    Ive read numerous times that Moorer and McClellend spared a few times or so but never heard of how it played out.
    Any insight on this?

    I read that McClellan used to beat Moorer, but everytime i read about Moorer sparring, he is getting beaten, i think they probably said that things because he was a big fighter, i doubt he wasn't doing anything in any sparring session, everytime i read his amateur fights, he always lost the fight.

    If Moorer was a full sized LtHvy, and McClellan was a MW (he went after the SMW title against Benn and was injured), then probably Moorer throttled back a little. But sparring is just sparring.

    I know Toney owned Gerald in sparring from what I've seen of their footage....

    Right about sparring but ive read alot how Gerald took sparring as an all out fight thats wat sparked my curiosity about sparring with Moorer since both were very temperamental.

    The Kronk closed in 2006 but re-opened in 2015!

    They said Mays owned Hearns as well.
