Oh, of course. I am not trying to knock on Pacquiao's talent and skill level at all... I am a Pacquiao fan, IMO he is the best fighter of our generation.
But I meant that his WW run, which to me is one of the most impressive things I have seen in history (taking on every top WW in the division, guys who Floyd had ducked for years), had a lot to do with proper conditioning to go up in weight perfectly and do serious damage to guys who had been at the weight for years. That's where I was coming from.
Ariza did a great job in making the Pacman go up in weight in a great way and take his skills and talent and make them WW (heck even JRMW) effective.
agreed... I do think Ariza needs to reign it in though. He doesn't get all the credit for a Rios win here.
I'm really sick of this guy. He's so damn full of himself. To question what Roach has done for Pacquiao is absurd. Ariza is useless and a distraction, and that's exactly why he isn't working for Pacquiao anymore.
