    ....

    Seems like the entire world fking schooled Floyd in sparring

    Paul Spadafora
    Morales
    (Whitaker) even though it was Floyd who schooled him

    Fact: Floyd always wins man.

    the story is Morales was getting trained by Sr at the time and was in camp for a fight He had jr come in while in between fight's it's said Erik got the best of him. It would have been interesting if Erik moved up sooner I think who every had Mayweather sr in there corner had the better chance of winning. I'm sure he would know both guys weak points and how to neutralize it. Don't quote me on this though I could be wrong that's just the story I've heard.

    I mean I've heard Erik was able to teach floyd a thing or two (which isn't impossible even if u are the best fighter on the planet) but I heard he did a lil more than best him and that he completely broke through Floyd's shoulder roll

    Wonder if anybody asked morales how he did it???but mvc is actually somewhat right in saying apparently everybody beats floyd in a sparring match. Everyone wants a claim to fame

    After watching the Pac/JMM, Pac/Singsurat fights, I just can't question the rumours of Amir Khan knocking Pac down 3x in sparring anymore.

    I just can't. :deal

    This might explain why floyd was rooting for manny to kick erik's ass.

    Floyd said something "I got a style you can't beat", Erik said "I don't believe you", and witness said it was Erik's perfection of feinting that threw Floyd off. Feints are a counter punchers worst nightmare. People forget El Terrible was born in a boxing gym and started at 4 yrs old. It was after his divorce I think, heavy drinking, and move up to 135 that he went downhill hard. Raheem would of been no prob for him, but he was done.

    Sure. If that makes you feel better. Floyd was just on a whole other level than Morales.

    Most fighters are just too lazy to put in the effort.

    Sparring is called sparring for a reason. Plus I agree with MVC on that one about those sparring rumors. Eventhough everybody knows mvc is a racist troll.

    But...
    El terrible was quite something, he was a magician in the ring. It is possible that in sparring while both guys were somewhat testing things that Morales got the best of it. Morales skills should be learned by young boxers.
