full WW like Fraud made him. Then Fraud had the cheek to come in over, and would not get weighed fight night.
After fighting at WW against the cheat Fraud Maynever, I hope JMM has learnt it is not adding on weight that gets you the win its your skills and stamina. JJm should come in at 140
@Chris Williams, Thank you for hyping my fight. For giving Marquez a chance to win, you will make the fight more interesting. I predict that my fight with Marquez will make 1.5 Million PPV buy. By the way, Floyd/Ortiz fight made 850 PPV buy according to my source from HBO insider.
It’s called Floydiophetamine.
Ariza is penetrating Pacquiao with that special blend!!!
pac could not knock out margarito. he will not ko juan marquez. marquez will give pac another boxing lesson by rearranging his face.
pac will get the decision (DUH) because it is Top Ranks show and bob’s cash cow….
The “MEXICANT” will take a beating he has never experienced then get KTFO!!……..and the prince of the “DARK SIDE” will be next…….done
So Chris Williams is going with Marquez. You know what that means right?
$$$$$ bet on Pacquiao!
once again pactards are eating their own words when floyd was about to fight maruqez they said he was bloated and old Now that the pactard is gonna fight him its ok on weight and skills level what a bunch of F AG S
Another bold prediction from Chrissy! LOL. Don’t you ever get tired of eating crowe ???
ARIZA Knoww best he must be puting some serious sh¡t inPacman´s juice…
Alex Ariza just guaranteed that this bad boy goes the full 12. If Pacquiao doesn’t take Marquez out in 6 rounds, Juan Manuel Marquez will defeat Manny Pacquiao this time. After the 6th round, Manny Pacquiao diminishes in power. (He has little skill) ESPECIALLY IF PACQUIAO IS BLEEDING!!!
manny will win hands down. i don’t care about this fight i need to see floyd fight him next. manny will agree to any blood tests so floyd better not make another excuse not to fight him.
Wish Floyd had a Resume like that. No to mention..Pac fought all the top fighters at the lighter divisions. Something Floyd never did. I dont see how Pac looks beatable..yet..hasn’t been beaten once he implemented that right hand. And FYI..the only reason the first match was a draw was because the judge failed to score the knockdown Pac had on Marquez correctly. So..in reality..you can judge it…1-1..and then with this one…Pac is gonna make sure he goes down..and stays down.
Marquez’ counter punching ALWAYS beats Pacquiao’s agressive punching. SO MARQUEZ WILL WIN A DECISION IN EVERYONES EYES BUT LOSE TO JUDGES EYES AGAIN.
Marquez is training very hard according to the latest news. This fight is personal for him, so don´t count him out yet. But Pacquiao will definitely beat him, just don´t know which round.
They said AFTER I schooled Marquez he was too small. Or he was too bloated, but the same people worship Pacquiao for it! Hypocrites! If Marquez is too small for me then so is Pacquiao using Pactard logic!
Pretty Boy FLoyd, the name “PRETTY” and “BOY” now started to make sense..Floyd is G A Y and he like BOYS. LMAO
Enjoy Pacquiao while u can, his retirement is getting nearer. His ambition to be president is shaping up. He will be busy campaigning either to become a governor or senator, one step to the highest post. I remember, he used to say then, he becomes a boxer out of necessity. Too much poverty forced him to be a boxer and it doesn´t need that much education. He loves basketball as much as boxing, but he said not once, not twice but many times, if he is 4-5 inches taller than his height, he will definitely be a basketball player.
if floyd set up a fight with marquez right now at 144 pounds people would have killed him in the media talking about how marquez cant handle the weight and at almost 40 years old he is too old but for some reason when it comes to manny it ok. The hipocrasy is crazy.
For Marquez sake, he better go down early. If not, he would look worst than his fellow country man, Margo.
And when the Pacman finishes JMM in the very very early round, Floydy will go on hiding, AGAIN.
Pacquiao has been looking HORRIBLE against leftovers! He can not even beat a light weight soundly like Marquez. Just imagine what I am going to do his ped using a s s !!!
Highly doubtful that JMM will go out like Pac’s conditioning coach is saying here…will be a nice battle up in there that night.
this would really fuel steriod abuse if that happened
Here comes Chris alias Dave all over again, drunk with his Kool Aid. He is analyzing the result of the 3rd fight between Pac and Marquez… just like what he did before the Donaire-Montile fight. This is what Chris Willy had to say, Donaire will quit before he gets beaten up by Montiel. He did not have what it takes to be a champion”. Chris Dave knew what happened with his farce analysis. Yet, no apology to Donaire … he just keeps on blubbing erroneously with his faulty pen, indeed! What a farce out of a so so boxing expert whom Chrissy considers himself to be one.
JMM gonna get retired….
my son manny will stop juan in 5th round. manny is eating his favorite meal(pandesal with saluyot) that makes him strong. ariza will add small amount of kangkong and labuyo to boost his energy.
I guesshe knows because he is going to load him up with his special juices since he is not getting blood tested…
Chris Williams is a joker.
Marquez is a Southpaws worst nightmare.
lol
