Ariza: Forget Mosley, He's a Quitter, Marquez Has Balls - Boxing News

Strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza doesn't see any reason for Manny Pacquiao to fight Shane Mosley next. Ariza is a core member of Pacquiao's team. He views Mosley as a quitter who mentally gave up in his May fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. After coming close to knocking Mayweather out in the second round, Mosley was dominated in every following round to lose a lopsided twelve round decision in Las Vegas.

"“Everybody knows I like Marquez. It doesn’t matter, 140, 144, 145, whatever they want to fight us. Mosley? He’ll be tired after 15 minutes so what’s the point of that fight? Manny knocks him out and probably, Manny won’t even train for that fight. That guy is a quitter. He quit against Mayweather in three rounds," said Ariza to The Philippine Star."


Coming from a trainer, I would say that this guy is a bit stupid for calling Mosley a quitter. When it was more eveident that he was over trained, 38, and coming off a long layoff the reason for his strange and sudden fatigue. To me the Mora fight showed that Mosley has nothing left on the world class level.
