Im the idiot? Harris has KOd only ten people in his entire 15 year career. Of those ten people Lyakhovich is the only one who I rate anywhere near the top ten and even then it was relatively early in his career as a contender and only one fight after his dreadful performance Ahunanya. Besides, dont forget that Brewster is the same guy that went toe to toe with the china chinned Etienne and couldnt even make him budge much less knock him down. Show me all of these iron jawed guys that Harris knocked out. Jeez the guy has one decent knockout on his record and you go ape**** like hes Mike Tyson and Sonny Liston rolled into one. And Im the idiot... Let me guess, you are one of those morons who thinks Roy Jones could leap tall buildings in a single bound and dodge bullets...
Russell which of Harris's fights suggest he was a big hitter? Lyakhovitch was dropped by Brewster ,but Brewster is slow afoot, and often can't capitalize when he as a man in trouble. Harris is a moderate hitter imo, he couldnt even put Williams away ,and he had chin issues. ,.
You got a source for that by any chance. I always wandered why those two didnt like each other?! Or should I say why Arreoladoesn't like Haye. As Haye doesn't seem to talk about Arreol
Zack Padilla-Genaro Hernandez saw this one and pretty even Zack Padilla- Shane Mosley Heard they both gave as good as they got but Mosley also ended Padillas career Padilla had a brain hemmorage from the sparring session Shane Mosley-Genaro Hernandez Heard they both did well with each other but Mosley busted Genaros nose before his fight with Delahoya which is why it busted so easily against Oscar. amatuer Ali-vs Willie Pastrano,Ingemar Joahnanssen heard the young Clay schooled both of them Cyclone hart-Tim witherspoon Witherspoon said MW Hart stung him pretty good. Good friend of mine Efren Chavez who fought Tapia to a draw (he should have got the win)has told me accounts of sparring sessions with Richie Sandoval Said Sandoval was the best Albert Davila Said Davila had to much experience Paul Gonzalez Said they were even but Gonzalez had no power Paul Banke Said Banke was tough Hector Lopez Said they were even Rudy Zavala Said he schooled Zavala Camacho-whittaker Amatuer whittaker reportdley whupped cAMACHO Breland-Mccory Umarov-Martinez Ipitan-Bowe Ipitan dropped Bowe
I doubt that Haye sparked Arreola cause for all the crap he talks about Chris he would have loved to brag about doing so and ive never heard him say that,at least not in the ring interview.
I have some footage of Nigel Benn sparring with Roberto Duran - not sure exactly when it was from but I'm guessing around about the Benn versus DeWitt sort of time - Benn holds his own pretty well really - interesting to watch though
Local boxer Michael Ward dropped Ray Leonard when Leonard was preparing for Norris. I heard Roy Jones sparred Matthew Hilton and Jones dominated Hilton so bad that they stopped the sparring session. Heard from someone in Ray Leonards camp that Ray sparred with Pryor in Cinnanati and dropped Pryor with a bodyshot.
Duran - Laguna, everyone has a different account of what happened but I'm sure it'd be a interesting one.
Hearns was known to go easy on young fighters in sparring which bothered Emanual Steward, since Tommy didn't use his right hand in sparring so as to not hurt the younger guys -so when the fight came Tommy was not used to throwing his right. So Emanual did not like using young sparring partners with Hearns. Tommy went too easy on them and got bad habits in fights, so he always had Tommy spar top contenders usually.
How were the Tua-Golota sessions Hook? That must have been some brawl! Who got the better of it most of the time?
The late-Jerry Quarry legend has it used to brutalize his late younger brother Mike Quarry in their frequent sessions back in the day. Jimmy Young also used to be a Quarry sparring partner in the early-70's.
I hear Golota dominated Tua to be honest. Supposedly Golota was as consistently good as he was vs Bower without the mental issues in the cool, relaxed gym during his sparring. No crowd, no anxiety disorder, etc. I heard that Hart sparked him out.
