Alex Ariza myth

ok so a lot has been said about this dude. Floyd doesn't stop talking about how Alex was the key to Pacquiao's success when he was on a tear between 09-11 but i wonder, where was Ariza's magic when pac lost to Bradley and JMM? You can see Alex in the corner for both fights so what happened? To me, Alex has been there for the highs and lows, which sorta tells little about him being such a f genius. It's all BS. Alex seems to be a talker and a problem maker so this is why he gets attention, whilst other strength and conditioning coaches go about their job in a more quiet manner. Alex sells himself but he isn't any better than let's say Manny's current strength and conditioner, Juston Fortune. Manny is undefeated with this guy so far..

So it's all nothing but BS, Floyd and others never seem to mention Alex was in pac's corner when he had his lows.

He also seems to be a scumbag. Roach recently stated that the issue with Alex is that he was too intrusive - he wanted to be everything, from trainer (advising Manny on fights), to strength and conditioning coach to cut man and more. Freddie thought it was a problem and he had to go. Not too mention Freddie asked him about what he was giving Manny to drink and Alex refused to tell him. The dude seems to be a guy full of hot air who gets recognition mainly cause he talks so much. It's no different than doctors, some of the most famous doctors are actually some of the worst, they just know how to sell themselves and have charisma. HE is a fraud.

 

i love it how the lack of KOs' is attributed to everything except opponents. Here's a better explanation of the KOs since 09

Diaz - slow **** fighter with weak defense, Manny bludgeoned him

Hatton - slow and reckless, he ran into punches for 2 rounds! he would get KO'd by 36 year old maNNY TOO

DLH - Manny didn't drop him, DLH simply couldn't see Manny's punches and got hit 1 thousand times, trainer decided to stop it. It would be no different had DLH faces 36 year old Manny

Cotto - A relatively slow fighter who kept charging Manny, Manny would've likely KO'd him today

Maragerito - A super naturally big WW, too big for Manny. Manny re-arranged his face but was cautious, always moving away from the big guy

clottey - pretty much refused to fight for 12 rounds and just covered himself.

JMM - got dropped but has a strong chin...

Bradley - has never lost by KO and fought cautiously fight vs Manny

Rios - iron chin, Manny still re-arranged his face

Algieri - got dropped but ran like a girl for 12 rounds

as holyfield states - Once fighters start KO'ing people, opponents start being more cautious..

This all much better explains the KOs; the Ariza theories are nothing but BS which Aria has fabricated because he's a master salesman, he talks and talks about what a genius he is. Remember, the ones that talk the most are the ones that know the least.

 

mayweather is too smart for that, it's just mind games.

I think he mainly hired Ariza to mess with Manny's head. I also think he gets some comfort level from having someone who knows Manny's strengths well in his camp. I'm sure Floyd is getting any info he can on Manny from Ariza.

 

first of all, JMM didn't school anyone, fight III was a close fight. Out of 100+ reporters, ****ysts who scored fight, JMM had around 57 scoring fight for him and Pac had around 51 scoring fight for him. Compare this with Bradley vs Pac where out of 50+ rung side observers, 50 had it for pac, 3 for Bradley. As you can see, Pac vs JMM III could've gone either way whereas the latter was really a robbery.

The only people who call think JMM schooled Pac in fight 3 are either Mexican fan boys, Pac haters. The true neutral observers who actually know boxing, had that fight real close.

and this nonsense that Ariza was doing nothing but stretching for Pac during a period when Pac struggled is BS... no-one pays and keeps a strength and conditioning coach 'just for stretching' LOL...

 

it's a bit strange but i think Floyd has matured and seems to just be happy about the payday. Pacquiao also makes it difficult for someone to trash talk him. I think Floyd is being extra careful about his image given the magnitude of this fight. I don't think he wants to rub fans the wrong way...
