Who is the more important component in Pacquiao's team - Freddie Roach or Alex Ariza?

[whirlwind]

Pacquiao loves every member of his team and wants to keep it intact. As long as you don't leave him he will take care everyone. I think Pacquiao has more than 20 men following him around everytime he has a fight. Now I think Roach is like a father to Pacquiao and Ariza as brother/friend.

Good points and interesting to see that the poll is pretty even right now.

Are we talking Roach or Ariza?

He hired an alchemist?

Even though Roach didn't give any good advice during the third fight with Marquez I am still going to say Roach is WAY more important that Ariza

[Jack Napier]

Ariza is a hanger on
Roach is the actual instructor
Pac's not going up in weight anymore
he doesn't need a nutrionist/strength/conditioning coach

Athletes always benefit from great nutritionists and conditioning coaches, but yeah, Ariza can be substituted. Freddie knows Manny inside out and without that relationship I'm not sure either of them would stay in boxing.

True, but it usually takes time for a conditioning coach to learn the best methods to use for each individual fighter, in the same way it takes time for the trainer to see which tactics work best for his fighter.
