    Floyd's pulled the same things in the past, yet doesn't fight with that aggression in the ring. So who cares what he does to a sub par sparing partner? Just bring the fight on already.
    If you didn't see the sparring session, how do you know how much "aggression" there was? FMJ doesn't allow them to film the sparring. They are promoting a fight. They have to show SOMETHING. Right?

    Floyd bloodied a kid in sparring. Floyd bloodied his opponents in the ring. Period. It's over.

    Why is this such an emotional issue for you?

      Dude, message boards and emotions don't go together in my world LOL, I have a grip on acual life.

      My point is, people go crazy when they see something like a sparring partner with a bloody nose because of who did it. I've personally seen dudes in Boxing gyms get ****ed up, but then is that dude who did the beating this incredible fighter? The 24/7 is all a show for people to come on here and talk about how great this event is going to be and so forth. I just wan to see the fight already, the theatrics aren't swaying me in any way.

        Hatton was elite?

                What's funny is that if you went and asked a trainer:

                When's the last time a guy got bloodied in here? "yesterday"


                When's the last time you had to change the bladder on the speed bag? "A coupla months ago"

                Yet, nobody seemed to pick up on that... or at least harp on it. Also, i doubt that JMM gets a glass, sets it on the table, then goes into the bathroom, and walks back out into the gym to drink his pee from a nice highball.

                Drama. They're promoting a fight. I'm OK with the creative license.

                    the two guys that have been busted up and bloody aren't world class fighters.they're sparring partners.so, i wouldn't be suprised if he did beat the **** out of them in sparring.

                    it would be funny as **** if the secret mayweather was a tyson esque fighter though.
