Comments Thread For: Ariza Concerned: "Manny Pacquiao's Weight is Too Low"

[GRUSTLER]

I see this being a difficult fight for Manny. But if he hasn't lost anything, his speed will be the difference inthe fight. Speed destroys a plodder like Margarito. Margarito will keep coming forward, but in the words of George Foreman, you can't chase a puncher around the ring. You will eventually walk into some serious firepower.

I think Margarito is the type of fighter that you have to beat
with more than just speed. the more a guy backs up or tries
to evade Margarito, the more momentum he gains. Pac is going
to have to sit on his punches and take Margarito off of his rhythm.
Cotto tried to outbox and use speed against Margarito but all he
did is get worn out and put down. Pacquiao is the big favorite in
this fight but if it is on the up and up, then an upset is possible.

i was gonna buy this dam fight but not anymore. this is just all b.s to hype. im not buying in anymore. PASS.......

just add two more magical shakes daily to the existing regimen. Should do the trick and add the poundage

Like Ariza said its to late! If Pacquiao adds weight now, he will get sluggish and slower. I think the 147 pound weight class should be the limit for Pacman.
He cant get higher without slowing down.

Pac does look at least two weight classes smaller than Margarito.

I don't know, I'm getting the same feeling here that I had about the Margarito/Cotto fight. Cotto and Pac are better fighters, but Margarito is a tough matchup for them, always will be. This isn't going to be Clottey shelling up for 12 rounds, that's not how Tony fights.

This lame sportswriter in the name of... is interviewing Ariza, world-class conditioning expert, again.

So, Manny is not training very hard and looking bad, yet he is also training so hard he can't keep the pounds on?

Manny must be looking REALLY good if the people around him are working so hard to convince us he is looking bad.
