    This was Manny 12 years ago before Freddie Roach. He was raw and gangling teenager. He lacked the skills but had the heart to win. Who would even thought that he could become the best figher pound for pound in the world today?

    soriano do you credit freddie roach with being the reason pac is as good as he is now or do you just think its his natural progession?or a bit of both?just want a pac fans perspective.

    You should change that to 'In my opinion he is not' because the fact is he is the official Pound 4 Pound number 1.

    Sorry about that.

    I remember this, I've always wondered if the 1st KD was caused by an accidental headbutt...

    I think it is both. Pac has the natural talent, athleticism, and willingness to learn which have been nurtured and developed through the years with the help of his trainer Roach and conditioning coaches.
