    I've read some unverified accounts of supposed encounters over the years, such as Dempsey-Johnson in Canada, etc., but this is the first hint I've come across on these two ever sparring. Do any of you know if there was a first person recourse of Hutch saying this?

    Could well be true. Even the greatest fighters can be decked in a gym session. By all accounts every man and his dog has a "I once flattened Ali" story
