    What boxers do you think an opponent would have a difficult time finding the right sparring partners to emulate they style?

    Roy Jones, cause there were no fighters like that in the 160/68/75 pound weight classes like Roy.

    Good luck finding that power, stamina, punch output, and long ass arms from a 5'4" sparring partner.

    I always thought Tommy Hearnes would be a pain to find a sparring partner for same goes for Williams not only is he tall for that weight but the workrate is insane agreed with the Calzaghe one I think if he reaches potential Wilder will become a difficult one to find sparring for as well

    mayweather - impeccable defense and accuracy

    pac - crazy footwork and use of angles and punch output

    yuri gamboa - blinding speed and power

    any of the elites really

    Pac (Valero was a nice partner though to use)
    and P Dub was a nice shout
