It is not true, according to trainer Freddie Roach, who picks the sparring partners.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rigondeaux as a sparring partner for Pacquiao makes no sense, anyway, because although he is great defensively and fast like Mayweather, he is also about 20 pounds lighter than Pacquiao and left-handed. Pacquiao, who will begin sparring for the fight on Tuesday, has two sparring partners in camp at Roach\u2019s Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California, to begin with (with more coming). They are Kenneth Simms Jr. (5-0, 2 KOs) and Rashidi Ellis (14-0, 11 KOs).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>BJPENN.COM, YOUR HOME FOR MAYWEATHER VS.
