    It's gotta be someone with quick hand speed and elusive like Ward. Middleweight...

    I thought of Dirrell, but he is a southpaw.

    Andy Lee?Randy Griffin.We gota think possible ones.
    No way Dirrell or Mundine go for it.

    Yea, thats what I was thinking. Mundine is in Australia.
    It doesnt have to be a top 10 fighter... A good american style similar to Ward.

    Keep in mind that Ward is 6'1".

    I thought Codrington retired? Anyway, I don't think his style matches up all that well. Ward is a much better inside fighter than Codrington, and probably a bit more calculated (but with a higher workrate) as well.

    Hanshaw's not a bad choice. Neither would be LaFarrell Bunteng.

    From 154 Martinez would be awesome but I don't think he'd do it.But there are Foreman,Latimore,Ouma,Powell,Bunema,Smith,etc.

    Not possible, but Jermain Taylor. I think Miranda would be good as a Froch stand in too.

    More seriously. I can't remember the guy Pavlik sparred with for Taylor..... First fight especially.... Richard Pierson. Just googled him for you. :D He was pissed when Kelly got decked because he felt he was faster than Jermain and Kelly should have been prepared training against him. Not 100% sure this is the right guy, but pretty sure.

    OK. Right guy. http://www.vindy.com/news/2008/jan/27/getting-ready-to-rumble-pierson-prepares-pavlik/

    Miranda might literally KILL a 154 fighter.

    I couldn't imagine sparring Miranda, where you are paid to try to be the real opponent and copy the style of the dude Miranda is gonna face. They must get paid REALLY got damn good.

    Interesting... usually people mention all the top guys when it comes to sparring help. But many times these lower tier guys are better work. They will listen more and try to mock the fighters style you want.
