DIAZ: "I didn't say he CHEATS, I said that he's a FRAUD"

[horge]

Who cares what Diaz thinks? Hes an old fart cutman that has no business being a head trainer.

He's not just a cutman.

He was named 1999 Trainer of the Year
by the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

dont even respond to that ******. Dudes a ******* to the fullest and doesnt watch boxing, just pacquiao, and his gay little team

He never said at all that Ariza cheated. He just said that Ariza is taking undo credit for Pac being great when he has minimal to nothing to do with how good a fighter pacman is. I don't where he is calling anybody a cheater.

diaz is an awesome guy.


it tickles me to see people talk so confidently when they clearly don't watch the sport outside of their favorite fighter (in this case favorite trainer) and live off examiner articles to form opinions.

The sting and resulting stigma of the accusations apparently still resonates with Ariza, who believes that Diaz was unfairly targeting him.

"I train my fighters, and I'm legitimate. I don't give them anything. Anything illegal," said Ariza, who was still fuming long after the fight's conclusion. "If that makes him [Diaz] feel better, and that's his way, I just didn't think that it was an appropriate place to do it after a fight, but, it is what it is."

But Diaz said that he was not accusing Ariza of doing anything illegal.

"Maybe it's in his subconcious or something like that. But at no time did I ever say that he cheats," said Diaz. "I didn't say that he cheats, I said that he's a fraud if he thinks that Manny Pacquiao is what he is because he had anything to do with why Pacquiao is what he is. Pacquiao and Freddie Roach are of everything, with or without Ariza."

Thanks for the update man.

Ariza has got way more credit than he deserves, i guess Diaz pointing that out really hurt Ariza's feelings.

[PinoyZoi]

I think Ariza helped Pacquiao improve his stamina. His conditioning is tough, saw it live.

No matter HOW good a nutritionist/conditioning consultant he is,
Ariza's mouth has been disproportionately busy as of late. Really,
disrespecting Miguel Diaz' own accomplishments was out of line.

[The Gambler1981]

Diaz 10 Ariza 9

Come on that has to be a 10-8 rounds that first line was a knockdown for sure.

The guy seems like a class act to me.
