    This is often overlooked. But for a several years Pacquiao has been trained by Roach a man with parkinsons.It's kinda remarkable.Roach has been great. But it's obvious that he is in latter stages and losing some mobility and timing. Pacquiao leaving Roach might benefit PACQUIAO. I am actually glad he left Roach.Sad to end the partnership but everything comes to end at some point.

    You make good points, but I'd still rather see Pacquiao work with an actual trainer and not his rotund BFF who though a childhood friend to the end, just isn't qualified to come up w/ strategies and in fight adjustments.

    Good point.

    But you failed to notice. Buboy has been in the game a long time. They have had a longer relationship than Roach.

    Being a friend and corner man all of Pac's fights since they were teens. I think Buboy knows more than you give him credit.

    Pacquiao's experienced enough to know what to do and has learn the moves roach taught him...There is nothing left to teach Pacquiao.

    Difference here is Buboy believe it or not is a more abled bodied trainer/mitt partner than Roach is at this stage.

    Road actually did not do much serious training, he hired Moorer to train peds a lot of the times. He was more of a theory crafted and a a mittholder

    Fact of the matter is: He did hire Moorer to train Peds.

    There's so much evidence of him using performance enhancers.

    This is a very dangerous way of thinking. There is always something to sharpen. And every opponent is different.
    Thinking you know it all can easily lead you to forgetting something. How about you dont commit to every jab? Maybe feint to the body? How about not backing straight back up(as he did with extensively with Horn)?

    There is always things to learn and relearn. To perfect.
