    Floyd sparred with Sweet Pea when he was young...why does it matter? They have probably both sparred with elite fighters much bigger than themselves. Why do we have these ridiculous Floyd hate topics even see the light of day?

They are never going 100% and are only in there to work on certain things for upcoming fights. God damn keyboard warriors that never stepped in to the ring a day in their life need to take a backseat on certain subjects. I'm sure you have followed boxing enough to know this already so what is your point in this thread? Can we get some kind of way to moderate ****** topics like this that have no point?

        I was just going to ask the same question. Sparring is sparring. You don't go all out and you don't over extended yourself. Plus if anything is not going right you can call for a pause. On top of that lets not forget the extra protection gear

          Were not talking about a little light spar, Porter and Provodnikov were Pacquiao's main sparring partners and they did some hard hard sparring.

          And I have sparred before and fought.

            People who say sparring is sparring are the ones that never boxed.

            So many different levels of sparring.

                No, Floyd was a sparing partner for them, and a little light spar is a big difference from being main sparring partner in a camp.

                  ... Ortiz and Guerrero have fought better fighters than Prov and Porter. I'd like Ortiz and Guerrero over Porter. Prov over Ortiz in a war and Guerrero over Prov in a close fight where Guerrero's gas tank prevails (imo though, really like Prov). Guerrero only lost to Floyd aka best fighter on the planet. Stop acting like Porter and Prov just beat on Wladimir and Ward. Alvarado is mid tier and Alexander is far from a top 5 welter. Guerrero and Ortiz both beat on Alexander IMO.

                    Its the worst kept secret in the world and widely known that Floyd doesn't fight p4p fighters.
                    Pac fought JMM, Bradley and then JMM again. Floyd fights Ortiz, Guerrero, and Canelo.....guys who aren't even top 20 p4p and that's being generous.
                    Floyd supposedly fought p4p SSM, who we know wasn't a p4p fighter.
