    It's an old one but when Ricky Hatton was a young pro he got dropped in sparring by Robin Reid.

    I know that when McClellan and Moorer where at the Kronk together Moorer refused to spar with G-man because he beat him in the amateurs and he feared his power

    Anthony Small bashed up James DeGale in sparring Jim McDonnell had to pull him out.

    Anthony Joshua has also dominated Derek Chisora in the gym

    Anthony Small...smells like bull**** to me. He does more posing than fighting so I can't imagine him beating up anyone. That spar would be a gayfest between him and DeGale.

    it happened. DeGale was going full throttle when it was Smalls first day back in the gym from a break. Small turned it up and really started hitting DeGale with some big blows. Jim McDonnell and Smalls trainer got involved in a tustle as well.
