Is this Zab Judah in the Mayweather gym?

If you merely want generic work in the gym, then you can (and should) spar with anybody. Rounds are rounds.
But if you are prepping for a fight, and want strategy-specific or tactical work, you can't spar with a guy who is faced the wrong way.
Floyd, Sr. has said that the jab is the key to this fight. If they really believe that (and I think they're genuine), then you need a right-handed opponent to simulate Mosley's stance. Remember, Floyd is a counter-puncher who relies upon timing and spacing.Comment

I don't think he's there to spar. I mean I can't think of too many people who are less Sugar Shane like than Judah.Comment

Yeah I agree with your points. It doesnt seem to make any sense in having Judah to prepare for Mosley. But this takes me back to an episode of 24/7 when Floyd and Roger talked about strategy. Floyd always say's he doesnt talk strategy because he can adjust and adapt when he gets in the ring. I guess that's a fair point, I reckon he uses the sparring as more of just preperation and getting his body ready more than anything to do with strategy or a gameplan. I think Floyd knows what he has to do to win, He doesn't use sparring partner's like some other's do (To mimmick the opponent's style)If you merely want generic work in the gym, then you can (and should) spar with anybody.

Roger "You don't here me talking about strategy do you? That's bull****"

I agree 100% dude. I mean I love Zab and he can fight and he does have speed and power but his style is NOTHING like Mosley's. People are saying Zab could imitate Mosley's style but I've seen NOTHING from Zab that makes me think he can imitate a right hand dominate fighter. I think Zab would be a great sparring partner for a Mayweather vs Pacquiao showdown, NOT for this fight.Comment
