Definitely not. Pacquiao was already a damn good fighter before Roach, but he never would have become the great he is now.

Would Pacquiao be where he is today without Roach/Ariza? Give you're thoughts...

Yes- Because he would still have Arum.
Pac is an Arum creation and imo he hasnt really improved on a technical level so i dont put much stock into what roach has done and you can find a decent nutritionist anywhere.
basically i dont think pac has gotten better, just his promotion and matchmaking.

Yes PAC would still be where he's at today with or without roach. Any good trainer would have seen pac's flaws and correct it just like what roach did. Are u guys telling me only roach can see pacman's flaws and only roach knows how to correct it?

He needed alot of work with Freddie and as gifted as he is, is not as gifted as say someone like Mayweather jr.
Who could probably train himself right now.

Pacquiao might or might not have succeeded with him, but he would have still needed a good trainer and it could have possibly taken longer. Ariza is a must. Even more important than Roach. Where else would Manny get his steroids from?
144 lbs, and he had been heading there during his whole career. Agter he finished his full growth at approx 25 years of age, it was a natural procession. He stayed only a short time at the lesser weights because he was still developing into a short stocky, powerfully built man.
I recently saw a fighting picture of Sam Langford. I had always wondered how he was able to fight at 177 lbs when only about 5'6" or 5'7". Then I saw that he was built like Sam Peter, shaped like a barrel, with obviously huge lungs and plenty of muscle. Manny P is the same, on a smaller scale, short and solid.
