    We always know that boxers hire sparring partners for an incoming fight. Was there an instance when the superstars or greats(PBF,Pac,Mosely,Bhop) hired as one?:think

    Not exactly superstars but Tyson often sparred with McCall. Holyfield sparred with Tua for the Tyson fight a lot.

    George "Monk" Foreman sparred a legend his dad. :D

    I can't see Floyd doing it, he has the biggest ego in all of sports. emmanuel is too busy playing congressman.

    Mosley is special. He seems VERY humble for an elite fighter. Oscar also happens to be a close friend of his from childhood.

    I know Williams claimed he whooped marg's AZZ in sparring right before their fight. Neither guys are stars though.
