Is it a good thing sparring partners have been giving Manny some trouble?

    Roach recently said in an interview that despite still looking good in training, some of the sparring partners who are attempting to imitiate Floyd's style have been causing Manny a few problems.

    Might this actually be construed as a good thing? How else will he learn to adapt? If he blasted through those guys in sparring, they obviously wouldn't be posing a decent challenge and this could give false confidence going into the fight.

    Of course, there's the other side, that if he's having trouble with fighters who are only imitating Floyd, it doesn't bode well for the real thing. So, thoughts? Will it prepare him better if he actually learns a lot from these sparring sessions? Or is it not a good thing?

    Well I heard rigo was sparring with him so wouldn't worry too much as a fan if he was troubling him, I guess u can ask which sparring partners were troubling him?

    Mind games. You honestly think Roach let's negative information get out like that? I promise you, if he says something about Pacquiao's condition, it's because he wants you to hear it.

    And if he's willingly saying how Pacquiao is struggling right now to reporters, it's because he the media to report it to the public and to Floyd's camp.
