Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley's Trainer Hits Back at Roach and Ariza

[Rome-By-Ko]

I didn't think Manny was knocking Marquez out like others, thats for sure. A lot of you talk like you know boxing but don't know much about the politics of it or Bob Arum who's been buying, wining, and dining judges since probably before we were born. Pacquiao is not going to lose against anyone before Mayweather, not Bradley not Marquez, no one until uncle Bob cashes out.. Bradley's not as good as you think he is.. Holt, Witter, Alexander come on man were and what are these guys doing now, they are all either bums, journeymen or both..

You sound like you don't know much about this sport tbh...Mosley is a future HOF,but before his fight with Hoya he did not beat anybody of note..Pac did not beat anybody of note until he beat Morales,JMM did not beat anybody until his fights with MAB and Pac...You see the trend friend??They all needed shots at the big shots fighting at the time,Bradley is no different,you can call Bradleys opponents anything you want,but guess what??Bradley outclassed umm all...Which is more then Pac could say in his early yrs....

[GRUSTLER]

Yeah but what separates JMM & Bradley is power & accuracy, Bradley wouldn't do good against PAC cuz PAC wouldn't have to think 2 & 3 times b4 coming in & getting countered by a hard shot. Let's face it Bradley is a black paulie malinaggi

We can agree to disagree but remember when I told you that Bradley style is going to disrupt Pac big time.

[Bushbaby]

Bradley is no JMM.
He doesn't have the power to get pacs respect, he won't be able to keep PAC off of him PAC wud break him down trust this is a BS FIGHT

Bradley has more power at 140 & above than Marquez does. Keep Pacman off of him, he doesn't even need to punch to do that. Just move & Pacman will be lost. Don't talk power, Mosley didn't throw & Marquez is a lightweight. Bradley isn't shot or small & is fast of hand & foot.

Ill bet all my points that bradley doesn't beat pac

[arw]

If this plays out like i think it will...I see Manny constantly ****ing his hands together lol...This will be another frustrating night for old Pacquiao.

This is an easier bet than Floyd tho, Manny wins by UD even if Bradley knocks him out he will still loose as the ref will suddenly forget how to count to ten...

I loved Diaz's demeanor during this interview... He stood up for his fighter and you can tell he has genuine confidence heading into the fight.. There's some question marks floating around Pacquiao with how he has looked the past few fights and his recent retirement talk.. This is an interesting matchup IMO...

[mathed]

Bradley has no shot against Pac.
He waited for the opportunity and got lucky.
But he has been inactive as a result and this will add to his woes come fight night.
Tim lacks power and style.
Manny has a quantity of both.

Joel Diaz disagrees.....

The fight is set to go down June 9th at the same venue but it’s worth noting that while Bradley has signed on for the contest, Pacquiao has yet to his ink his contract to make the fight official.

Giving his take on that little piece of news, Bradley’s trainer Joel Diaz feels the Filipino icon has his reasons for such reluctance, bringing his debatable decision over Marquez three months back into the equation.

“I don’t blame him,” Diaz said during our conversation. “A lot of people underestimate Tim. But Timothy is a lot faster than Marquez. He has faster feet and faster hands. He might not have the punching power, but he has faster movement. To me, Marquez won that fight. If Pacquiao has not signed, it’s because he has a little bit of doubt.”

**I thought Ariza's comments were sheer ******ity and Diaz is speaking the truth here. These dudes had better watch some tapes or something because if they write Tim off, Pac is gonna have a rough night, real rough.

Ariza took things further yesterday during a conversation with Ben Thompson of FightHype.com, showing disinterest in the Bradley fight, claiming that Pacquiao's sparring partners at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles were even better than him.

Yet again, Diaz would stand up for his fighter.

Alex Ariza can say whatever he wants,” Diaz said firmly. “He doesn’t even know Tim Bradley. He’s never been in camp with Tim Bradley. He hasn’t even stepped in the gym to see Tim Bradley train. I mean, I can say the same thing. I can open my mouth to the world and say ‘In my gym I have better fighters than Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. I have better fighters than Manny Pacquiao’. But who’s going to believe me?”

“I give every fighter his respect,” Diaz explained. “I cannot compare any fighter to Tim Bradley. Let me just tell you, if he has better fighters in his gym, better fighters than Tim Bradley, how comes nobody knows them? How come they’re not world champions?”

[Alpha & Omega]

And Pac has still not signed the contract....tick tock tick tock. Man they will wait until the last minute to find a way out of this. As I said several times before, Pac was painted into a corner and had no choice but to choose Bradley. Cotto wouldn't be weight drained, they refused to get in the ring with Floyd, Lamont is fighting Khan, and Pac would be crucified for fighting JMM again, and that's a fight he knows he can barely win either. I will not believe this fight until Pac signs the contract. Pac may win a decision but I am telling you as I have told the world, he is in for a hard night against Bradley. The last real win the world has seen from Pac was the Marg fight...Pac is on his way out. People need to stop underestimating Bradley.
