Did anyone think Maywetaher looked goosed after the sparring session with baldomir on 24/7. Granted 14 rounds, but he really looked knackered after it - playing up for the cameras, maybe?

I thought so. Mayweather is one of the fittest boxers ever IMO.

But was it a standard 14 rounds or did his 15 miniute none stop rounds of sparring?

Mayweather may be doing more in sparring than he does in real fights. He will probably use huge gloves to protect his hands so he can throw more leather

IMO his stamina MAYBE overated. He doesn't move that much or throw that much leather. He doesn't use up loads of energy in fights usually. He will need to use more energy against Hatton than against Hoya/Judah/Baldomir.

Baldomir's really going to show him something new, isn't he?

Ellerbe clearly stated they brought in Baldomir because of his durabilty and strength not to show him anything new. N'dou and other partners are there for different aspects.

Hatton seems to be taking confidence that Mayweather is sparring Baldomir, but lets not forget he was world champ as was n'dou both until recently.

Who's Ricky sparring? Rock Allen? Bojado? Some other guy who is an amateur? Mayweather could say the same thing about them, they are nowhere near the league Mayweather is in.

Anyone would be shagged after 14 rnds of sparring - he did look f**ked, but it shows he's putting the effort in.

did Baldomir look a bit cheesed off about something?
Its impression I got.

We didn't see anything, so who gives a f**k. Both guy's are gonna be in great shape for this fight barring any serious injuries. The best man will win and that is likely to be Mayweather.

Not with floyds fighting style, Hatton doesnt look that bad from hitting the body belt, full belt for 12 rds. I agree though, both guys will be in great shape come fight night - just playin devils advocate as he looked worse for wear.

I would hope Hatton is sparring some guys with super fast hands. The guys listed aren't the ones I would pick to get my boxer ready to step in the ring against Mayweather.

I am surprised about the choice of Rickys sparring partners - Lots of bullshit on both sides I think to give the other false confidence - Heaven knows what is really going on behind the scenes - They will both be in perfect peak condition for the fight, but lets hope a cut or twisted ankle etc doesnt happen in this comming week.

Hatton's sparring with Rock Allen? Difference between Allen and Ndou/Baldomir - is Allen is on the way up. Yes, you can say Baldo and Ndou have been world champions - but who is to say Allen will not be.

I have been very impressed with Allen thus far in his pro career - one of America's brightest prospects IMO. Thats quality sparring.

Bojado though... not sure what he brings.

I thought Allen looked promising knocking over a few tomato cans but his punch doesnt seem to have transcended to the journeymen hes facing now. I havent seen his latest fights whats he looked like recently?

I think the difference is that fighting with Ndou and Baldomir back to back while your tired mimicks Hatton far better than Allen/Bodajo could mimick Mayweather
