Who could Roach hire as sparring partners for a Mayweather fight??

Bernard Hopkins, I know he is bigger but he is one of the best defensive fighters in this sport... In my opinion even better then Floyd. Though floyd is great at throwing his head with punches. :lol1::lol1:

Plain and simple. If Manny wants to know Floyd more, he needs to spar Floyd. Ain't nobody else like him.

he might want to talk to james toney...he knows a thing or two about the shoulder roll they could even pay him with krispy kreme doughnuts

LOL at all the big names who are listed I doubt any of them would be willing to spar with Manny given their status in all honesty one of the best Mayweather impersonations I have seen was a kid Said Al Harack who was sent to the UK to prep Hatton for his fight. Mike Dallas Jr could impersonate Floyd pretty well and was in Mannys camp this fight solely for speed purposes

Roy Jones JR, got somewhat same tricky style. He's old and slower now, obvious in the J. Calzaghe fight, but would be good enough for sparring. B-hopkins is not bad either, for a sparring session, especially if he goes back to his old style, where he didnt throw too many punches, but was standing and waiting and then throw 1-2 went back and then stand for another while and then throw 1-2... Yea and I'm sure the great RJJ would take a position as a sparring partner to a 5'6 fillipino superstar.:chairshot

a sealed vault as a sparring partner???:wtf: Probably would throw more punches than De La Hoya at least.

A sealed vault would be more appropriate because he's gonna have to be doing some thinking to crack Mayweathers defence. a sealed vault as a sparring partner???:wtf:

Paulie Malignaggi, slick and defensive. Forbes is a good one as well

Johnny Five, good call. But not the one from Short Circuit 2, he didn't have the lazer!

Judah in speed and style i guess although someone else for the defence

Johnny Five

Ha my post crossed with a couple of other wily campaigners Delipooke and Mr 1979! Good call guys!

Mosley did a good impersonation a year ago for De La Hoya. Honestly.....and dont laugh, Khan may well be a good sparring partner as preparation for Floyd. Hes Orthodox, fast and hard punching, his combinations are good. Granted his chin isn't amazing and his defence is no where near as good as Floyd's but hell I think Khan would be of benefit. Also, and although he is of a lower weight division, Joan Guzman does a pretty good take on the Mayweather style!

Steve Forbes? Joan Guzman might be ok but he might not want to do it.

Shane Mosley.
