    Errol didn't even say he is sparring Floyd for this camp either. I would have heard about that. So far the only sparring partners I know that has been mentioned is Corley and Judah

    Difference is that Chop Chop never sparred with the pacman to make the comparison.

    Unless it's completely one-sided a SD either way is the most likely, outcome I think Mayweather wins by late TKO with the score's being close at the time, with one even being a draw or in Pac's favor going into the 10/11th rd.

    Why the hell is a split decision not a likely outcome? Of course it is. Pacman is most likely the best southpaw Floyd has ever faced. That's great that he's knocking out southpaws in camp, but they ain't Pacman. Corley and Judah are washed up, now if he's knocking out an Errol Spence, that's a completely different story cuz Spence is talented and like Crawford he's the future of boxing.

    I think the fact that Spence has also sparred with Pacquiao before holds a lot of water here.
    Same reason that Cotto's, JMM's, Hatton's and yes even ODLH's opinion on who will win holds more merit than your usual boxer or sparring partner.

    I get what the OP was saying in that it's actually quite noteworthy that a sparing partner who was hired by FMJ will come out and say anything other than "this will be easy for FMJ". They ARE paid to make FMJ look good, after all.
    Maybe they didn't pay him enough to spew the same "FMJ is knocking us out sparring partners left and right" nonsense that we all know if far from sensible.
    Maybe he simply was able to have a taste of Pac's speed and power and he genuinely believes old Packy still has one last hurrah in him.
    Maybe he felt that this version of FMJ that he is sparring with won't have the stamina to last all 12 rounds doing what he does best against the beast in Pacquiao.

    What we are sure of is that this fight has already begun in the minds of both fighters and both their teams as well.
    And when one camp is paying potential sparring partners to not entertain the other fighter, and the other boxer is trash talking more than his usual, we know that these boxers mean business, we know that the mind games are real.

    And we will all find out come May 2nd who really was being honest, after all.

    I have never heard of Spence sparring Manny. I think the guy who made this thread is full of ****.

    Spence just had an interview where he mentioned sparring Mayweather, Broner, Peterson, etc, but no mention of Pacquiao . You would think it'd be one of the first things he's mention.

    And Pacquiao hasn't fought any southpaws recently

    Floyd is known to go to war with his sparring partners and beat them up in sparring. He stopped Omar Henry in sparring before the Cotto fight I heard also.
    This isn't a new thing.

    Errol Spence Jr is one of Mayweather's sparring partners how can he predict Pacquiao win?

    He is not so fool to be kicked in back.

    I think Spence just doesnt want to embarrass floyd or he doesnt want to get kicked out of the camp, so he just said it he'll win. LOL

    I'm also predicting a close decision for this one. I really can't see either of them losing in a one-sided fight. Mayweather has never lost and Pacquiao has never been totally "schooled" by anyone. Even the Marquez fights were all brutal 50/50 fights.
