Manny Pacquiao has the perfect sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather

boxasmash16y ago

Amir Khan, he has more handspeed than Floyd is about the size height and reach as him too. Just get Khan to fight like Mayweather.

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/01BleOr8bYgHC/340x.jpg That is the perfect sparring partner for Manny to train for Floyd. http://www.memphisboxing.com/images/porter_hammac_2554.jpg And this is the perfect sparring partner to train for Cotto

I think USAIN BOLT would be better. I think Cotto would be better. Just ask him to fight like he did vs Mosley, Tony and Clottey :boxing::boxing:

16y ago

yea GREAT IDEA...because it makes a lot of sense to look past Cotto!

16y ago

oh so hire judah just so floyd can't hire him? i don't think that'll work nor needed. zab is under mayweather promotions i thought. unless he left. Haha, yeah I don't think that'd work either...think the dude was just joking though!

16y ago

Accuracy is godawful. Never seen someone throw THAT much and hit nothing. You've only seen one fight of his? Kotelnik is hard to hit clean.

16y ago

zab judah is a southpaw. he's also shorter , has a shorter reach and smaller than floyd. zab judah would be a good sparring partner to train floyd against pac not the other way around. I think thats what he means.... If Pacquiao hires Judah....Floyd can't.

Doctor_Tenma4618

i was gonna say that too... Accuracy is godawful. Never seen someone throw THAT much and hit nothing.

16y ago

May be pacman should get The flash to sparr with him...LOL

16y ago

Doctor_Tenma4618

Khan is seriously lacking in the accuracy department.

16y ago

Hell no... The PERFECT sparring partner for Manny is Zab Judah. If Manny gets Judah as a sparring partner, Mayweather has no chance.

16y ago

he doesn't mean make khan like mayweather. just spar like him to prepare pacquiao. jesus. It was a joke!!! jesus!

16y ago

Khan has fast hands, that's the only similarity. Khan fights nothing like Mayweather and is 100x easier to hit.

16y ago

Amir Khan, he has more handspeed than Floyd is about the size height and reach as him too. Just get Khan to fight like Mayweather. You make it sound so easy!!!

16y ago

Khan does not have the same quickness as Floyd... i agree with Flawless, Bradley would probably be better

16y ago

Amir Khan, he has more handspeed than Floyd is about the size height and reach as him too. Just get Khan to fight like Mayweather. While I agree Khan would be a good in house sparring partner, I don't agree with your hand speed assertion. Honestly, I think Lamont Peterson would be the perfect sparring partner for Pac to prepare for Mayweather.
