Its typical Floyd stan logic brehh. Nothing to see here... Pac could snatch one of Floyds xylocaine syringes, pull the DNA from the needle point and clone a Floyd to spar with and it still wouldn't be enough
Im also trying to figure out how it's a fail in sparring with a prime Rigo while on the flip side, Floyd is winning by sparring 2 washed up nikkas he already beat in their prime
Judah doesnt even have the same speed and power anymore, Paulie easily handled that nikka, 12-0 domination
The last couple pages of this thread is pure comedy. It amazes me how little dudes understand about why fighters are chosen as sparring partners.
Floyd hires Zab struggle ass and nikkas do backflips Manny hires the best defensive fighter not named Mayweather and "roach is throwing the kitchen sink"
I'm starting to see why Black Jesus is always trollin you nikkas.

With Floyd, it's all about form. Watch him hit the heavybag, he's getting his form down. He rarely ever hits it hard. Get the technique down pat, then fire away in the fight though I'm sure his brittle hands play a large part. Facing a southpaw gets him prepared to know what punches he needs to sit on, what he needs to do to stick and move, etc. He'll adjust to the speed of Manny and other things in the fight because I'm sure he has an idea of what's coming. Rigo paws his jab out as a range finder like Floyd but as mentioned earlier, the reach difference is messed up. Floyd has longer reach than Rigo and Manny. Footwork? Perhaps that is a plus to be learned. That's probably about it.
My only question is why manny wasn't wearing head gear while sparring.
On a side note, looks like Floyd Balboa will show up for this fight.

You can't sit here and watch boxing and tell your self Paq does anything better than Floyd.

Floyd is the better boxer, fighter, and has the better skillset. He's the bigger man with the longer reach. These guys been fighting damn near 20 years no amount of sparring partners are going to get Floyd ready for paq and vice versa.

Floyd is the better boxer NOT fighter.. the nikka thrown a combination once every 5 years... as for the rest of your post
Prime Rigo provides elite defense, elite quickness, elite foot/hand speed, and elite reflexes that Manny can work against...which is similar to Floyd. It's helping Manny get used to cracking a tight defense from one of the greatest defensive fighters in the sport today in Rigo. Rigo wouldnt be used to provide offensive similarities to Floyd because of the reach and height difference, which is why Manny is not wearing any gear they said and Rigo is armored up (because Rigo is most likely just providing defensive resistance)
Washed up Judah nor Corley, on the other hand, do not possess anything similar to Manny except both being south paws. Neither fight in his style, have the power he has, nor (at this point of their careers) can they duplicate the hand/foot speed or awkward angles he throws from. It's just names at this point for those 2.
How can you spar with the SHELL of 2 guys you beat at their best, and get more props on thecoli.com then a person sparring with someone who's one of the greatest pure boxers in the world today, beats me

Again, whoever is the better BOXER means nothing. It's about who applies what they are great at better than the other.
Quick examples:
Devon Alexander = destroyed by Shawn Porter
Paulie Malignaggi = ran thru by Ricky Hatton
Adrien Broner = ass kicked by Marcos Maidana
Vernon Forrest = Beat down TWICE by Ricardo Mayorga
Sugar Ray Leonard = Lost to Roberto Duran in the 1st fight
Bernard Hopkins = Lost to Sergey Kovalev
Amir Khan = KOd by Bredis Prescott
Juan Manuel Marquez = Schooled by Timothy Bradley
Chris Algieri = Dropped 6x in an easy win for Manny Pacquiao
etc...
The winner will be the one who can impose THEIR style/gameplan on the other. That's it. Being the better boxer doesnt mean you're gonna win at all. You have to be able to deal with what the other person brings to the table as well better than they can deal with what you're bringing.
