Can't get much better than that for DeGale. Interesting that Mayweather would spar with him though, he's a super middleweight and fights nothing like JMM.

Yeah... Floyd has a history of sparring with unconventional partners.

Daniel Edouard, Kofi Jantuah, etc. Remember, PBF used Baldomir as the main partner for Hatton. Baldo is a big, slow guy. Who can't emulate Ricky's footwork.

James DeGale will fly to Las Vegas today to spend two weeks sparring with Floyd Mayweather Junior.

The 2008 Olympic champion, who has a perfect 3-0 record since turning professional with Frank Warren, will work extensively with the world's P4P number one over the next fortnight.

This is great for James,I hope it improves him as a fighter

Can't wait to see Barry's reaction.

Good for DeGale, he'll get some much needed experience. I hope I can find videos of him sparring Floyd. But I heard those videos never get shown to the public?

Usually not, Floyd usually has the cameras turned off for sparring... once in awhile you get a lil 15 seconds of footage, but Ive seen it to be rare.

Shame.

Would love to see how well DeGale copes with Floyd's style.

DeGale is a 6ft 168 lbs southpaw, what the hell is Floyd playing at?
