    anyone notice mayweather doesn't spar against quality partners

    kofi jantuah is his top guy

    he sent some other unknown home bloody on 24/7. a guy as good as mayweather should have guys like mosely working with him, or even dlh.


    foreman got great sparring with liston.

    maybe thats why mayweather just aint great yet in alot of people's eyes, although I consider him great.

    Defeatnig Calzaghe or Hopkins would make him a legend though.

      I was watching Mayweather Vs. Judah and Lampley said during that fight that he was sparring with Demarcus Corley ( just to name one)

          yeah over the years i've noticed that floyds ring help wasn't the best out there but in reality it looks like floyd doesn't need to have world beaters in his camp, he keeps getting the wins with what he's doing, why change what aint broke???

              exactly. If it's been working for him why change. He's 38-0 and it hasn't seemed to hamper him much not having big name sparring partners.

                  Ill ignore the bottom bit, lmao.

                  On sparring partners: Does it make sense to spar with a world class fighter when you are not fully fit and prepared?

                  Thats not good for confidence, most fighters dont spar with great partners as far as i know.
