    I'm pretty sure he was dropped by a super feather he was sparring with to replicate Pacs speed. Hatton's story is that he was ready for the Pac fight two to three weeks before the fight, Floyd Snr kept him training and he over trained and had nothing left. That's when he got dropped by the super feather.
     
  2. I dont get why people get all giddy like little schoolgirl princesses, hearing about these sparring stories as if dropping someone in sparring means something.

    Well let me tell you something, unless you've been in a gym boxing, then you have no clue around the circumstances.

    The boxer could be worn out after fighting 10 rounds previously before someone fresh steps in and then they have decent enough snap to knock out the guy who invited them to spar.

    If both fighters are fresh then yes you can take some confidence away from it and judge whether that person chins holds up.

    But like I said, a lot of the times fighters are sparring different opponents for consecutive rounds and get exhaused which leads to more suceptibility to being knocked out by the next sparring partner and then what does that mean the fresh fighter is superior to the exhuasted fighter who has nothing in the tank by time he faced him?

    Dumbasses hear sparring stories and automatically think the guy who got a flash knock down is the superior boxing or that the fighter who gave in to exhuastion should be embarrased.

    BS, until you start sparing and for 10-12 rounds non stop and see if you don't get weakened fighting different sparring partner, then stfu.

    Valero whislt he had that fear factor due to his Ko power would have been found out like so many other KO artists when they fight the top tier of opposition

    Hes a sparring story in himself

    Hatton was always going to look like ****e against Manny.

    That silly style of his would have been suicide against Pac.

    I think had Manny stayed at 140 and the comp been great, he'd have been the best ever there.

    You're wrong about everything there mate.

    1. There is no known footage of Tyson sparring McCrory, it happened 27 years ago if there was footage it would have been released by now.

    2. Reputable sources say Glenn sparred 100 rounds with Tyson not 4 rounds of 'light' sparring: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/a-tentative-tyson-is-boon-for-bruno-1341817.html
