Any chance Freddie Roach would be "Freddie Roach" if not for Manny Pacquiao?

[klipsch speaker]

NSB? What would have been if he hasn't trained Manny?

[Born2Live]

See Roach did brilliant at the start of Pacquiao's career but not sure how he get's so much praise when Pacquaio hardly sticks to his game plans.

[Deeznuts]

If it wasn't for his parents his name would be different I suppose

[Carpe Diem]

Roach is a good trainer, but he's overrated imo. He looks more like a great matchmaker than a trainer.

[UglyPug]

No. He would have continued to have a hall of fame training career (probably), and would have helped a few fighters enjoy successful careers. He would have made some decent loot, and still made the Wild Card a pretty popular gym.

but absolutely no way he would be THE freddie roach without the one known as PACSMASH

He's a popular trainer. He trains boxers and MMA'ers.

He's more popular than anything else, Pacquiao made him very popular imo. Good matchmaker too. He's a smart trainer because he knows who you should be fighting and who your style is better against.

Most of the times, he will try to avoid challenging fights to make himself and his fighter look good.

Any chance angelo dundee would be angelo dundee without ali?

Emmanuel steward without hearns?
D'amato without tyson?

Because that's what youre saying.

This right here nails it.

Then the world would be...

Roach-less!
