Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Will Not Beat Mosley, Says Ariza

[Cash Cow]

Alex Ariza, the strength and conditioning coach for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, doesn't think Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be able to beat Shane Mosley on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Not only that, but Ariza told Gareth Davies of The Daily Telegraph that he wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather backed out of the fight with an injury or illness. [Click Here To Read More]

So wait.....

Ariza says Floyd will "run" BUT will box & score enough points en route to a 12round decision?



Does he know what "boxing" is?

translation..

i agreed with ariza.. i've actually posted something like this before.. there will be a phantom injury by mayrunner if or when he see's ticketsales are ****ty.. then he'll postpone it due to other issues which will force mosley to take up the berto fight again.. then he'll be in another IRS debt that he'll have to look for the "biggest" fight out there.. at this point ivan calderon will still be undefeated.. and call out floyd.. the fight will happen at a catch weight of 144.. and floyd wont make it.. the fight will be called "Someone's boring 0, has got to go".. it will be on mayweathers 1st ppv even as a promoter.. for $79.99.. (+$10 for HD, since there will be plenty of punishment..) it will have a 6 month, weekly 24/7 show.. then mayweahter will win a split decision and retire as the 'GREATEST'...

I use to like Pac till he and his team evolved into one heaping pile of sh-t!! I know the Mayweathers talk a lot, but they are entertaining, Roach, Ariza, and Arum nearly bring me to hate.

It's funny how Pac's team can't stop talking about Mayweather

its funny how floyd cant stop talkin about pac.

Are you asking if a ******* knows anything about boxing?

Bro, Ariza is just a track and field coach.

When has Floyd had a fight, signed, sealed, and promoted, then BACKED out?

I'll wait.

When have you ever seen Mayweather back out a fight in his career? Mayweather isn't going to back out when he has so much money to make and then put himself in a better position to make even more. Shane Mosely is another steeping stone for Mayweather to get more of what he fights for and that's money and another belt. Just adding another belt to his waist will make him a 7 time world champion in 5 weight divisions plus a 20 million plus payday. Ariza is hoping just like the rest of the Arum camp that the fight doesn't happen. The PPV numbers will be off the chart so add another 5 million plus to Mayweather's pockets plus more negotation leverage.

There is no one style of fighting that attracts people to boxing. Smoe people like to see brawlers and some like to see those who stick and move. The last time I checked compu box, Floyd Maweather had some of the highest connect percentages of any active boxer. I would rather see someone throw meaningful punches that actually connect than to watch someone throw wild punches that hit nothing. Both styles are actually good for the sport. Elite boxers and athletes in general play on their strengths to win. This has been the success of Pacquiao and Mayweather. They know how to win and what methods to use in doing so.

There's one style that's always been effective.. it's called action.. and seconded by fighting the best...there's a reason why the names that are so tied in with boxing were real attractions.. you had tyson, who earned 20mill plus for couple rnds.. but ko'd everyone in his path.. well other than douglas.. ha ha.. plus at that time HW division was supreme.. then you had de la hoya.. a pretty boy that would take your girl and KNOCK YOU THE **** OUT.. fought the best champions.. then manny.. who's not fought the best.. but he's fought elite fighters... like marquez at a level playing field, and what he did to hatton and dlh has to impress a lot more than dancing around and countering all night... landing left hooks all night vs hatton... who's only other fight at 47 was a loss to collazo.. also jcc.. he was just an artist.. he fought greats and beat them convincingly.. well except for pernell.. mayweather is a great boxer.. reason why i dont like him is cause he claims to deliver fihgts of the yr.. when in reality they're nothing but glorified sparrin sessions.. vs clearly overmatched/outclassed opponents.. this will be a true test.. mosley is a lot smarter than anyone he's faced.. but yet i think it will still be boring.

real boxing fan's appreciate the less boring boxing styles displayed by mayrunner, calderon, dirrell, ward.. i know i like some.. but you can't say to casual fans, which is what draws the big PPV numbers would look at one of these fights and say.. 'MAN THAT WAS GREAT!'.. didnt think so..

marquez vs vasquez 1-3 was a real dream fight for boxing and brawler fans.. showed skills, wills, guts, and furious exchanges.. sucks that a 4th one is happening.. cant see a real winner in that.. but those are the peole that deserve the pile of cash..
