Who would it be? past or present.
Remember to take into account your size, and perhaps ability.
I for one take floyd mayweather, i wanna experience first hand how good is he really? and perhaps see if i can crack him at least one good time

jack johnson.
One of the greatest defences of all time.
Just being in the ring with him would be the greatest honor considering all the crap he had to go through!
I would love to be in the presence of great fighters like Joe Louis and watch them at work at their peak if I could time travel but spar with him would be a brutal murder and there would be no enjoyment.
More realistically it would be Herol Graham because he would not punch back but make me look like a tit chasing him.
Roy Jones Jr. at his best.
Or Ricardo Mayorga.
I would go in with a great defensive fighter like pep, sweetpea or floyd just to see what it's like throwing a punch and hiting air with no-one infront of you anymore. Throwing your fastest jab and still getting countered over it with a right hand.
I'm about 83Kgs so if was younger and fitter I could probably safely get down to 79kgs -Light heavyweight. Trouble is i haven't sparred since my late teens and i was never brilliant even then. So getting in with a light-heavyweight they are handing me my ass on a plate! Having said that get me Brandon Rios and i'll let him know what it feels like to be smacked by someone way heavier than him.;D Seriously tho there are a couple posters on Saddo i would pay good money to see get safely mullered in a sparring session by the boxers they slag off or accuse of having no heart, a weak chin, no pop etc etc:box3:
Margarito. I want to see how hard he actually hits .
I will seek someone who will give me the greatest challenge, who will force me to use my fighting abilities to its full potential and who would give me an excellent work-out.
I could spar with Charlie Zelenoff anytime.
Im about 200lbs so any Bantam weight should do
Willie Pep.
The best defense possible with elusive movement and a lack of pop in the punches so I wouldn't get killed while improving greatly movement and offensive.
Margarito. But I'D get to use the plaster this time.
yeah but dammit that would be scary as hellQuote:

But the best guy was Hopkins, he said Hopkins was slick, and if u hit him hard, he would immediately crack u with a better shot...probably to keep the mental edge, which makes me realize its probably what he does in his biggest fights . Very interesting to hear these things being a fan.
Not sure who your friend is but he has seen some serious action to spare with all these guys.Quote:

Can I say Bob Arum? Does that count?
Im 15 stone so it would be a heavyweight and i did a bit of boxing training on and off for about 10 years, I would pick tyson cause hes my favourite heavyweight and pray he took it easy on me.

i would love to swing a few punches at Hamed or calzaghe.
Although he's a light middleweight and I'm currently cruiserweight, I'd deffo give Saul Alvares a run for his money. Although his stats are W44-L1-D1, which would prob mean I'd be number 45 to be laid out with my back on the canvas, I'd like to get in the ring with someone with such a record to show I've got balls to get in the ring knowing it's likely I'm gonna lose. :jabbing:
Theres many for so many different reasons one is hard to pick. Floyd,Winky,Roy,Kostya would be all fun, I wouldnt pick any Id think I had a chance at.
I'd like to spar 1982 Muhammad Ali and see if I could take him.
take in to account my ability? and my size?
what does that mean? I wouldn't have thought there were too many known profession boxers of any era at about my weight I would last very long against
