Mayweather was unfit for that spar, was knackered, he spoke about it, it changed him, never let it happen to him again, always kept himself in shape and near weight afterwards.

Yer I thought as much.

Spadafora has bloody lived off that spar for years!!! Lol

That's because he's the only one who has ever done it as a pro. He's entitled to.

Benn could never knock out Duran.

I stopped reading right there.

Oh come on. Benn couldn't even beat Eubank and he was nothing special. They were clearly behind the elite names of the sport...

Not when he's done absolutely nothing in his career since.

Sorry mate.

I believe there is also video of Valero getting the better of Leo Santa Cruz.

There is a lot of good sparring footage of Valero out there, at least when I checked last.

Ronnie 'The Shark' Clark dropped Ricky Burns in sparring???

I never knew that.

He'd be rotting in a jail cell where he belonged. If he had not killed his wife he would have had a good career, he was a real tough motherfu**er, a pressure fighter who broke his opponents down, exciting fighter to watch.

His sparring videos are great, he always got stuck right in, almost like watching a real fight.

I have filmed so many spars over the years, the Duran and Benn was just a move about, Eugene Maloney was also in the ring with Duran,
Eubank and Douglas was a good spar,
Witherspoon and Currie
Watson and Mugabi,
