    Who would be the best sparring partner for Cotto for a Yuri fight?

    Would it be Quintana or Martinez? Or both or neither? Someone else? I think it might be Martinez since Martinez is way better then Yuri. I'm just wondering if Cotto could get Martinez as a sparring partner at 154. I'm sure it doesn't come cheap if they request him.

    Martinez is nothing like Foreman and tbh I got no idea who he would use. Not sure what guys in those weight classes fights like Foreman.

      How not? Yuri shows alot of movements and so does Quintana and Martinez. How is that not fighting similar if they all fight like boxers? None of the fighters I mention are brawlers. Yuri is not a brawler.

        Martinez might be a boxer but he and Yuri are not the same. He gives you angles but he likes to trade with his opponents (Yuri is a more safe boxer) He also drops his hands a lot and he invites his opponents to attack him(Something Yuri doesn't do) I don't see how Martinez gets him ready for Foreman at all. Malignaggi would be better but he fights two weight classes below Foreman.

          Maybe Malignaggi, he's a mobile guy who likes to counterpunch but he's a smaller guy and has a flashier style.

          Vanes Martirosyan could be a pretty good guy to use as well.

            Malignaggi has the style but isn't Yuri like 5''10 or something, and plus hes a 154 lber. Paulie doesn't have the size to be 100% effective.

                Martinez, Quintana and Malignaggi all could work.

                Also, a guy like Daniel Santos could actually work out well. Since it's sparring, Santos might be more willing to get his hands go and he atleast USED to be able to move around a bit.
