Comments Thread For: Roach Will Try To Get Berto For Pacquiao Sparring

[DC Fight Fan]

Calderun would be nice also.

This is a joke right?

Other than Berto's great speed and pretty decent strength, he has little semblance to Mayweather. He is not slick and he can't fight on the inside, all he does similar is that he pot shots constantly. Khan will already bring all that and Amir's faster too.

This is just a pipe dream anyway. Berto won't be in much condition for sparring after he gets abused by Shane.

good to see someone else noticed

[TOBYLEE1]

More than likely is for the speed that Berto and Khan can provide so Manny can see the punches comming and time himself with speed.

I dont see a resemblance at all with Berto and Mayweather except for their skin lol. Should try to get Zab Judah, and a good defensive fighter.

Why would Pacquiao try and get Zab Judah as a sparring partner. You realise that Zab is a southpaw fighter right?

[MoneyLarry]

i can't be mad at that having berto will be good for pacquiao regradless

[IronFistKilla]

Sam, I still think your gonna need a strong guy who can clinch.

Dominicano,

do you mean clinching or inside fighting? They are two different things. Please clarify.

Berto is a good choice. Steve Forbes or Juan Guzman would certainly benefit his preperation. Vey curious as to who Floyd will choose??...

[Calilloyd]

Ya but who has quicker hands?

Judah is a southpaw. That would make no sense.

[Calilloyd]

The difference is Marquez counters with combos. Unless Floyd does the same I don't see it being easy. Throwing one or two potshots won't cut it.

That's a myth. Mayweather does not just throw one or two punches. He throws plenty of 1-2's and works the body.

Yeah Guzman would be better than Berto, but hey, the more the merrier. Malignaggi wouldn't bet that bad either for Pac.

For Floyd, that's a tough one. Judah is the only southpaw around that weight with Pac's handspeed, but Floyd already has adequate sparring with him.
