    What a joke..Floyd would destroy that journeyman.
    You mean an out of shape Peterson manhandling an in-shape, way more experienced Floyd preparing for a major fight.

        I understand you're a Floyd fan, i am to. but don't discredit Peterson. He is no journeyman, he is the truth. Those brothers are the future. They are both hungry, skilled, and humble outside the ring.

          This type of thing is good for Floyd. They don't like to see him seem vulnerable at all. That has to be why they show no sparring. Fighters should be tested in camp like that I think. 18 ounce gloves though, that's a big ass glove to spar with.

              Co-sign. With no video proof it means nothing. For all we know they had an intense game of scrabble while drinking rootbeer floats.

                This is interesting. The best fighters don't always look great in sparring, though. A lot of the time, they keep it dialed back. Mayweather would murk Peterson in a real fight, no disrespect to Lamont.

                    Co-sign. Peterson was probably going into the sparring session with the intention to hurt Mayweather. While Mayweather was probably going into it just looking to work on a certain part of his game.
