Why do you think Floyd doesn't allow taping of sparring?

[1&Only]

It's not an actual real DVD. I ordered some fights from a colleague who sells boxing dvds. They took forever to get to me so as a bonus he threw in an extra dvd with all of these training/sparring sessions on it.

dam, I see.

The same reason KFC and Coca-Cola don't just release their recipes. Trade secret.

Floyd is very adept at managing his image.

Here is a guy who was making big money before he was a big name. He is very good at keeping the shine on him.

Floyd always says that he fights for checks, not bragging rights. And keeping the mystery in his sparring techniques and methods keeps people wondering.

Plus, look at the way the haters have latched on to the Spaddy session for nearly ten years.

Nice to have you back.

A lot of fighters don't allow it. Roy Jones didn't either in his prime. Which reminds me, I was watching footage of a prime Barrera sparring the other day. Un...****ing...real. I say this now - you may not believe me (and it sure didn't translate to being better in the ring) - but Barrera's pad work was as good, if not better than Floyd's. Absolutely amazing.

Do you have a link to that?

Marco is one of my top 10 favorites of all time, and I've barely even watched the guy train.

Nevermind about that request, my man. I didn't see your original post about it being on one of your DVD's.

Floyd is not that good to begin with. Floyd needs secrecy in order to be good. .

Would you please explain the multiple National Golden Gloves and Olympic Medal?

Surely, there wasn't "secrecy" there....right?

i dont know but looking at this video plus paul fought at 147,140,and 135. Floyd looked a lot bigger than him. They are the same height and everything. floy look like he got 20 pounds on the guy

Why in the world would you ever want to give your opponent film to study? Silly.

It could also be mind games and of coarse not letting his opponents see what he's planning to do in there....

like the ho.oker from Hustle and Flow said "it keeps the tricks guessing"

[mathed]

Anyone have any idea why he doesn't allow any recording of him?

We've seen 39 of his fights...I don't know what he could be hiding from us...

Too many punches to the ribs that must get swept under the carpet b4 the media scoops up the story.
