Floyd using Ndou and Baldomir as sparring partners. WTF?

[Easy-E]

Same goes for Hatton.

Hatton has titles in 5 weight classes?

[Easy-E]

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.

How is using former world champions as sparring partners weird?
The only way its unusual because in most cases, fighters who compete for titles rarley, rarley spar with each other.

exactly...to me natural is when a person is eating healthy and keeping in shape...if that were Hatton between fights or is he wasn't boxing...I'd say his natural weight would be in the 140-150lb range while 140-145 is like his "in peak condition" weight

Ricky Hattons natural weight is 175 pounds.

Ricky Hattons natural weight is 175 pounds.

No, that's his weight when he eats **** and drinks too much Guinness.

[Rane-Ex54]

No, that's his weight when he eats **** and drinks too much Guinness.

haha which means its his natural weight. If he wasn't boxing thats were he would be at consistently... Not boxing natural wieght, but life natural weight

You don't get to be 38-0 with world titles in five weight classes by not knowing who to spar with. Mayweather obviously has his own formula for success and it's suited him well enough so far.

A 38-0 record with world titles in 5 weight classes doesn't come from all the ball licking you so proudly perform either. The OP wants to discuss Floyds selection in sparring partners it's not like he is forbidden due to a 38-0 record or however many world titles.

Yes, he does want to discuss the sparring partners. I think that using Baldi and N'Dou to prepare yourself for a pressure fighter is just what's needed for Mayweather. He can work on his timing and taking steps (a step back, a step to the side, whatever) and throwing a punch at the same time. That's what he'll need to do against Ricky. He can also practice his infighting, a very needed thing when fighting Hatton.

No, his natural weight would be when he eats normally and does not binge.

Floyds sparring choices are pretty good imo, championship level and durable. The closest sparring partners for Hatton would have been Mosley, Judah or Witter, although as there are potential fights between them in the near future, I guess it didn't happen. Any of these 3 fighters could match Floyd for speed and power (in short bursts), but not necessarily for smarts.

Baldomir is better than Hatton so whats the point of this thread? Baldomir is the guy Hatton wanted no part of, dont yall remember that? Sparring with much bigger guys is smart, plus the sparring partners are there to help, so they can emulate the styles of others, and im guessing Hatton's isnt hard to do.
