Marquez's Sparring Search Proves Tough For Mayweather

[Dempsey's Fan]

Realistically Mosley is the only real option, since Judah is signed with Mayweather, and Forbes is trained by the Mayweathers. In a perfect world I would say a combination of going rounds with Forbes and Mosley would acquaint Marquez with the Mayweather style, and also the speed and power of the 147 weight class. Judah could offer some good insight into Mayweather's style, and how he trains but he will never do so, so at this point going rounds with the athletic yet powerful Mosley is probably Marquez's best option...

Forbes fits the bill right. I don't think he would do it though unless lots of cash is involved.

Go spar with James Toney. Sure he is WAY bigger than Floyd but at least he can emulate Floyd's shoulder roll.

Not to mention, JMM will be sparring a much larger dude. Which will make the fighting a bigger dude curve alot smaller almost non existant.

James Toney wouldnt help, shoulder roll or no shoulder roll... Floyds too quick, so much quicker than Toney, it really wouldnt help... Completely different fighting style all together

foget judah hes a southpaw..

toney is a heavywaight ffs....he doest have one hundredth the speed Floyd does

guzman is a good option..
so is forbes
shane and burto a good options as they a fast & skilled welterweights
pauly malinaggi is a good pure boxer

but it wont eazy getting any of them

I always LOL at the mention of these huge names coming for sparring.

Forbes is a good choice but I doubt he does it based on his association with the Mayweathers

I know of two guys who could mimic Floyd well

Ask ODLH when he sparred with Mosley for the PBF fight if it was enough...there's no real sparring partner that can mimic PBF, because none of them can adapt through the fight, he can do any style he needs or wants: deffensive, boxer, potshotter, counterpuncher, mix them all up, etc...

That's why PBF is the best boxer now (Has to proove he's the same before retiring), maybe he's not the most enterntaining for many boxing fans...but surely is the most skilled and ring smart of all...

Style isn't the whole equation in a fight..., agree that styles make fights....but it may change through the fight.

Lamont Peterson would be nice sparring in prep for Floyd IMO.
