    Where a fighter had WORLD CLASS sparring in his camp as prep.

    I usually see a lot of fighters use very mediocre sparring partners, but can you remember any instances where a world class fighter also brought in world class sparring partners/partner as part of their camp?

    Dempsey v Tunney, he had Loughran and Greb. Going back, Gus Ruhlin employed Denver Ed Martin, as did Fitz.The Kronk Gym had plenty of quality sparmates.

    If I'm not wrong, Ali used Holmes to prepare for The Rumble in the Jungle.
