I don't understand how fighters just turning pro are having less than 6 or 7 fights every 12 months.
    that's the mindset of a c level fighter lol!!! would floyd ever be a sparring partner for another fighter???

        I was going to insult you at first, and I'm trying really hard not to. But do you think fighters would rather spar with a weak opponent with no skills or someone who can actually push them?

          im saying floyd would never be a sparring partner. do you think floyd would be a sparring partner to get another fighter ready??? there's a difference between good fighters and the elite. the elite will never have to be a sparring partner for another fighter. take it how you want.

              I went to look into Black Genesis by Kevin R Smith to be a smartass and actually quote the champions, Richmond, and James.

              James fought much later than the era I was speaking to. I need to look up who the **** it actually was and fix the post ****.

              I know you didn't mean to, but, thanks for the correction. My bad y'all.
              Lol well It was a good read anyway, sincerely

                  actually floyd have worked out with other fighters. Boring azz Spadafora comes to mind. He and Judah also worked together when Zab was a top fighter at 140. Nothing wrong with getting work in. There is definitely something wrong with fighting twice a year in your prime and packing on 40 lbs in between fights. But that's just my opinion.

                    Krong gym fighters sparred with each other. Toney sparred with any and everyone. Norton and Fraizer were in the same camp sparring together. hahaha
