Who In Boxing Is The Hardest Fighter To Prepare For?

Pacquaio is a freak of nature, you can't prepare for that. The guy was difficult when he was fighting with one hand, now he's an orthodox fighter's worse nightmare.

Anyway, as the Marquez camp has already made public, Mayweather would be hard to prepare for. Just getting someone to spar with that could do what he does would be difficult. One thing is doing the Philly shell defence, doing it absutely perfect is another thing.


Mosley for his speed which even at his age is absolutely incredible, esp. those combos. I remember him doing some ninja display of handspeed in front of Margarito and then tagging him hard with a right hand. Margo just nodded his head and smiled as if he appreciated the display.

In his prime, Tito would be hard. I think everyone he fought was completely shocked at his power. There is always that first right hand and the look of stupification on the opponent's face.

 

Shane Mosley wouldnt be a good choice and when they tried to get Stevie Forbes, he told Marquez to **** himself...so yea...cab drivers at this point sound good :conf

 

Juan Manuel Marquez, Paul Williams, PBF

 

Mosley would be a hell of a lot better than who he's got now. Not that Mosley would even do it...just throwing a name out there. Forbes would be a great sparring partner. Maybe Marquez needs to wave some money around. You gotta spend money to make money. Nacho is in there telling the sparring partner how to act like Floyd...that crap will never work. The last place to find a Mayweather-like sparring partner is in Mexico. Come on Juan....

 

Sorry man, that's a myth that Evander outboxed Valuev. He did indeed for six rounds, after that he didn't land any punches and was pinned to the ropes a few times in the later rounds. I was rooting for Evander like crazy, but he got too much biased, sentimental credit because he did well, but he didn't win that fight. It should have been a draw.

This poll was about how difficult it is to prepare for a fighter, not how difficult he is to beat. Vitali and Wlad are difficult to prepare for, because most tall sparring partners would be the proverbial big stiffs and Vitali's style is very unusual anyway. Lennox and Manny were obviously surprised after two rounds...

 

Would Mosley even travel to Mexico? :huh I seriously doubt that...he also doesnt speak Spanish...

But yea I can see what your saying though...but honestly...what else is he supposed to do? At least they somewhat mimic his movements, it maybe poor as ****, but its a lil teaser into what he needs to do mentally...I think that essentially is what matters. Just to sorta get a small window as to what openings might be available.

The brown dude was a better mimic than the white guy when reviewing the second episode...
