    Anyone got any good stories that have come from sparring session involving famous fighters? I know that sparring isn't everything but any stories involving huge names being humbled are welcome.

    Bobby Chacon-Danny Lopez sparring sessions were well known.
    I heard Jeff Fenech-Roger Mayweather were good.
    Rjj did outspeed an old Leonard, but got clocked by a right hand.
    The Marquez bros would get spanked by Finito for years until Rafa finally bested him.
    Chavez Sr whipping a young Oscar, Oscar whipping a young Vargas.
    Morales feints troubling Floyds counterpunching style.
    Margarito whipping Oscar.
    Barrera beating Corrales.
    Angulo whipping Canelo, Golovkin whipping Angulo.
    Vanes making Chavez Jr look bad.
    Kirkland whipping Vera.
    McClelland dropping Michael Moorer.
