Without doubt it must be a huge benefit.. especially confidence wise if you can hold your own in higher company (unless you are getting slaughtered of course)

It's also a matter of the depth of the talent pool.

I think quality sparring is number 1. We look at Riddick Bowe I think he wouldn't have been champion unless Tyrell Biggs didn't beat the shit out of him everyday. I feel he probably wouldn't have done anything as a heavyweight.

Early on Nigel Benn did not spar but after his first defeat he learnt that sparring was essential for timing, tactics and working on combo's.

Re: How important is quality sparring?
sparring is very very important, it does not matter how much natural talent you have without sparring you are in trouble.
It is one thing to be able to move and adjust but another when actuual punches are coming at you,
EG- Southpaws
Orthodox Fighters have trouble with southpaws due to the fact everything is coming at them in different angles then used to, they also have trouble in learning to keepo their lead foot in the right place, jabs are not the key to fighting southpaws lead rights are but if you are not used to throwing lead rights you are going to have trouble all night
practice it with a moving target that is throwing back at you then that is a different experience all together
anyone who thinks sparring is not important is not someone I would listen to

Ali said he practiced his defence technique sparring and having Holmes sparring with him to get in condition must have helped against Foreman.

Sparring with southpaws is the best preparation for fighting southpaws bar none.Originally Posted by DaxxKahn
