Comments Thread For: Mayweather Can't Run From Pacquiao, Says Ariza

[Doctor_Tenma]

Floyd needs to check himself before he recks himself. He's a dirtier fighter than Pacquiao is for sho since he uses them elbows like crazy.

Not as much against south paws. Mayweather should find a good dirty move to use against them.

I have a feeling that floyd sr has big respect for pacquiao as a great fighter. He showed up during the pac-cotto fight. I think that he believes he's in the presence of greatness, but just in denial atm. I am not saying he is, but I just have a feeling. Pac team on the other hand need to stfu. Im wondering why the floyd team has been quiet lately except for the olympic testic thing.

Floyd's team is doing a good job with the gag order. Ellerbe said that "we're trying to make a deal, not break a deal'.

Overall, Pac's team have done OK. With the notable exceptions of Roach and Ariza. I'm gonna start calling him "Red Light Fred". When that camera light goes on, Freddie Roach can't help himself.

Are you saying that Roids are not detected by medical examinations conducted to fighters just before the fights? What a lame accusation and STFU!!!

I think the calves have nothing to say about that. It could be by some but I have big muscular calves and big theighs (Pacquiao has them too) and I can tell you that I don't do steroids *looooooooooooooool* I do a lot of road work as well... but they stay... I also think that this is where his power comes from. You can get power through technique... and through dynamic... look at how Tyson was build... of course it was his technique but also his legs... if he pushed out of them it was hurtful.

Although I stated before... that Manny ain't punching as hard as he was before... yes, he knocked out Diaz but it took a perfect shot to do it... he beat DLH around but couldn't knock him out... he needed a perfect shot against Hatton (he had him down two times before, Mayweather killed him with one shot)... he knocked Cotto down with a perfect uppercut but couldn't finish him... he's still heavy handed and if he can stand in front of you and throw his combos it will hurt you... but I don't think that he is the kind of puncher he was at 26/30...

I can't recall a fighter that has come up and weight 7 weight classes and has become more powerfull with each weight class they go up. They've been comparing Pac with Henry Armstrong but Armstrong was outboxing and outclassing the naturally heavier opponents.

It's almost as if Roy Jones in his prime moving up to heavyweight and just demolishing the heavyweight's elite. And you saw that didn't happen.

And I agree with you, there's no proof of Pac doing steroids but I really don't understand why people get their panties in a bunch if other people have su****ions of Pac being on something. In todays world of sports anything is ***in possible. You CAN NOT rule anything out. If you're claiming Pac is definitely on the juice then show proof. If you are just su****ious then that's ok because you never know.

I agree, nothing wrong with being su****ious knowing the kind of crap that happens nowadays. But on the side note. How in the world are you going to say Armstrong outclassed his opponents. Have you seen some of his vids? Pacquiao by the same notion has been truly outclassing his bigger counterparts--apart from Cotto fight--almost all of his bigger opponents hardly touched him--Oscar, David Diaz, Hatton, the reason many felt he wasn't tested prior to the Cotto fight.

Watch the pac cotto fight again in round 9 and tell me if he doesnt have power. Hatton was knocked down 2 times but couldnt finish him? same can be said in the first marquez fight where he knocked him down 3 times. Mayweather finishing hatton in 1 shot? LMAO. Pac made hatton unconscious for 5 min while mayweather? well he couldnt even ko a bloated up lightweight. knocking down someone doesnt mean that a fighter has a great punching power. Hatton went 100 miles an hour to the left hook and the turnbuckle against mayweather

bad brains,

You keep saying this repeatedly. It has no meaning. Marquez has never been stopped.

That is like saying Pac has no power because he couldn't knock out Larios...a bloated up 122er. Who, btw, has been KO'd in one round by Izzy. Knocked unconscious by Izzy. In the previous fight.

[lee majors]

they would be quickly.

And he hasn't been ban yet? Boxingscene is a trip, **** is blatant as hell around here. SMH

the difference is that mayweather completely outclassed marquez and landed 59% of his punches. + the size difference was so obvious during the fight whereas in the larious fight against pacquiao, it wasnt. Fact is, mayweather is not a strong puncher. Also, pac has way more power in his weight today than in the superfeatherweight class. This is the most devastating i can ever recall pacquiao is.

He has said this twice before (three times now including this article). People just don't seem to get it (not you in particular, but people in general). A nutritionist can give people (not just athletes) tons of different blends of things. From Vitamins, to protein powders. B-hop has a nutritionist that provides advice, workout ideas, and supplements. Are we to assume B-hop is on something? I mean he's is 45!!!

The reason most people get nutritionist, is so they don't put the wrong thing in there bodies.

Now unless the nutritionist is dirty (i.e. that cat that got Mosley his stuff) other than that, this is nothing more than a mind game...That doesn't even seem to be effecting Manny or Roach.

HS,

1) That cat didn't "get" Mosley anything. Mosley took a flight and a limo and paid by check and met conte and was taught how to inject himself, etc.

Mosley doesn't have a back door. That came out in court.

2) what is concerning is that Ariza is NOT the nutritionist. Pac has a highly-competent, credentialed nutritionist. So what may have caught people's attention was Ariza stepping forward to take ownership for nutritional supplements. "Special mixes", as it were.
