Zab Judah starts sparring with Mayweather on Monday

To those saying Judah is nothing like Pacquiao. True. But Pacquiao won't spar anybody like Mayweather either. You can get fighters to try and mimic their styles a little but they won't have their brains. These 2 are elite for a reason and at the top of the sport. You can't really emulate them no matter how hard you try. Both of these guys are unique and it's impossible to really prepare for either guy. That's why this is an intriguing fight for the neutrals and non-fanboys like myself. Good post. I think it's a good pick by Floyd. Like BN said no one is exactly like the other fighter, but Zab does throw a fast straight left and by the time camp is done you best believe Floyd ain't getting hit by it. Both guys are going to have to cover all their bases preparing for this fight.

Gesta is way too small and he isn't even good enough at what he does best to prepare Mayweather for what Pacquiao does. Plus I highly doubt he's gonna help Mayweather prepare against another Filipino. THE Filipino. Basically....

Nobody fights like Pac just like nobody fights like Floyd. The best either guy can do is prepare for a high pace fight.

Good move by floyd. Judah is one the fastest southpaw out there besides pac. However judah is not going to prepare mayweather with pac's aggression and activity, Judah's shot and can't pull the trigger nowadays.

What's ironic is that Pacquiao fans always use the Zab fight as a measure of how Pacquiao will do against Floyd. You just admitted that the two are nothing alike. Zab is more technical while Manny is more awkward/aggressive. I thought that was interesting as well. 1st 4 rounds of zab v Floyd-proof Manny will win. Use zab to spar to get ready-zab is nothing like Manny, Floyd is desperate. LMFAO!!

LOL, Arum should pay Judah to stay home. Judah fights nothing like Pac anyway. What's ironic is that Pacquiao fans always use the Zab fight as a measure of how Pacquiao will do against Floyd.

Zab is like the stock lefty to Floyd, he is pretty much the lefty that knows Floyd's tricks best and how Zab's left handedness helps with that.

pacquiao only throws more punches than zab,but at ww zabs left is faster and harder than pacquiao's. this is great work for mayweather. i meant with movement, footwork and his awkward in and out style they are nothing alike. Speed wise havnt really looked at Zab recently, Pacquiao looked pretty fast, hand speed wise in his last fight. Gonna be a good fight man can't wait to c it play out

Floyd is going all out to prepare for this fight, hes's not taking pac lightly. Zab is nothing like pac but he can help him c left hands better i guess pacquiao only throws more punches than zab,but at ww zabs left is faster and harder than pacquiao's. this is great work for mayweather.

It's a good move for Floyd. But it only proves what Roger, Floyd Sr, and Floyd Jr saying that Pac was going to be an easiest fight was bullchit. If it was so easy then why use someone like zab Judah for sparring. They should use mercito gesta as a sparring partner. He is the closest person to emulate pacs style since he's a southpaw and his straight left and pivot to the right is almost identical. no fight is easy you idiot. they say stuff like that to keep the press and fans honest. it makes good news and debates. floyd still whoops pac though

Floyd is going all out to prepare for this fight, hes's not taking pac lightly. Zab is nothing like pac but he can help him c left hands better i guess And right hooks. Zab throws a pretty good right hook. And Manny throws a better one.

Floyd's also got Pac's brother Bobby Reflay on deck to hang around ring when Floyd's training. Adds to the realism.

So who you pick to spar with in 2015 disproves some harmless trashtalk said in 2009.

wait... hold up.... what size of gloves is Judah going to wear for this sparring? is Judah going to get paid more so he won't hurt floyd? what size is the ring? is Judah allowed to hurt Floyd? Yeah for real...also I thought they didn't like Judah since that brawl.

Lol, Mayweather getting all the help he can, he had a lil troubles with some of these guys he recognizes Manny might be tough

They can block and payoff Pac's sparmates, hire all the lefties they want. But on May 2nd they will remember Algieri's words "He's (Pacquiao) the best at being Manny Pacquiao." Best lefty in boxing history. He'll start feeling sorry for himself once Judah unleashes on him in sparring.
