I actually heard the opposite from Freddie Roach, here is what he had to say to me.
"Early in the camp, we used him for Pacquiao. Even though he's a southpaw and we were getting ready for an orthodox, I just wanted some hard work for Pacquiao," Roach said. "They went at it toe-to-toe. Manny was a little too experienced for him at the end of the day, but people would pay to see that sparring session."
