Bobby Chacon-Danny Lopez sparring sessions were well known. I heard Jeff Fenech-Roger Mayweather were good. Rjj did outspeed an old Leonard, but got clocked by a right hand. The Marquez bros would get spanked by Finito for years until Rafa finally bested him. Chavez Sr whipping a young Oscar, Oscar whipping a young Vargas. Morales feints troubling Floyds counterpunching style. Margarito whipping Oscar. Barrera beating Corrales. Angulo whipping Canelo, Golovkin whipping Angulo. Vanes making Chavez Jr look bad. Kirkland whipping Vera. McClelland dropping Michael Moorer.
-Chavez Sr once knocked down De la hoya in a sparring session. Sr was getting ready for the Taylor fight. De la hoya was 17 and Sr was 27.
there's an article at the ring magazine website where they describe a sparring sesion between canelo and golovkin
