    I don't like him sparring Calderon at all.

    Zab Judah is always going to make a good sparring partner.

    Zab judah would be the best for him honestly, The speed uppercuts, however the guy that he sparred with to prepair him for Zab now there is an option~ who ever that guy was bring him back he served your camp well.

    Exactly he knows how to mimic both Pac and Tyson and Whitaker and Floyd, alot of fighters have an idea, remember mosley on DLH FMJ 24/7 a world class fighter should know how to mimic other fighters.

    Calderon

    Cotto needs to work on his ability to cut the ring off badly, because if Im team Pacquiao thats how I beat Cotto. Circle for the 1st 3-4 rounds and go all out afterwards.

    Not really, Manny comes forward more than he does move away, the only thing Cotto needs to do is stay in the center of the ring and time manny comming in especially when Manny gets throwing them wild shots.....

    Cotto is winning this fight.....

    Strangely as it may sound, I'd use Saul Alvarez to imitate Cotto's style, but I don't think Roach has problems finding the suitable sparring partners. It's Pacquiao who's style is damn hard to prepare for, so I guess any quick and mobile lefty should do it. Hatton used Lara but got beat up pretty badly. Alexander has very decent handspeed too.

    Khan is not in any way like Cotto it just wouldnt work style wise. There are some fighters in LA that Freddy can use, the same ones that Margarito used, a good one is Octavio Navarez, who fights similar to cotto is just as tall as Miguel and who also switches to south paw
