Would Pacquiao Be As Successful Without Roach?

[BoxCleva]

I'm just watching the 3rd 24/7 a little late but there's a segment where Michael Koncz says Manny would have been "the best fighter in the world" without Roach. Do you think Manny would be as good without Roach, or is Roach a key factor behind Manny's success?

Roach, completely oblivious to what Koncz says, goes on to mention that Koncz ass-kisses Manny as much as possible.

The Koncz segment starts around 3:35 >

I doubt it but it also goes the other way around... Those of you who actually box know tha you have to be on the same level as your trainer to click

pacquiao would be no where near what he is today without roach.

roach wouldn't be as big as he is but he'd still have like 20 other champions.

I would say no. Pac and Roach have a connection a chemistry that is very special. That is why they have accomplished greatness. You need that chemistry with your trainer.

without pac, roach would be.....

As soon as i saw that i knew immediately Koncz didnt know jack about boxing.

hard to answer

[Bushidō]

I'm not sure but any trainer would have told him to work on his right hand so that he wasn't a one handed fighter. Then again Roach is great at finding Pacquiao's opponents weaknesses

[Alibata]

I voted that he wouldn't be as successful. Manny is as good as he is because of roach and vice versa.

[Easy-E]

No chance. He worked with Manny to improve his weakeness and become more than a one dimensional brawler with a good straight left hand.
Koncz is an idiot.
