    do you think it would be a good fit , broner probably walks around in the 150's based on his pics with alexander and maidana

    I think he'll use the standard Floyd impersonator in Steve Forbes

    I can understand CB but for the right money they'd get him in. Broner fights like Floyd but he is different. Still a good sparring partner.

    :deal It's too bad because he would be the perfect sparring partner.

    The question would be does he think like Floyd. Not at all. The kid is still way too young to be trying to mimic a great!

    If his weight is up there I think it would be good.. Cotto shouldn't take those sparring sessions and think it's how the fight will play out, but Broner does have some Floyd like tendencies that would help him prepare for the fight.

    He may very well be a good fit however I do not believe Broner will do it.

    Curious who they have in mind!!!

    Broner would get wrecked in sparring.

    Calderon would help as well.

    Think they say he used to school Oscar.

    Broner needs to stop trying to be like Floyd currently is and be more of a boxer-puncher. He's exciting(many forget Floyd was as a SFW, LW) but he's an INCREDIBLY watered-down version of Floyd. Cotto would do best with Forbes as someone said earlier. Most I can think of as a sparring partner for Cotto ftm. Hopefully someone younger can give someone good sparring though. Much younger.

    For real, he is not as quick on his hands and feet either nor his defense. He poses like Floyd.

    Good fit, but it'll never happen. Broner is a championship level fighter.

    He would be good for certain aspects of preperation,
