One of Pacquiao's Sparring Partners is Very Impressed
Posted by A. Shakoor on 11.02.2009
Says he's more impressive than one of his rivals.
Jose Luis Castillo, who is one of Manny Pacquiao's sparring partners for the November 14th showdown with Miguel Cotto, is very impressed so far. Castillo believes that Manny is bigger and faster than Floyd Mayweather Jr. Castillo lost two close decisions to Mayweather during the early part of the decade when both were at 135lbs. Castillo also says Manny is a much harder puncher.
Trainer Freddie Roach has some thoughts about the size differential in the upcoming bout:
"Strength and height does not win fights, ability win fights. Manny is a better boxer than Cotto."
