    Collazo usually gets reeled out for these occasions.

    Emulating Mayweather in sparring, it's comical thinking about it.

    Because a 126 lb fighter is going to spar a big 154 lb fighter.

    There is none. No blueprint.

    I think they would yes. Pay Rigondeaux a nice few bob, put the head gear on and away you go. Fighters from different weight classes spar all the time regardless of the difference in weight.

    Prime Sugar Shane Mosley, prime Sugar Leonard, prime Benitez, and prime McCallum.

    Canelo did say he was going to be up at Big Bear and was going to be speaking with Shane :deal


    And Rigo would be a great asset

    Sorry to venture off topic a bit, but any news on who Rigo will be facing next and when we're looking at?

    Rigo is a southpaw. Why would you even entertain that thought? Floyd is not Donaire. Floyd can throw the right hand.

    He may be able to find a guy that imitate some of Floyds moves but he will never find a guy who can think like Floyd. No blueprint.

    Guys like Forbes, Broner, Alexander and Judah are friends of Floyd and wouldn't ever help prepare Canelo to fight him. Canelo should just get the best possible fighters with good speed who are hungry and going to push him to get him as sharp as possible. Floyd is a master of his own style and Canelo needs to be his sharpest to be ready. That said, Mosely would be horrible. Linares would be interesting, I couldn't see Gamboa agreeing to it unless they gave him a spot on the undercard and Floyd would veto that.

    You said "no blueprint" in both of your last posts. I think Floyd has come out with newer catchphrases since that one; you are lagging behind.

    And anyway, there is "no blueprint" to beat Canelo. So much fail in 1 post.

    De la hoya, mosley would be the best since they both fought Mayweather.

    Canelo is not going to find nobody like Floyd period since nobody fight's like him. Marquez had people try to imitate Floyd but they failed miserably and you saw what happen on fight night. His best bet is probably would probably use Steve Forbes since he has a similar style and he can give Canelo a glimpse on what he is up against on fight night.

    Floyd would be a great sparring partner to prepare Canelo for Floyd
