Who would you have most / least liked to spar?

I'd love to spar Charlie Zelenoff.
I'd hate to spar Wilder if he heard how much crap I'd been talking about him

 

I would not have liked taking the hook from tommy morrison.this guy could bang like hell he only needed 1 shot to change the final of a fight and he sparred aggressively

 

Sonny Liston, after I b1ssed him off by calling him an "Ugly Bear, too ugly to be Champion".

 

I would have loved having a single round of 3 minutes with lamotta.he is one of my idols. I know that he would kick my complete ass.despite i am a strong 6'1 1/2 and 225 pounder he was not a legend for nothing . elite fighters are always stronger than their weights suggest.i am pretty sure that jack dempsey was strong like hell

 

I guess that if it was a real offer, you should pick somebody like Sullivan, to learn about his style.

For the good of history of course!

 

I'd only want to do it with someone who was happy just to carry me and teach me stuff. No reason to take a beating. Maybe Malignaggi would be decent.

 

Nobody, really. But in keeping with the spirit of this thread, I'd probably pick Whitaker or Mayweather so that I could marvel at their defensive techniques and possibly learn a few things.

 

There is that short film of Sullivan standing around with other heavy champs of the 1900 era., throwing some "mock" punches with his buddies. You could tell Sullivan was legit for his "day".

 

Would have loved to spar with Ali. In fact, I wrote him three times trying to do just that. Didn't receive a reply but he was probably flooded with such requests. That would have been a memorable experience and dare I even say - fun?

As much as I admired Rocky Marciano and would have loved to meet him, I don't think I would have cared to spar with him. I understand he was bent on destruction every time he stepped into a ring, be it an actual fight or sparring. On a similar note, one night I dreamed that I was suiting up to spar with Tyson. I didn't feel nervous while I was getting ready, which must have caused me to realize it was a dream and I then woke up before the sparring session began!

 

The Rock specialized in "impact" punches. He had "heavy hands".

 

Primo Carnera.... I reckon I could survive a fight under amateur conditions.

 

Yeah Liston, Tyson, Foreman, Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Morrison, Cooney, Frazier , Hearns, Cuevas, Duran, JCC, Hagler, McClellan, Jackson, Steele, Ketchel, Fitz, all the deadly hitters remind me of Clubber Lang's prediction "pain"

The stylist and defensive wizards would be safer lol

I would think Bhop would be a real learning experience

 

A few friends did exhibitions with Ali...Ali punched over his head intentionally and touched when he did hit a totally fun deal Ali was a showman and did not seemed to like to hurt people for no reason the other guy did a 6 Rd exhibition and was dropped with a body shot but no hard head shots

 

At the same time im also torn between wanting to meet my idols frazier, foreman, marciano and tyson, and also not wanting to lose teeth lol

 

I remember watching Hopkins getting interviewed in his old stomping ground. There was a homeless guy on a bench who boxed in the same gym as B hop. The guy said no one wanted ever wanted to spar B hop, meaning he obviously dished it out in the gym. B Hop returned a compliment to the guy by saying he never backed away from the spar.
