    Floyd using Ndou and Baldomir as sparring partners. WTF?

    JM: Who are some of Floyd’s sparring partners been?

    LE: Oh, well we have been working with two former world champions in Lovemore N’dou and Carlos Baldomir along with some other great young fighters. Camp has been going real well.


    What the hell do these 2 guys have in common with Hatton? I just dont see how Floyd is suppose to prepare for the ferocious, come at you style that Hatton has, by sparring with these 2 guys.

    Working on his advantages, not Hatton's weaknesses.

        I bet you would have an answer in the defense of Floyd nomatter WHO he was using as a sparring partner. Right?

        This wasnt a hate/bash thread. I just found it weird that he would use these to particular fighters for sparring partners.

          do you realize that there aren't really any guys out there LIKE Hatton...?

          Mosley is nothing like Floyd, yet Oscar used Mosley to prepare for Floyd...because only a select few guys around their weight class can match Floyd's speed

          it is not always about finding a mirror image of your opponent...but finding guys that exhibit qualities (come forward, throw a lot of punches, good chin, strength, body punching, experience, persistant) that your opponent may have...whether 10 qualities or 1...

          what makes guys special is that they are different...so good luck finding an exact replica of your forbiddable opponent around your weight class...

          ask Hatton who HE has to prepare for Floyd....the closest you can come up with is probably Guzman...

            Hatton has already stated that he will coming in on fight night weighing around 143-144. Floyd will be the heavier fighter on fight night.

              well we don't even know that either...Floyd was 148 for a 154lb fight vs Oscar...he could easily enter the ring at 144 himself for Hatton

              though it wouldn't surprise me for him to enter at 144...it wouldn't surprise me for him to enter at 147 or even 150...

                And Mosley is/was one of them. I could fully understand Oscar's reason for using Mosley to prepare for the Floyd fight.

                  Ok. I'll answer how you want me to.

                  "WTF!? Why is he using those punks ass sparring partners!?
                  No way is he going to be able to live with Ricky by using those guys as sparring partners!
                  Oh ****! Floyd is in deep trouble.
                  Poor judgment by his camp."

                    Floyd came in light for the Oscar fight because he wanted to keep his speed. Speed is Floyd's #1 weapon. Hatton is a natural 140lb'er. He found that out when he ballooned up to 150-something to fight Collazo.
