    Most of Pac’s sparring partners.

    Israel Vasquez, martirosyan, Mikey Garcia, provodnikov, postol, Porter, linares, Khan (May have been champ already), benavidez jr, Jose Ramirez, Holt, Forbes, Ortiz

    Last 3 were probably already champs.

    I thought majority of champions spar witb less experienced bright prospects and its the norm.

    AJ sparred with both Wlad and Tyson Fury

    Wilder sparred with Haye and Wlad.

    That would become an insanely long list, because many champions were sparringpartners for reigning champions early on in their careers.
    It's not something that happens from time to time, it's common.

    Someone more on the lines of Larry Holmes, as he didn't seem to be a product of Olympics or great amateur career. Not an amatuer with a promising career that sparre,d but someone who rose as a result of being just a sparring partner.

    foreman was an Olympian so that would not have been a good choice, I see your point.

    The examples I'm looking for!

    I'm not sure if Honeyboy Devalle could be considered one. While he sparred for Roy I guess he had a decent amateur career, him and his sister I think.

    Says a lot about how great Pac is if they are all his sparring partners.
