There's really noone out there i can think of that fights quite like Mayweather or would be able to emulate Mayweather's style well enough to help Pacquiao train properly. Even if they were able to...Mayweather's reach is deceptively long so Pacquiao could be gauging a specific distance all training camp and have a hard time adjusting during the actual fight. What do you guys think??
Who could Roach hire as sparring partners for a Mayweather fight??

Mosley did a good impersonation a year ago for De La Hoya.
Honestly.....and dont laugh, Khan may well be a good sparring partner as preparation for Floyd. Hes Orthodox, fast and hard punching, his combinations are good. Granted his chin isn't amazing and his defence is no where near as good as Floyd's but hell I think Khan would be of benefit.
Also, and although he is of a lower weight division, Joan Guzman does a pretty good take on the Mayweather style!Comment

Roy Jones JR, got somewhat same tricky style.
He's old and slower now, obvious in the J. Calzaghe fight, but would be good enough for sparring. B-hopkins is not bad either, for a sparring session, especially if he goes back to his old style, where he didnt throw too many punches, but was standing and waiting and then throw 1-2 went back and then stand for another while and then throw 1-2...Last edited by southpaw_07; 12-09-2008, 05:28 PM.Comment
