You want to put some real $$$ on that?

No i dont because i dont have money to play with like that. Child support for 3 kids, plus insurance aint cheap you know. Though i can pretend im a "Balla" with unlimited money, and respond to you because i feel challenged by someone online, and i have to prove my worth by accepting a public forum challenge.

No he doesnt. Why do you think Manny moved his camp to LA? Because Freddy couldnt keep his as$ out of the pool hall.

First, I get my hands wrapped, than I do a little shadow boxing; I spar between seven and 12 rounds -- it all depends on how I feel -- and then I work the heavy bag for 20 or 30 minutes; floor work with Roger [Mayweather]; than I work the pads with Roger; work the bodysuit with Nate [Jones]; do the speed bag; neck work with the weights; 200 sit-ups, pull-ups, dips, jump rope; and sometimes the double-end bag -- so it’s a long, long day. Then, I run between five and eight miles after training is over. It’s a very grueling and hard workout, but it’s worth it

Even I do more sit ups a day than that, Pacquiao does 2000

If you have responsibilities that is fine. But I already know that real money in the equation changes everyone's opinion.

Right you are. Also when people respond to money challenges, a lot of the time the person who initiated changes his/her mind, and confidence dramatically drops due to a new found form of objectiveness.

You don't even know what Floyd's regimen is yet you are arguing that Pac's is better?

FAIL.

Never looked into Floyd's regime in detail, but I'm looking in to it and my original opinion has not changed.

In a recent interview before the Cotto fight Ariza said “Its very fortunate that Manny has responded so well to the exercises we do now and the new circuit training and things like that. We’ve got a good program where we focus on the strength part of it doing all the explosive movements, the plyometrics, ballistic training and in the last few weeks we focus on speed, strength work, balance,agility and things like that.? “In the first 4 weeks of training camp we keep him on a 7000 calories a day diet, and closer to the fight a few things are taken out of the diet but he still has to keep his intake up. He has to have a protein shake before going to bed, he has one at 3am, and another one first thing in the morning. He has up to six meals a day and six protein shakes a day when in training for a fight. We have to keep weight on him, as he trains so hard. We can’t have his body dropping calories.?br />
In training camp every morning Manny will be up at 5 am running. Ariza uses inteval training routines. They might also do tabatas of 20 seconds on 10 seconds rest to replicate the type of energy required for a fight. Ratio of activity to rest is almost always negative. They will either do this kind of training in the hills where they can do hill sprints as well, in a park or sometimes at the beach where they run in the sand. If and when Alex feels they need to do some low impact type work they will do a pool session. At the end of this session they may do a bit of plyometrics, ladder drills and core exercises. Alot of emphasis is placed on the core. As soon as this session is complete he does a thourough warm down and stretch followed by a meal with sufiecient carbohydrate to raise his insulin levels to promote recovery. He then has a protein before going home to rest up for the afternoon session in the gym.

The afternoon session starts with a good warm up (including various dynamic and static stretches) and usually some shadow boxing.

7000 calories a day!!!!!

Thats about 2 marathons worth, being his size.

[mushahadeen]

damn you can disagree w/ mosley but he's a HOFer. fat losers on messageboards showing him no respect because he happens to be old as hell and lost his last 2 fights shows the internetz is ruining the world.

[4Corners]

To even suggest that Floyd isn't going to take him seriously, when Cotto is a very real challenge and Floyd is one of the hardest workers in the sport, is just dumb.

Floyd will be ready and I am sure Cotto will as well.

[turbotime]

You don't even know what Floyd's regimen is yet you are arguing that Pac's is better?

FAIL.

Selective thinking is fantastic.

[al-Xander]

Cotto has a new weapon now. A bike. He survived in the later rounds in the Pac fight because of it. He used it in the Margarito fight and it worked for him.

So I don't expect Cotto to stand there and get potshotted by Floyd without unleashing his own potshots. They'll potshot each other. Main difference is power. Cotto has more power than Floyd.

anyone who believes fighters utilize a "cookie cutter" training regime is on another level of ******ity. how can you actually believe that reading a fighters regimen makes you understand all the subtleties and various routines that go into a program during camp. it changes daily, stop trying to prove a false point. everyone on here already thinks you're a moron, so why dig yourself a deeper hole? I guess probly cause its impossible to dig deeper than you already are...

your ignorance levels put me in a state of shock and awe, literally. you have a gift my friend
