Comments Thread For: Mayweather: It Only Counts in The Ring, Not in Sparring

Floyd cant be beaten up in sparring as hes hard to hit. I'll believe hes been touched when i hear stories of Floyd on the canvas.

They say you don't get old overnight, but in the gym.. This could be the case for an aging floyd... No man can beat Father Time

Remeber the big black eye Erol Spence gave him in the Robert Guererro camp?

True, but now it's 2 years later, floyd 2 years older, and manny is much much better than ghost

Floyd will never put himself in a position to let himself get hopelessly beat up. This is sparring I'm sure it's not the 1st time he's had a busted lip or somebody got the best of him in sparring and it really doesn't matter. Fight night is truly the only thing that counts.

I agree,, it only matters in fight, but floyd is nearing 40 years old..

And a lot smaller , you guys keep ignoring it and Floyd will be a boss in this fight .

I highly doubt size will play much of a factor in this fight.. Both guys are way too skilled.. Floyd might be bigger, but I don't think it will be a huge advantage, just a slight one.

Beside Corley and Zab; I'm sure this means a lot more to guys we never heard of than it does for Floyd. If Floyd was just steam rolling everybody is when I would worry I'm glad he's getting pushed.

The reach advantage is going to be a factor if Mayweather uses it.

For sure, forcing Pacquiao to lunge just to try and reach him and getting countered.
