    PAC battering sparring partners is deceiving.

    All these news and clips of PAC destroying his sparmates can do more harm than good for his May 02 tussle with Vicky.

    If you look up who these sparring partners are and the pics and videos that's out on cyberspace, every single one of 'em are between 130-135lb fighters(including Antillon) maybe even some 126lbers. I mean, they offer no resistance for PAC.

    Unlike his sparmates for his fight against De La Puta, who were very talented, ie Holloway and Amir Khan. I mean, there's an old saying in boxing "You're as good as your sparring partners" .

    When he battles Fatton, he's not gonna be steppin' up against a lanky Mexican kid who weighs less than him. They need to put him up against 147lbers, 'cause I'm tellin' ya, Fatton is d&mn strong 140lber.

    I just think it is going to be akward for pac...he hasn't fought anyone like rick - i can only imagine what comments aimed at hattons hugging/brawling style...but yes this is the strongest by far that pac has faced. it's going to be a good one.

      I agree. These "Pacquiao battering sparring his partners" articles are ridiculous.

            Pac has devestating power at 130 and lower...Like mini-tyson with the power.....but at 135 is just solid......and 147 it was non-exstitent and made oscar quit because he had no defense or offense...and after accumilation of 8 rounds oscar was done.......

            Pac power is outstanding 130 and lower, 135 solid....and i think at 140 and higher its non-existent.

                No they're not. The ones I've read about and seen on pics and video clips, and that includes Antillon.

                Antillon has never even fought at 140. Anyway, sparring partners are there to be battered, but the majority of these cats that PAC is throwing around are lil dudes, smaller than him, lol

                    Sparring is simply used to keep your instincts and skills in tact while being in an "In Fight" situation. Nobody really looks at is like "Well he KO'd that sparring partner, he's gonna kill Hatton!!". That's silly. Sparring doesn't determine a fighter of Pac or even Hatton's level as they have been in there with top fighters. It's exercise more than anything. Of course they try to find sparring partners that will some what resemble what they'll be facing fight night, but in the end its "In Ring Exercise" and helps with building stamina for a 12 round fight.
