    De La Hoya refers to them as the same ones he had training against Floyd, and his loss didn't seem to come from a lack of sharpness or false sense of opponent awareness.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there's stuff that Richardson doesn't want to be seen

    Indeed.

    Possibly trying to lull Floyd into a false sense of security. Of course, Floyd does the same things. And they both know it.

    But even a little bit of doubt can be cancerous.

    I mean, ****, Hatton seemed convinced that all Floyd did was tap the pads while looking into the camera.

    I think because of his age, he doesnt want real hard hitting sparmates who can give him undue damage, before the fight.

    Maybe he's more into gameplan, strategy, repetition of moves and countermoves instead of full contact sparring.

    :lol: alright tough guy.


    Rock Allen is a former olympian whose pro career has been stalled with poor opposition (while he "finetunes some things") and inactivity for a prospect while he's nearing the age of 30.

    He's of little assistance, especially considering how different his style is compared to Mayweather.

    Pac refused to throw a fight with Void.

    I do not think that Mosley agreed to throw the fight with Void either, I sure hope not.

    Does Mosley usually have tough sparring partners? Some guys just don't get difficult sparring partners, I know Cotto almost never uses difficult sparring partners. It would be tough to find someone who does the shoulder roll as effectively as Mayweather.
