    I honestly can't see Figuroa surviving more then a week of sparing with Cotto anyways.

    Nothing. Boxing logic does not work on simplistic equations.

    Figueroa wasn't in the best of shape, and supposedly wasn't even training prior to joining the camp, so that could possibly have something to do with. He's fighting Rashad Halloway at welterweight because he said he couldn't make 140 by November 4th, the day they're scheduled to fight.

    Anyway, El Gato says he'll have a video explaining what happened during the camp on his Twitter soon...

    It is a simplistic equation, and its simple to understand that this guy in Figueroa is not suitable to prepare Cotto for Pac. If he were, Arum would
    keep him there. There is no suitable sparring partner to prepare for Pac;
    Just sparring partners. Bring em in, and ship them out.

    El Gato said on his Twitter he don't think it was Arum's call. And when asked by another user how the sparring went with Cotto, he said that he (Cotto) sent him home.

    I don't buy that... I think Gato Figueroa is more capable of giving Cotto a good sparring session than these 2 remaining sparring partners of Cotto...;)
