    i mentioned this awhile back when the floyd/pac talks were going on...and people were mentioning possible sparring partners for floyd if he were to face pac

    i mentioned boo boo....and many felt that was a bad idea...completely different style...and i agree...he couldnt really duplicate pacs style....but not many can...in fact the one man who might be able to come close is now dead

    but should floyd fight sergio martinez....would that be any better suited to replicate the style? probably not....but i think it would be awesome to see those two develop a bond inside the gym....training with the mayweathers would really be awesome for boo boos progression....and hes similar in style....obviously not saying he should be the chief partner....but might not be a bad idea to bring him in....and like i said...it would be great if those guys took a liking to each other....and they taught andrade a few things

    wats your fasination with andrade ? there are so many good junior/middle prospects out there like jacobs, guerrero, porter, korobov, henry, kirkland, lara ect....

    so far all of these have impressed more than andrade

    we are both from rhode island...not to mention that he has a great amatuer pedigree....i think he also has the ability to adapt to the mayweather style of fighting more than guys like jacobs, kirkland, and henry

    he could use D Andrade..I think hes too green and Floyd needs more experienced sparring partners for a fight with Manny...SHANE, ZAB, OR BERTO WOULD ALL GIVE EXCELLENT SPARRING FOR EITHER PAC OR FLOYD..ALL ARE QUICK, SEMI GYM RATS OR FULL ON GYM RATS, GIVE GOOD WORK IN THE GYM FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, AND ALL ARE TOUGH...

    great avatar by the way

    and yer right...andrade is very green...i think the thing that im really clamoring for is these guys to develop some sort of friendship...a passing of the torch type of thing...i know andrade works mostly with his father...but id love to see him working with roger, sr, and floyd..

    i know floyd roots for andre ward....so im really hoping hell take an interest in another former olympian....anyone know if floyd and ward have ever been in the same gym?
