Ndou is faster than Hatton if anything. So Macklin is fast enough to emulate PBF?
Obviously your never going to get sparring anywhere near as good as the guy your fighting but the word on Karl Dargan is that he has ridiculous hand speed, Rock Allen and Steve Forbes are tricky on the inside and have good defense, and John Murray is very durable with a good box fighter style, add in the pure physicality and strength of Macklin, who is also crafty and i think you have a good team of sparring partners.
Mayweather obviously has his 2 main guys in Chop Chop Corley and Kofi Jantuah, and Lovemore N'dou is as good as your going to get as a sparring partner at 140/147, he will be able to emulate Ricky some what but is nowhere near as quick and doesn't have the repotoire of punches. He does however, have a very hard head and he does do that odd kinda bob and weave a bit like what Ricky does. There isn't an argument really, we both know they are getting the best sparring possible, and there's no point arguing over it like it may win someone the fight, when clearly it won't, they both have great sparring partners.
Oh and Macklin is way tougher than N'dou
he's a damn Middleweight and he's also much quicker than N'dou, ridiculous argument. That doesn't mean that Hatton will be sparring Macklin like that though. Sparring is sparring, it's apples and oranges.
Remember the good old days, we miss you Marco!
