    he is NOT the best in the business, he is thought of as the best because he's had camera time unlike other conditioning coaches, his methods are not groundbreaking.

    I'm convinced that no other nutritionist could have done the job on Pac and Khan, like he did.

    Ariza must have some dirt on Kahn, maybe he found out Kahn was giving B.J's in the back of the wildcard.

    what exactly has ariza done?

    told them what to eat? monitor their heart rate? put them through circuits?

    how many other conditioning coaches got the chance to work with either?

    pacs only had ariza, before that he was working with former powerlifter ****** fortune who wasn't as educated as ariza and khan was using a rugby strength coach.

    He is amongst the best, but I wouldn't call him the best. Does he even train any athetes outside of boxing? I'd be really impressed if he worked with some basketball players as well.

    Hes an excellent coach for sure. But there have got to be loads of excellent trainers out there who would love to work with Khan.

    Also it doesnt seem that weird to me?
    With Pac fighting at the start of May, and Amir fighting in the UK in April, it was probably difficult for Ariza to give both fighters the right amount of time?

    Im guessing Khan wanted Ariza's FULL attention for the money he is paying him? Otherwise like i said, with less money he could probably get a conditioning coach who is very good and can devote his full attention to Khan?

    This crap has killed my buzz for Bradley/Alexander. I was pretty pumped till this crap came along. Answers would be nice.

    Chill Laz. Enjoy the fight tomorrow. We havent had many fights to look forward to lately.

    As for Khan, hes probably just hiring a cheaper conditioning coach who can devote his full attention to Khan for his April fight.

    It doesnt mean he has dropped Ariza permanently does it? Its very plausible khan realised its better off getting a good conditioner who will be cheaper and can devote his full attention to Khan. He can always go back to Ariza for any superfights he may have in the future.

    He's new to the game and has only worked with Roach's stable, so I can't give an extensive list of fighters on his resume. But those few that he has worked with - Pac, Khan and Chavez - he's done an extraordinary job. Maybe it's more to do with the fighters themselves and the trainer, I don't know. But I don't think the likes of Pac and Khan would be looking as good as they have been, with any other guy.

    the difference pac, khan, chavez has had with ariza is that they're eating right and training right, ariza covers every aspect of fitness... strength, explosiveness, agility, endurance, everything is periodized, any good conditioning coach can do that.

    He worked for Corrales for his Mayweather fight and he was hired by Morales as well and then fired.
