Lets talk about Alex Ariza here.

[Boss Don]

Pac is willing to take 2 blood tests.

yeah at the press conference and after the fight whats the point of that??

[Left Hook Tua]

Which is the whole reason why tests are done.Roach simply doesnt want to get caught that's why he wants the testing before training and after the fight.He doesnt mind getting caught after the fight for obvious reasons,they will have made the money and only a part of Manny's purse will have been with held.

umm...... he agreed to one during training camp.

i saw an article where he's willing to do one a week before the fight.

There is a HUGE gap in between. I thought it was 3 by the way.

Roach suggested a compromise, saying he would allow Pacquiao to give a blood sample one week before the fight, but no closer than three days before the bout.

they should do 3.

1 in the middle of training camp (between 3-6 weeks before the fight)

1 a week before the fight

1 after the fight



that should suffice.

Ariza said that only he had knowledge of what goes into Pacquiao's body, not Pacquiao but himself. Anyone here think that Ariza revealed to Roach/ Pacquiao something that made the 2 change their minds about the blood testing? I mean keep in mind, Roach and Pacquiao didn't have an issue with testing untill recently. Even Richard Schaefer said that Arum went public on not having an issue with the testing. Now all of a sudden, things have changed. Anyone come to the conclusion that Ariza probably has something to do with this?

Somebody said that Ariza was linked to drug allegations... has somebody a link or something on that?

To tell you the truth... if Ariza was linked to something and then makes such an statement... that nobody knows what happening but him it's open up the door for a lot of accusiations... this is simply were all the BS they talk wrote them a check that they can't cash IMO... that's why it is better to let fighters do the talking and not a trainer like Ariza who has no idea of the medial outleash... he thought he talked gutsy and **** BUT now through his gutsy talk he opened up a can that has no bottom...

i dont know how many tests it is but it shouldn't even matter there is no reason why Pacquiao should not want to be tested no reason

That's where the secret is.Roach knows everything that's happening.If Manny was clean he would let the testers get on with their work

[Robert Mugabe]

ariza didn't come on board 'til last year.

only difference i see in pacquiao is technique.

And when did Pacquiao become a better fighter?
Isnt he the same guy whose head would move like it's about to be disconnected from his neck everytime Marquez would hit him? All of a sudden he gets hit by Cotto and he doesnt flinch?
