Roach, The Mayweathers' all have great padwork skills and I think that is key. It teaches you the basics.
Except all those guys all have tough sparring, Pacquiao gets guys who will get a grand if they can knock him down so they're trying to take his head off. Mayweather meanwhile has five sparring partners & basically does a 15 round fight, with a new guy coming in every 3 rounds. Padwork is great, but you get guys who're great on pads but struggle in sparring you see that in any gym
