Article on Pac post fight

excellent article.

Ariza also refused to address personal issues, but allowed that he met with the fighter Sunday to review a tape of the previous night’s bout with Marquez. It was the second consecutive fight that Pacquiao complained of stiffness in his legs. It was also, Ariza said, the second consecutive fight in which he shrugged off the coach’s track work and agility drills.

“It’s very simple,” Ariza told him Sunday. “My way is Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito. Your way is Mosley and Marquez.”

Doesn't surprise me that Lord Pac doesn't listen to Ariza. what's he know

The only thing I gather from that is when he fights somebody that can actually make him miss and not stand there and get punched in the mouth he has this issue.

um no. He said after the Mosley fight who he murdered. So I don't see your point.

The biggest issue the article points out is that Pac doesn't always do what his trainers tell him to. That's not really news but it's a concern.

The other issue is that Pac might have marital troubles. Again, not new. However, the fact that those may have affected him in the ring could be something.
