in "boxing's greatest workouts", it said that nigel benn didn't spar much either. maybe it's a brit thing?? or these two are naturals.

Vlad does a lot of sparring now, unlike in the old days. Calzaghe has so much natural talent that he could get by without too much sparring, but he did spar as much as was neccessary. Calzaghe was fantastic at ad******g while in the ring.
