Comments Thread For: Koncz: Manny Pacquiao Supported Roach's Firing of Ariza

[Check_hooks]

Koncz and Ariza have always had beef

But Pacquiao is the one who ultimately makes all the calls

[oneon11]

Every camp this dude have, there's always some sort of drama. Most likely its mainly to draw attention to a washed up fighter who insist on bringing up every relevant name in the sport to boost sales for his next fight. Once Rios puts this fool back in that three minute coma that Marquez started hopefully that will close the book on this guy Manny Pacwhatever......

So why doesn't he have the balls to say it, rather than saying "Freddie fired Alex"? And you have the nerve to call Mayweather a coward?

Freddie is a total control freak. Disappointed that Ariza won't be involved, he's a great S&C coach who IMO played a big part in making Manny the beast he was a few years back. That said, it sounds like Manny was slacking on the S&C work ever since after the Margarito fight. For the last fight he barely did any weight training or plyometrics.

Pac aint a boss or leader. Cant even control his own team.

Who is Manny working with in this current camp?

[turnedup]

The issue is here if he said "I fired Ariza" which he did via phone the topic would be exclusively "Manny fired Ariza"..by saying "Freddie fired Ariza" it puts the focus on someone else and doesn't become a distraction. The dude isn't outspoken to any extent even politically so I don't see why folks are acting like this is something new from him. Ariza is gone can we know who is doing S&C instead.

"Fighter of the decade"? That title belongs to Marquez the WBO Fighter of the decade, PAC is the ex and a coward by not having the balls to fired a S&c coach yet hea beast lol, I like PAC but he has looked bad since 2009 when he refuse to take the test is all been down hill since then.

Have to agree with most of the sentiments made.

Manny being advised by Freddie that he was ridding of his strength and conditioning coach, is not really agreeing to it so much as it is, just being told and weakly not even questioning it.

It is pretty clear, he's always just going to stick with Freddie and Arum no matter what, and people around him can clearly see he's weak and take advantage.

Pacquiao should have the balls to say he let Ariza go or they let Ariza go but not just "Freddie fired him". I don't care what anybody says, that's the cowards way out, at least face the man and tell him yourself how you feel instead of hiding behind your team who put it out there anyway. Hes obviously not a coward in the ring but that was a cowardly act for sure. He must leave his balls in the ring.
