Roach seem to always come up with excuses to why his fighter loss! He never takes any responsibility when his fighter takes a loss! Maybe if he teaches a little defense instead of all offense, it may help a little!

Manny needs to fire this leech

Roach the same guy that said Manny should retire if he loses to horn is now training him to lose again. If the fight doesnt go Pacs way Roach will make a laundry list of excuses excluding him. not to be rude but honestly wtf can roach do as a trainer? The man can hardly feed himself and the disease has began to attack his brain so his corner advice isnt all that accurate or helpful
I commend Pac for keeping him around but professional boxing his a business.

For being an elite fighter Pac has probably had some of the ****tiest sparring partners the last 5 years or so. Remember the guys roach hired for the Mayweather fight? lol it seemed like a joke. There's plenty of great durable guys that would kill to spar with a great like Manny and it would benefit both of them. Lately it just seems like they have Pac sparring with 130 -140 lbers that have zero experience at the top level

All the brothas were paid off. Seriously lol IDK why pacfans dont bring that up more. I thought it was pretty funny when I read about it. They resorted to a black MMA fighter and some Haitian/Canadian as sparring partners and still got info leaked.

I would bring in Maidana...

Pac stopped needing Freddy years ago. Ill give Freddie his credit he did help Pac in the beginning and helped him become more than just a one handed fighter but he did Pac a disservice by never helping him improve his defense. Freddies idea of a good defense is a good offense.

Why bring in small sparring partners to fight a big WW? Makes no sense.

Sometimes I wonder how Pacquiao made it to the level he did.
