what should i do, i dont mind sparring them i want to see how far i've come and what advice can you give to me?

and oh yeh there is this one other problem i have in sparring is that i get cornered or end up on the ropes!?
sparring people better than you is the best thing for you. When their firing their fast jabs youre going to realize that you need to fire a fast jab back if you wanna land it, and guess what, you will. As far as being on the ropes you need to earn your respect when youre not on them so that they know if youre in a croner your gonna fight like an animal in one, then they wont be so quick to crowd you and not let you out....they'll see you in there and aproach you cousciously
