Perfect sparring partners for Mayweather? for Pacquiao?

[lyricalether]

Cory Spinks is a southpaw and Berto fights nothing like Mayweather. Neither fighters do.

i always see spinks switching. He can fight on that side just as good as his natural side

[Calilloyd]

berto does fight like floyd.......defensive first kinda fighter who throws mininmal power punches.........floyd's more accomplished for sure...

No he doesn't. That's not even arguable. Even Mosley said Berto reminds him of a young Shane Mosley. Berto throws "minimal power" power shots? Hvae you ever seen him fight?

I think Berto fights more like Pacquiao. He's more offensive minded than defensive minded.

Pacquiao could use Berto or Mosley because I hear Mosley is real good at emulating fighter's styles. Mayweather needs Valero or Judah. Valero is to me the closet your gonna get to a next Pacquiao in the future if he can hook up with Roach. Judah fights in really small spurts and isn't as aggressive, but his speed and southpaw style would help.

I also feel, once they figure out the plan of attack for Mayweather's shoulder roll, it's game over. That to me is all Mayweather has when we talk about his defense. I don't see him use his legs all that much in an elusive manner the way Sweet Pea did. That guy to me is THE defensive master.

floyd: valero (for power and angles), judah (for speed),

He has more than that. He slips and blocks punches and is as elusive as any fighter I've ever seen. The only other fighter who did that as well in my generation was Whitaker. He has more than the shoulder roll for his defense.

The only people who say that are the many people here who don't know boxing and focus on one fighter. Their opinions mean nothing to me. Berto throws a lot of power shots and the fact that you are using only two fights as an example proves my point. And Berto threw plenty of power shots against Collazo. I don't know what fight you were watching but it wasn't that one.

Guzman - Defense
Khan - Speed
Berto - because he's big and he clinches

I definately agree with this...
