    What are some infamous sparring facts and/or rumors in boxing? I will start this off

    -Williams gave Margarito so much trouble in sparring they sent him home
    -Pacquiao KD Shawn Porter multiple times in sparring
    -Prior to his first bout with Holyfield Bowe got numerous ass kickings by Briggs

    Others?

    I think it was Tyrell Biggs not Shannon Briggs that beat up Bowe in sparring right?

    It's been rumoured that Travis Walker beat up Vitali in sparring. Pretty far fetched if you ask me.

    Danny Green sparring with James Toney is sensational. Apparantly Green got the better of him and Toney went ballistic and pulled a gun. Sounds rubbish to me, but they def did spar... the footage is on YT and Green looks like a SFW next to Toney :rofl

    Eugene Hart supposedly knocked out Tim Witherspoon in sparring

    Mac Foster almost definitely sparked out an old Sonny Liston on sparring.
