    Errol Christie vs Hearns, Breland, McCallum and McCrory were top-notch they say around 83-84

    I'd like to see Foreman sparring Cleveland Williams. I asked George about footage of his sparring with Liston. He replied and said 'Yes, there's footage floating around somewhere'

    I’ve seen a clip but I’d like to see extensive footage of Ali & Holmes.

    I never knew Hagler and Parker sparred. Man, that would be something to see.

    Lennox Lewis vs Tony Tubbs
    Legend has it they had some high level educated sessions that made Lewis a better smarter fighter. Tony could box, his jab and ring IQ would make for an awesome sparring partner.

    Bobby Chacon vs Young Tony Lopez. As Tony came of age that hard won experience showed. You could see some Chacon in him.

    I'd love to see Ruhlin vs Ed Martin and Gunboat Smith vs Bob Armstrong sparing films, because I know they exist but I can't find them anywhere...

    Good thread my man, I have always thought and seen, that sparring is some times no, always gives more action than most fights, if you haven't caught Froch/Eubanks jnr please do, one of the fiercest spars you will see, abtw Eubanks equites himself very well.

    SRL apparently had 12 round unofficial fights with judges behind closed doors to prepare himself for Hagler. I believe I read somewhere that Quincy Taylor was one of the “opponents”. Thatd be interesting to see if true.

    Liston must have been too green to take anything away from that, though.

    Ray Leonard supposed sparred with a young Roy Jones. I'd love to see it if my eyes could keep up.
