    Default If you could spar with any fighter?

    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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. 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

    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.

    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.

    Willie pep had a helluva crack to thou, something to watch out for



    all this being said, i had to friends who boxed with me a while back, both light heavys, one of them sparred zab judah and said his left upprecut was incredibly strong, and one of them sparred david haye while he was cruiser and said he wasnt all that a great boxer, he also said glen johnson is a slickster and very very difficult to hit and fight, He sparred Jermaine taylor and said the man is way to competitive, and cracks like a beast. 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.

    I'd spar with Harry Greb. One of the very few 'greats' that you see zero fight footage of any sort of as far as I know and it would be an honor...figure the next best thing to watching film would be to take my life in my hands and exchange eye gouges in person and try to land at least one punch before he made me his woman
