      Nooned can emulate pac, noone can emulate floyd. Both will be unexpecting of each others ability.

      Sparring is just practice man.

      It doesnt matter that Floyd already beat Judah. When you fight a southpaw you gonna practice against southpaws. Judah is fast, has the same stance, and very very good power on top of that. If he is professional about it he can be great prep for Floyd.

      By your logic, since no one can emulate Pac or Floyd, they should just avoid any sparring altogether?

        Both fighters will struggle to find people. I mean Roach could have some more defensive fighters like guzman to atleast test Pac and how he deals with movement. Perhaps Roach will teach the sparring partners the habits and style that he has seen Floys use. I know that no one can naturally be as athletic, but Roach had chosen some fast guys that can throw decent shots. Berto, Bradl;ey and Khan are all damn fast and if they can emulate the style, which I'm sure they can in sparring being the pro's that they are.

        Judah is damn fast and has pop. He can certainly sharpen Mayweather's defence and get him sharp. He's a good fighter.

        The question is, how good can they emulate each other?

        Judah isn't sharp and accurate as Manny, has the angles or workrate.

        Berto, Bradley and Khan don't fight defnesivly at all. They can never be as good as mayweather in the movement and reactions. Perhaps Bradley can get the closest.

            Ghana body fight! Haha
            good point. thats the reason why i dont see pac pulling it off. marquez gave him problems not because of his speed but his counter punching. floyd is the master of fast counter punching so pac will get ate up if he comes in like he does his previous opponents. they will have to change up their plan completely for pac to succeed. but that will be hard because for so long that type of fighting has worked for pac. i dont think he'll be able to utitlize the change in sytle. but its just my opinion. lets see what happens

              Not that he isnt good enough but what does he harness that pac needs for floyd.

              Speed? No way. Even then the spped amir has isnt the same as floyd. Amirs shot dont come from angles like floyd also floyds will be coming in gaps and not in volumes. Salita got his ass beat from amir throwin a mad flurry, you wont ever see that outta floyd unless his man is damaged. Plus amir is just now getting a good defense but it is nothing to rival floyd. Even a khan fan like yourself must see that

              Look freddy is definently more knowledgable on boxing than myself but i would really love to hear why amir

                thanks for ur input.

                nah im jus saying that NOONE can emulate either of em. im jus asking why pick zab again when floyd already knows how to beat him. why not get a different southpaw?... well, i guess the only option is zab...

                    uh cause he's a southpaw and he can try to emulate Pacquiao. So sparring partners are suppose to be guys that can beat you? If you haven't noticed Mayweather hasn't been beaten yet.
