    i heard Cotto's camp sent one of his sparring partners home already now he's left with two bums one who's 36

    i think there is debatable preperation from both fighters they could never ever beat Mayweather training like that

      JLC is washed up but he was by far one of the best body punchers when he was the man. I guess it's hard to find good sparring partners that emulate your opponent. Like why did Cotto use El Gato? Gato aint all that but he is a southpaw for one (I know they let him go) But who the hell do you hire that can emulate the demon posed Gremlin that is Manny Pacquaio.? You just have to find and work with what you can get.

        sparring is about positioning, emulation and getting different looks. Thats it. Some guys are brought in as a comination of the 3 or maybe one of the three.

            Well, Castillo has been weight-drained in the past. So, Roach wanted to make Pacquiao feel at home by fighting another weight-drained opponent.

              And they may actually be serious. Roach does and get away with some crazy actions and comments/answers.

                Which is ballsier, Pac fighting Cotto at 145, or Floyd retiring rather than fight the only guy people wanted to see him fight, Cotto?

                Remember, despite your prior claims to the contrary, Pac is actually smaller than Floyd.

                  Floyd retiring.

                    CASTILLO is past his prime but he is for damn sure good sparring partner.
