    Andre Berto, Shane Mosley and Tim Bradley... none of those guys want to be sparring partners, they wanna fight pac.

    pac needs guys that fight w/ a philly shell defense. forbes has a good philly shell, but you can't trust him because he's close to the mayweathers and is a spy for them. pac should bring in guzman as his main sparring partner.

      Well first you got to realize the no one person imitates your opponent 100%, So when picking sparring partners you have understand your opponents strengths and what type of fight you might get into.

      With that said my list would look like this:
      1. Joshua Clottey-high guard defense, straight right, left hook to body & head, and uppercut
      2. Peterson bros-defense on the ropes, inside fighting abilities
      3. Demitry Pirog-pivoting, countering/transition for offense to D, shoulder roll, fighting inside pocket
      4. Ivan Calderon-movement, counter punching ability, footwork and slipping, ring generalship and ring IQ.
      5. Amir Khan-handspeed, outside fighting ability, jab

      I don't think they bring Bradley, Alexander or Berto in as they all might be future opponents of Manny.

        if NONITO DONAIRE can take MANNY's punches he is the perfect sparring mate slick foot & hand speed and he can emulate that shoulder roll. This guy is like a lil floyd IMHO.

          Sergio Mora was definitely a good choice for Pac.

          If i was Floyd I'd get Devon Alexander. Fast SP that would prepare Floyd well for Pac.
