Karim Mayfield and a 17 yr old Benevidez used to toy and school Pacquiao in sparring

[hectari]

But how come it never translated to the pro fights? I remember Karim Mayfield was getting the better of Manny in sparring as well as a young benevidez, Pac was laying on the ropes and Benevidez was teeing off on him and Pac wasn't throwing much punching in the sparring.

you would think if these guys are able to toy with a legend like Pacman they would be able to be top level champions in the pro bouts?

What gives how come they didnt succeed to the top level?

You think pacquiao is even trying against these dudes in sparring?

Cause sparring isn't a way to judge anything, PAC was probably testing his defense.

Exactly, people read too much into sparring sometimes.

Like when they talk about a guy got dropped in sparring, well maybe they working on something defensively he hadn't quite mastered yet and got caught. You can't really perfect things until you understand the mistakes.

Or maybe some guys are genuinely good in sparring but they don't have the mentality to do it when it matters. As everyone knows, sport is a lot about mental strength too.

Sparring is a world apart from an actual fight. Sparring is sparring. Boxers work on different aspects of their craft in sparring. That's the real goal. Not beating your sparring partner.

Sparring is like a preseason game in the NFL. In preseason games teams are just trying to work on new plays. New schemes. Look at how new additions fit. And where they fit. Winning in the preseason is completely secondary.

In the preseason a team like the Browns may beat the New England Patriots. Why? Because the Patriots don't care. It's a win for the Patriots just to get out of that preseason game with no major injuries. They could give a f**k about the W. They just wanna work on some new wrinkles and then get the f**k out of town. But when the lights come on in a real game, with live bullets flying, the Patriots are going to steamroll that same Browns team that beat them in the preseason by 4 touchdowns. And there are guys in practice in [name your league here] who just kill it in practice and look all-world. But then the lights come on in real game action and those same dudes shrink and look like they've never played that sport in their entire life.

Erik Morales and Spadofora whip Floyd in sparring but both would lose in a real bout

[yngwie]

So?.
It's sparring, Manny was probably working on specific things.
Muhammad Ali lost almost every sparring session you can find and i have stories like that from every boxer.

with his tiny dick?
