Comments Thread For: Bradley, Berto, Khan: Roach Eyes Pacquiao's Army

[knockoutQ]

all roads lead to mosley. Shane is the man at ww.

at least shane convinced one person to believe that

The problem there is that none of the above are anywhere near Mayweather's level. Sure, one or the other may do one thing better than Floyd but none have the complete package that can be emulated so easily. Ask Marquez. Simple as that.

But, I suppose he has to have good sparring and those guys represent a good, tough lineup.

Yea, Dan Rafael. Who is a little more qualified than yourself.

I hope they all spar with each other. It'd be cool to see some footage of Bradley Khan and the like. Not just Pacquiao vs __________

i'm not sure bradley and khan will get in the ring together... roach probably wants timmeh to go to bagiuao and finish up w/ khan in WCG.

Good line of sparring partners, none of them can emulate Mayweather's counter and defense ability, but they are all very quick. Berto has a pretty good right hand too, so Pacquiao can at least prepare for that.

Too bad for Roach Bradley isnt ****** enough to go spar for a guy he might face in the future (Manny) or for a coach who's training a guy he certainly will face in the future (Khan) and same goes for Berto who might do it just to get good sparring for Mosley but his camp is in Miami which he never leaves, I doubt he will come to LA just for Manny...also consider Manny's camp will be 5 weeks in Philipines first

Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach is trying to put together a dream team of sparring partners for the big fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13. Roach wants to recruit quick-fisted boxers with boxing ability to assist Pacquiao with his first defense of the WBO welterweight title. Last week Roach mentioned WBA junior welterweight Amir Khan as a sure sparring partner to help them in camp. If Andre Berto doesn't get injured in his January unification with Shane Mosley, Roach would like to add him to camp. During a conversation with philboxing.com, Roach added WBC junior welteweight champion Timothy Bradley on the sparring partner list. [Click Here To Read More]

Bradley would be a sparring of luxe,but,because Bradley would be a great come back option for Manny if he loses to Floyd,and because Bradley fought at a total different pace,he's not a sparring I would pick.

I like Berto,cuz he might be the only fighter at 147 that his faster than Floyd.Berto throw ****in lazer shots when he doesn't gas out.

But Berto was garbage against Collazo,a southpaw himself.So Berto isn't the ideal sparring.
Berto would be easy to hit for Manny.Unlike Floyd will.

Sparring with a fighter fast as Berto,maybe faster and stronger than Floyd,is still a good stuff.

I don't know why Roach is sleeping on GUZMAN.
Guzman lost to a freak of nature,****in 6.1 Funeka throwin punches like a machin,it means nothing,style make fights,and I have Guzman givin a lot of NEWS PROBLEMS to Manny in sparring sessions.

If I was fightin PBF,I would pick Berto for the size and athleticity,and Guzman for the style.

Khan is a good sparring cuz with his reach,speed and accuracy,he ain't easy to box tough he has a marmelade jaw,it's not a big issue with 16,18 oz gloves.

honestly I don't think bradley will be pac's sparring partner as roach is the trainer of khan, bradley's future rival at 140 lbs.

[Sox8055]

Good picks.

Bradley, has an incredible work ethic on fighting in the inside, something which Floyd does refered to as "in the pocket"

Khan, very fast on his feet and hands.

As for Berto? fast right hand, jab, left hook, fast feet, and clinching.

Good picks by Roach.

[shadeyfizzle]

So what was all the jive about Pacquiao ducking Bradley??? Im sure if pac was ducking bradley he wouldnt wanna spar with him and Bradley wouldnt wanna jeopardize a potential huge payday for himself either.
