    I remember Pacquiao and his team came to the US to find a trainer. They started in the east coast and worked their way west. Nobody was interested in Pacquiao untill Freddie Roach saw him. My question is who did Pacquiao encounter when he was working his way west. Did he ran into Mcgrit, Steward, or any of the famous trainers?

    It'd be funny if ran into Floyd Sr, and he like "This dude's a joke."

    When Pac wallked in the gym, Floyd walked Pac from the front of the gym to the back door leading him to the alley.

    Floyd sr. is an enigma. A riddle wrapped in a mystery. How can someone so knowledgable be such a jackass?

    Without Roach Pac would probably still be a 1 handed fighter today. So its not certain that he'd be this great. Probably just another asian flash in the pan that nobody outside hard core boxing fans remember.

    Roach needed Pac. If pac wouldve got FM Sr as a trainer he wouldve been a more lethal two fisted defensive master assassin.
