    That zelenoff is obviously not a professional boxer and has no chance of being one I dont even have him beating max kellerman in a fight but i would pay 50 bucks to see that

    Knocked him out once

    Francis flattened Audley pre 2000 Olympics

    According to McCall he was 5 and 5 with Tyson....

    Page as well as decking Tyson in public sparring, also busted him open delaying the Tyson/Stewart fight if memory serves me right.

    Foreman was busted open whilst in Zaire famously delaying The Rumble in the Jungle

    Tony Ayala built his reputation on decking Cuevas

    I would think every World class Heavyweight in particular must of been sparked in sparring (even the adequate ones like Briggs;) ), hell I reckon every world class fighter must of been at least once...

    Forgot about the Quincy Taylor/Ray Leonard in the build up to Hagler.
