    What fighters are there out there who could copy Floyds style best to spar against Canelo? Are there any? I havn't a clue myself but I'd find it very interesting to know who Canelo is sparring and are they good at copying Floyds style?

    I bet some people on here would pay to put Adrien Broner in the ring with him!

    If you can tag Rigondeaux you can tag Floyd, good answer.

    None....because he has no chance. He's not going to be at his best fighting weight, he's going to be drained and not hydrated :lol:.

    Stevie Forbes, veteran former champ who's worked with the Mayweather's and as experienced and tough as they come. Semi-slick, but I'm sure he can simulate Floyd's style pretty well.

    I think GGG, who's fought slick fighters himself, could help Canelo tremendously.

    Rigo, Titere Vasquez, and Chemito Moreno would help tremendously.

    broner, forbes, guzman are all decent with the shoulder roll. but the shots canelo would hit those guys with in sparring would not land on floyd. so its tricky, he can get use to fighting the mayweather style wannabes but is different from the real thing. the ghost vs berto / the ghost vs floyd is a great example.

    The true master of the shoulder roll, Andre Berto

    I guess Guzman and Broner would be the likely candidates, although how much they would actually prepare you for Floyd is questionable.

    Broner is no candidate to emulate Floyd. Broner can maybe emulate an Andre Berto and thats about it. As someone said before, if you can hit Rigo, you can hit Floyd. That would be the best thing Canelo could do, if Rigo can emulate Floyd and doesnt cost too much.
