Pac and Roach met before Pac fought Ledwaba, and the Filipino trainer in Manny's corner acting as Roach's second was Ben Delgado. Leopoldo "Polding" Herrera was Pac's trainer/mentor/manager/promoter in his younger years, and that was even before he became the Philippine flyweight champion...
Thank you very much, I wanted to learn more about how Roach came to work with Pac, And what sort of training Pac had when he was wit his old trainer because i remember that pac was very one-dimensional in those days, He only use his left hand but Roach has since made his right into a big force since those days.
I was shocked no-one knew the name of his former trainer especially all the people that support or nuthug him on boxingscene, This really shows the people who only started watching him two years ago and those who have been following for years but it sems like you actually know your stuff when it comes to pac.
If my memory serves me correctly Pacquiao and Roach met formally at the Tyson/Lewis fight in 2002 after Pac fought Julio. I don't know the name of the Filipino trainer beofe but it was Roach from that time forward.

there was a trainer that stepped aside at around the Ledwaba fight...but he and Roach were both in Pac's corner for that fight, I think.
I'd have to rewatch the fight to get a name of that guy though.
It has never been mentioned anywhere as far as I know or since I started watching pac back in his fight with Barrera, I thought some of the more hardcore PAC fans on here might know but I guess not.
I tried lookin on youtube at his old fights when I seen this thread, but no info on who all ran his past corners.
No clue. I don't even think it's been mentioned on any broadcasts involvin Pac.

Buboy Fernandez?
I don't really know myself, I thought someone might be able to answer my question since am looking to find out more about how he end up with Roach but with all the PAC fans we have on here it seems like they don't even know themselves which goes to show alot.
