      I don't think these guys will help Pacquiao. They're completely different than Mayweather.

        Carbon copies with less natural talent and athleticsm and smarts.

        They can copy Floyd to the "T".......

        Bu Roach picks a VOLUME puncher like Bradley to emulate a guy who doesnt even want to throw punches..........

        And Khan a glass chinned up and comer..who he wont let Pac hurt........

        ******.
        Bradley isn't a volume puncher.

        He is more of a boxer/puncher.

          He's very active and often out hustles his opponents. Floyd does not out hustle, he out smarts.

          Completely different.

            What can Pac do that Floyd hasn't seen?

            And Pac hasn't seen anyone who is remotely close to Mayweather. Pacquiao sparring partners aren't horrible, but none will help him like people think. I think Bradley is better for sparring than Khan. Khan has been around as a sparring partners for some time now. He won't be doing anything that Manny isn't use to. Roach is the more nervous than anyone (fans, team Mayweather, team Pacquiao).

              Khan and Bradley...

              First off Khan isnt even going to give Pac any work..because Roach wot want Pac to hurt him...and Bradley is a a guy who NEVER stops throwing punches.....Floyd is a guy who RARELY throws punches.

              Roach is a grade A Dip**** ******.

              Has he ever heard of Forbes or Guzman.
              they can put 22oz gloves on pac if they want too, him hurting khan wont be an issue. bradley is a guy who is very fast, has plenty of skills and above all else is a world class fighter. getting in work with him is always good no matter who u are fighting. and bradley is smart and versetaille enough a fighter to do a pretty good job of imitating floyd im sure.

              eighter way both forbes and guzman are trained by floyd sr, who is tighter than ever with jr. no way in hell they are gonna help pac prepare for floyd. use your brain dude.. if they can switch they might do some sparring with money if anything.

                WTF? Khan is one of the fastest boxers in the sport. It's a logical selection.

                  Bradley reminds me of Azumah Nelson a lot. Anyway, I think Roach is doing an excellent job picking sparring partners. And I like the Bradley choice.

                    Freddie faces, pretty much to a T, the same dilemma that trainers of Floyd's past opponents have faced. Trying to find the right sparring partners that can imitate Floyd.

                    What they all seemingly fail to realize is that Floyd has attributes and intangible gifts that none of those sparring partners can ever emulate.

                    Oh, they can come close. But you can't teach a fighter to develop the intangibles that Floyd possesses. Things like intelligence, ring smarts, and wit.

                    Gotta give Freddie credit, though. He's got a great pupil in Manny who listens to his trainer and is disciplined, and works hard at his craft.

                    Freddie has been down this path before with Oscar, so he'll also be putting up his credentials against Roger on the big night.

                    It's going to be a hell of a night.
