Roach hired Norwood as primary sparring partner for Pac. He's 38, pretty much the same vital stats with Manny (he's not that big imo), and obviously he's way past his prime.
What is he going to contribute with Pacquiao?..

Norwood was a good fighter with a spoiler type style simliar to Diaz. Norwood had a nack of making really good fighters look bad...ala Marquez. He wasn't pretty to watch, could be annoying as hell, but he was still pretty effective.

Well if Roach feels Norwoods the man for the job so be it.
If I was Roach I'd bring in someone like Miguel A. Huerta... A swarmer whos strong and durable much like Diaz.
Norwood and Pac do have something in common. They each hold a bullshitt win over Marquez
Isn't Norwood fighting on the undercard of tonights WNF?
Freddie Just got KOd by Edwards, the guy that beat him by DQ in his lat fight. He should have stayed retired with 1 loss on his record.
