I notice Manny Pacquiao always gets his butt kicked in sparring

Because sparring isn't about winning rounds or looking good. It's about working on different aspects of your game, usually tailored to the opponent you're fighting.

They show you what they want you to see.

Yo udont see pac destroying his work in sparring because they don't want you to see it.

Doubt it, Freddie has always been open to let people watch Pac spar, Robert Guerrero even owned him in sparring. Also the Karim Mayfield video which was like 12 minutes long showed Pac look horrible. He just kept getting popped and than would adjust his head gear and trunks.

yuuuup

Sparring is like preseason NFL football. The final score is irrelevant. All they're doing is working on new plays, looking at new blood, and just testing & tinkering with ****.

**** i just owned myself lol

Sparring is to work some techniques tailored for your upcoming fight. Not to beat the hell out of your sparring partner. Pac in real fight will use his speed in full effect.

Sparring is not the same as fighting.

Go watch the Ali documentary.

defense is alot more difficult with headgear, and no, i haven't noticed all these beatings he takes, he definitely takes some big shots, but of the sparring i've seen he gets guys back just as well, the mayfield sparring footage you mention also, mayfield didn't dominate anything, pacquiao actually wobbled also

but again, with headgear headmovement is awkward, and your peripheral is obstructed, the ulatimate style in the amatuers is running, your footspeed becomes your defense

We should have ended the thread right here.

Excuses, if that was true how come his sparring partners have no problem and dominate him. Next...
