    ...And all I can say is..

    LOL...

    I just pray the clueless Pacfans who have more cash than brains keep laying money on Pacquaio and bet down the odds on a Mayweather win.

    I guess he can emulate some aspects of floyd well, he has too because that's the only thing that has to make sense, because 15-19 record doesn't, really scream floyd like dominance.

    Still, I liked the Lara, rigondeaux rumors better... Even if I had to imagine Lara converted back to orthodox during sparring.

    All I can do is laugh at people who believe anything at all they hear, good or bad about either camp.

    Manny's real sparring partner is Pope Francis. I thought everyone knew that? :conf

    You're the one who's clueless and don't know what you're talking about.

    Did OP even read the article? Manny has MANY sparring partners, allegedly someone who is on TMT as well. However, someone in the media found it fascinating that he also has a UFC fighter as a sparring partner as well. I still give the nod to May for having awesome sparring partners like Judah and Chop Chop but Freddie Roach is already quoted numerous times throughout his career saying sparring for a seasoned veteran just causes wear and tear.

    It's a belief he has and implements a lot.

    His takedown defense should be really tight, maybe he thought he was fighting Maidana.

    It's hard to bet against Floyd.....however, these kinds of statements typically come back to bite you in the end. Over confidence is fine when it's something like math....where the outcome is given. Boxing....anything can happen and years ago when DLH was about to fight PAC the comments resembled a lot of the comments I see today in favor of Floyd. I think Floyd wins.....but I'm not dumb enough to bet on it knowing that Floyd is in a real fight this time.

    I'm not a betting man, but if the odds end up favoring Pac, I'm placing a bet on Floyd.

    I think it's a great idea. He also needs to train for all the clinching that is for sure going to be a big part of Floyd's defense.
