    When one fighter give the other a beatdown, a 16 year old roy jones dropping prince charles williams with a body shot comes to mind

    muhammad ali beat the **** out of ingemar johannson when he was a rookie and ingo was training for the patterson rubber match. it was so embarassing his training pulled him out after/during the second round. ali said "it should be me fighting the champ!"

    Holmes took some pretty major sparring abuse off of Ali also I think.

    Recently we've got Lara and Valero beating up on Hatton and Oscar.

    oh yeah tyson got dropped by greg page and given hell by mccall but they weren't beatdowns. he just didn't take the sessions seriously and got caught

    the spadafora/mayweather footage was compelling BUT most of the time, the clips omit the first half of the session where mayweather takes it to paul before running out of steam

    Yeah, I was about to mention the McCall one, too. He took him apart with those bodyshots and looked like McCall was wearing some kind of padding around his middle.

    Tyson dropping Lennox Lewis inside 60 seconds when they were teenagers, then Lennox getting up and running away for the rest of the week he stayed at Catskills.

    G-Man out-boxing Sugar Ray Leonard and Michael Moorer on the same night on his first-ever day at Kronk.

    Evander Holyfield and Oliver McCall refusing to spar with G-Man because he hit too hard.

    Eubank dropping Bomber Graham for the first time in his life (just before Bomber fought McCallum), but then Bomber getting up and Eubank not able to lay a glove on him for the rest of the session.

    Reggie Johnson getting the better of Roy Jones in Pensacola in the fall of '91.

    Naz getting beaten up by sparring partners before he fought Barrera.

    Hatton dropped by a body shot from former British champ Pat Barrett when he was 15 (he'd never been so hurt from one punch and it gave him inspiration to introdude body punching into his style).

    Sam Soliman claiming that Kostya Tszyu hit harder than middleweights

    Dirrell - Dawson came from Floyd sr when he was trainging him.

    Yeah G-man would spar heavy's at 190(mind you he would boil down to 160 and hydrate back up to 180)
