    Lara is nowhere near as good as Floyd is, not even close.

    Pac should be sparring S.O.G Ward if he really wants any sort of success against Floyd.

    But he ain't. Ward is the closest thing to a Floyd in this era.

    Lara is a very very good sparring partner for Pac

    Lara beats Floyd 100 times out of 100. He's the best technician around the welter weight as a sparring partner

    While Lara isn't as good as Floyd, it won't hurt

    A lot of boxers don't actually watch boxing. Pacquiao never watched a Golovkin fight when GGG visited him too. Both him and Floyd seem to be more basketball fans.

    I watched a Floyd interview from last summer and they asked him what was the last fight he watched, he said he doesn't keep up with boxing and doesn't really follow it; however, Pacquiao/Bradley 2 was on TV next to the hot tub he was in, so he watched it, lol.

Then, a dragon appeared and ate them all.

    Better?

    well, he's not actually sparring lara.... but... it would hurt....

    cos lara's a southpaw.... way bigger, stronger, longer than pacquiao....

    how would getting spanked daily in sparring by a southpaw help pacquiao? it wouldn't.

    but like i said, he's not actually sparring lara.

    Canelo fought the right fight against Lara whereas he fought the wrong fight against Floyd. Had Canelo fought the way against Lara against Floyd he could have beaten Floyd too. Came in with the wrong gameplan. Styles make fights. Lara is too slick, fast and equally as good a defensive fighter as Floyd. He's Floyd's biggest nightmare, even more so than GGG.

    Lara is a southpaw and thus is not good as a sparring partner for Manny.

    No post sucks. I don't believe a word that Manny/Floyd say in the media. Everyone with a brain knows Floyd is obsessed with Manny...he watches every minute of his fights and Manny likewise. It makes no sense for them to not to. Same goes for other boxers.
