Wasn't Ariza with Manny during the time when so many people accused Manny of taking PEDs? And now Floyd hires him? Odd.

I think Floyd's biggest threat is a guy like Maidana. I think as athletes age they have a harder time getting up for fights and maintaining that intensity without the big threat. Roy is a good example to look at. He was up for Ruiz, n while I don't feel that was his best win, he looked very impressive and ENERGIZED during the fight. As much as I trash Roy's opposition, I feel like his first win over Tarver was his most impressive as he was obviously unmotivated and had to show heart n mental toughness to win. His loss to Galen Johnson and the rematch with Tarver seemed to me like he was disinterested and just lost energy/focus when they stayed with him in the fight. Like he thought: "these guys aren't great and shouldn't be a threat, I should look more spectacular" n that made it less "fun" or interesting.
EVERYONE will be "up" for Floyd, who looks at pretty much everyone else as an inferior fighter (because they were during his prime). A guy like Maidan had no business in the ring w a prime Floyd so when he came out and made it ugly n tougher than it should've been, Floyd was able to win but the excitement/energy were not there. For the rematch, Floyd used that first fight as motivation n came in much more focused. I give Khan n Manny a better chance to beat Floyd these days due to the style match up n fact that they will be up for the fight (still favor Floyd though). That is also part of the reason I would like to see Floyd fight GGG, he would be EXTREMELY motivated n likely turn in a masterful performance.
Floyd has recently been seen drinking a strange liquid out of a 24kt diamond studded goblet given to him by Ariza, Floyd's father said no one knows what's in it.
