    Ideal Sparring Partners Marquez could use for Floyd?

    Which fighters do you guys feel would be ideal sparring partners that could present the same kind of issues Floyd could bring against Marquez?

    I think Shane Mosley would be a nice choice.

    His style isn't anything like Floyd's, but he can emulate it pretty well as he did for Oscar.

      Joan Guzman would also be a good choice, though he's smaller than Floyd.

      But stylistically, they're similar.

        I was thinking Guzman as well. He has the speed and intelligence to trouble Marquez. Guzman aint doin **** anyway.

          Exactly.

          Guzman could really help him out a lot, if he would agree to it.

          But I doubt it. He's not really doing anything these days, and he turned down Judah for some ungodly reason.

          It's sad to see him piss away his chance to elevate himself.

          And what Guzman couldn't bring to the table. Mosley could ; size, and strength. To help get Marquez situated with fighting a bigger man.

              I dont think this fight will take place now that Pacman is going after Cotto.

              It obvious Arum is not putting Manny in with Floyd.

                Demarcus Corely,I do believe he's left handed,so I would guess if he does well against Corely,he'd be in top form for floyd!!

                    Forbes by far is the best one. You dont want to bring Guzman in. He's no sparring partner. He would be trying to whoop JMM in sparring
