Conte – Pacquiao’s cramps could be caused by a depletion of certain minerals in his body

By Chris Williams: While it seems to some that Manny Pacquiao’s recent case of chronic leg cramps re a sign of Pacquiao showing his age, Balco founder Victor Conte differs on that opinion. He sees it as a case of Pacquiao having depleted some of his valuable minerals in his body from hi strenuous workouts he’s been going through with his strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza.

It may be that Ariza is driving the Filipino star too hard draining his bodily fluids and leaving him weak in the legs when fight time comes. The weird thing is I can’t recall Pacquiao ever having a case of leg cramps before Ariza started working with him. Could be that Ariza is working Pacquiao too hard and leaving him drained and weak in the legs when it comes to his fights?

I don’t know but when you consistently have things going wrong, you have to eliminate things to find the culprit. Maybe Pacquiao should back off on his Ariza training and just focus on working out with trainer Freddie Roach for a one-fight experiment. If the leg cramps disappear, then lose Ariza but if they’re still there then Pacquiao may be getting old after all.

Conte said this to the examiner.com “It’s about having the proper balance of all these nutrients and making sure you consume those in the right ratios, and that you monitor and test them to make sure you are balanced.”

I wish I knew what the nutrients were because Pacquiao seems to need to them in a big way, because he’s getting diminishing returns for whatever exercises or nutrients he’s getting. It could be time to go back to the basics for Pacquiao and just go with what got him to this point without the help of a special trainer that seems to be depleting his energy and bodily fluids with his exercises.

    oakland stoke IS CHANGO LOVER

  • IBM says:

    I think style makes fight and Marquez style was too difficult for Pacquaio to figure out. He worked with Ariza in most of his big fights why just now he is complaining.

  • Freddie says:

    One of the side effects of steroids is muscle cramps. Why are we not surprised that Pacroid has been suffering from this in his last two fights?

    Pacquiao is on PED/steroids. Everyone knows that by now.

  • Robbo says:

    Guys for the record the leg cramps were there pre-Ariza, thats why he was brought in, Manny asked Freddie to look into it and he drafted in Alex, and there have been no re-currance/mention until his last fight where it coincided with being outboxed, if Manny comes out and says yeah fair cop i’m no good against a slick counter puncher like Juan-Manuel, where does that leave the hype of a Floyd fight, how much money?????? Its clear that Ariza’s work is nothing to do with the problem, a problem which I suggest is being enhanced for the show to go on

    Pay close attention to what the writer is saying.

  • Little Man says:

    Those who idolize a criminal are criminals themselves in a way. Great example for your kids to follow. Who can argue with criminal minded people? They have twisted reasonings like Floyd. Birds of the same feathers…

    Funny. N sad. U gotta get out more

  • mannyfresh says:

    Manny Claus lol well played sir

  • unca rajah says:

    Pacman shouldn’t be fighting above 140…that cross dressing golden boy started all these.

  • white rice says:

    It’s called steroid usages…my question is why does manny even have a problem taking a test.the fight could have happen 3 yrs ago but pacquiao kept making excuses as to why he can’t take the test.pacquiao ask mayweather1 time for a 10 million per lb demand that has nothing to do with the boxing committee; and guess what? Mayweather said no problems..Alex ariza said it best they never wanted the mayweather fight!

  • Manny-Clause says:

    Twas the night before Christmas, and all the house
    Not a pactard was stirring, not even a mouse.

    Pac could have fought Floyd, had he taken the test
    Why on earth do you tards still call Pac the best?

    Now Floyd is going to jail, so it’s time to move on
    Now Pac can fight another oldie, it will be another con!

    Pac should wait and fight Floyd, we all know it’s right
    Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night…

  • Adele says:

    PEDs has a way of making you old quicker than normal, hasnt it?

  • C'MON MAN says:

    We all know what ‘minerals’ he is missing lol.

  • the boxer says:

    I Dont think there’s any cramping of Pacman’s legs. its only because MARQUEZ and Mosley didnt allow him to overstep on the outside of their foot. But Pacman tried but it only made him tired. And thats why Pacman was stepping on their feet.

  • Check Cashing Business says:

    Pacs cramps are just an excuse because he can not beat old guys that are not as good any more. This is why his puppet master Bob protects Pac from Floyd and Sergio and others! :)
