Pac will be fine. He just needs some delicious EPO and HGH in him.

I think they're tryin to fool margarito and his team,let's say he looked sluggish,do you really think his team would come out and admit it? Especially not the people hanging around with him in the gym.

They usually do the opposite and say how wonderful he looks in sparring. And when there is any dirt in his camp it usually comes out, like when two of his advisers came to blows in the run-up to the Cotto fight (or the Hatton fight, I've forgotten which) - so they don't seem to be very good or very interested in covering up bad news. And the fact is that Manny does have far too many distractions in the Philippines, which is why Roach tried to stop him from training there, but was overruled. That was the case even before he became a senator, and is far more the case now. So this report is very credible.

You have a few of your facts mixed up, but this report is not that credible, especially with the reports about having only one or two sessions with Ariza. You can easily youtube his recent training and he's been doing conditioning in nearly all of them.

And according to Khan, Ariza followed them to Manila so he can work with Manny. Here he is in Congress.

this is exactly why roach doesnt want the 24/7 cameras watching them now. they dont have any secrets for the tornado. just pac is doing too much at one time

[Tobi.G]

Good that hes just fighting Margarito and not Nayweather. Even if hes not at his best, Margarito will be no problem.

[AnthalaX]

ROFL! . . . Ariza right here is strengthening his "core"

[Ryannn]

Roach is not pleased
