      Buboy in Manny's corner is the equivalent of Leonorad Elllerbe minus the rubbing of Vicks vapor rub on Manny's chest.

        Buboy has been in Pac's corner from day 1. You can't say that about Roach.

          You are right but that does not make him a trainer, it takes more than mitt work and jumping jacks, Roach has experience buboy does not. I have always liked pacquiao and not one person here thinks he is doing it for buboy, he is just trying to save Roach's fee. As much as I hate to say it, I am sure Mayweather is laughing that Pacquiao is fighting Matthyse for a small amount while he fought connor for millions.

              Roach is hoping like hell that Pacman looks horrible against Lucas or gets knocked out cold, because if Pacman destroys or out boxes Lucas with ease then all the trainers like Mayweather Sr, Diaz, Garcia, Funez, etc who said Pacquiao trains himself and was already a champion before Roach will be justified.

              This is a fight where Roach hopes Pacman loses if Pac wins Roachs credibility as a trainer will suffer, imagine if Pac looks better against lucas than Horn and Vargas? That means Roach didnt teach Pac jack ****.

                Roach has done a lot for Pac, but at this point in Pac's career. Roach is the one riding in Pac's back and fame. Pac's wisdom in boxing surpassing Roach at this stage. Roach wasn't a great fighter. Manny is.

                    Manny understand Buboy more because he speaks Tagalog at the corner, he has a problem with English unless being memorized he he he.
