Ariza thinks some of Pacquiao’s sparring partners are better than Bradley
February 14th, 2012
By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao’s strength and conditioning coach, Alex Ariza, doesn’t like the choice of opponent for Pacquiao in facing WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in his next fight on June 9th.
I find that hard to believe, but I’m also not surprised that Ariza is making this comment. He’s also the one that wasn’t impressed with Juan Manuel Marquez, and thought Pacquiao would deal with him with relative ease last time they fought. We saw what happened in that fight. Ariza said this about Marquez to philboxing.com before their fight last November: “I won’t be surprised if Manny knocks him [Marquez] out in the 1st round.”
I’ve seen Pacquiao’s sparring partners in the past and he’s sparring guys anywhere near the same level as Bradley. He’s sparring up and coming guys and I haven’t seen one that I feel will be a future world champion. I don’t think Pacquiao’s sparring partners will adequately prepare for what he’s about to face in the ring when he takes on Bradley, because I don’t think Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is really helping him at this point.
Pacquiao needs a better training that can teach him new stuff instead of the old roll under bit he uses all the time to the point where he’s so damn predictable. And as far as Ariza goes, I think Pacquiao needed to dump him a long time ago because Pacquiao’s stamina looks atrocious and he’s suffering leg cramps all the time now. That tells me that Pacquiao needs to lose Ariza and just focus on good old boxing training without all the extra exercises that Ariza has been tiring him out with. So, lose Roach, lose Ariza and clear out all the hangers on that are just getting in the way during training camp. Pacquiao needs to get with Floyd Mayweather Sr. so that he can tear down his all screwed up fighting style and teach him how to properly fight.

Pacman admits Bradley is smarting by announcing his retirement this year.
In a fight against Floyd, I don’t think it would hurt Pacquiao at all to have a second opinion. I’m too am beginning to question Pacquiao’s progression under Roach’s tutelage and Ariza’s conditioning. But Mayweather Sr. doesn’t have Pacquiao’s best interest in mind and some other trainer should co-train w/ Roach. Roach brought in Michael Moorer once and it turned out well. A legit trainer would be even better. But it would be costly to Pacquiao to break up the friendship and guidance of Roach which you know it would by completely sacking him…
So for Mayweather he probably could use more tools. But he should suffice against Bradley w/ what he’s got.
he is just the help shut it ariza
i agree to lose ariza as a trainer but the idea of losing roach is dumb and irresponsible writing..pac will nail floydie
trash we they fight:D
i dunno why this guy writes columns here. telling the number 1 p4p fighter to change trainer and conditioning coach! hahahaha! you fool! you’re a mayweather fan i get it but your articles are out of control to the point that it doesnt make sense anymore. sad but true..
I don’t think it matters just whom Manny Pacquiao soars with.
JUNE 9TH IS GONNA BE A VERY LONG NIGHT!
Pacquiao sometime Spar with Amir Khan, I wonder why he doesn’t mentions that.I know why because Chris is a hater.
Floyd Mayweather Sr to train Pac? ha ha ha… wtf Chris.. Did you see what happened when Floyd sr trained Ricky Hatton? haha. Floyd sr is overrated like his son. No point in Pac changing trainers he’ll be retiring from boxing before any significant changes can be made by ANY new trainer..
I am hoping that Arum allows the Alter Boy to step in the ring with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
We will all then understand why all of the “Catchweights” were needed…
Both Chris and Mayweather are both racists because they have experience racism in white America. Not all blacks or anybody who experienced racism became racist,though. Those that do become racist, when they get a little power and money, they really go out there and show their racism in disguise of justice. Sad but that is the way it is.
Chris Williams = bitter, sad and lonely troll
Doubt it
Well if they are why are you fighting him then, its the same as saying we have chosen a woman to fight pacman.
Brainless.
“Teach Pac how to fight properly”? Manny is a world champ, Chris you don’t even fight, you’re probably over weight to, and you bad about Pac!!! Stop hating!!
I can not wait till Mayweather get’s this fraud Pacquiao in the ring, he will humiliate him for 36 long minutes.
Alex Ariza: “Manny will KO JMM in Rd 1″
Both Chris and Floyd are racists. Sad but racism still exists in todays society.
Yes,Pacman sparring partners are bigger and more stronger than bradley.That’s why it will an easy fight for Pacman.I’m sure Pacman will just play with Bradley…Pacman will let Bradley punch as hard as he can while Pacman keeps on dancing and smiling at him.That’s how extra-ordinary Pacman is,ok?Bwahahahahahahaha!
The guy obviously has no boxing knowledge whatsoever.
Ariza is annoying.
bradley will try and butt n hug
his way to victory around the ring
