bad sparring partner if training for mayweather. Im not sure there is a single aspect of floyd that he mimics. I like forbes though.

^^Yeah he does. Floyd Sr. used to be his trainer. Forbes is closer to Toney, but he uses the Philly shell like Floyd does, and he's crafty inside. That's why Hatton used him for the Castillo one.

Ricky must respect 2 Pound a lot. I'm pretty sure out of the three sparring partners he had last fight, Forbes is the only one who survived the whole camp.

all of that may HAVE BEEN true, but after seeing his contender fight none of it is. I didnt see much philly shell and the speed and infighting wasnt there.

I did not know that floyd sr used to be his trainer though, that knowledge at least could be helpful.
