What if Freddie Roach train Bobby Pacquiao??

Bobby might beat Buboy but he's no Manny. Manny didn't need Roach. He's just a loyal dude and that's what's been his downfall business wise. He stuck with Bob all those years even though he knew he was getting screwed. Without that loyalty we would have got May/Pac 3 years earlier.

Absolutely not. He is not even close to having the potential to be as good as Manny no matter who trains him. A good trainer helps but to be an all time great boxer it takes lots of natural born talents almost none are gifted with. Manny is one of those rare boxers gifted with incredible speed, power and reactions while is brother just has average talent.

Nah, sometimes one brother is just more talented than the other

Look at F1 driver Lewis Hamilton...

Wrong. Yes manny was fast and strong, but his true strength was his smarts.

He competed with ATG and beat/broke down them...MAB, JMM (even if you had Manny losing 4x he was in every fight including the 4th), Morales, DLH, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Bradley, Diaz, etc.

Manny was very smart, crafty, and clever. He didnt have the defensive prowess of Pernell or Floyd, but has a far more devastating puncher - and that's almost ALWAYS the result of knowing HOW and WHEN...intelligence.

I think manny is an awful politician, but the guy can fight

No, Bobby ******.

He actually had good punching power, but he was slower and didn't have the talent, reflexes or athletic ability Manny had.

Bobby just wasn't born to be a fighter like Manny was. If he was more focused and had a good trainer his whole career, he could have been a solid beltholder, but he still wouldn't have 1/10 the success that Manny had.
