Ironically Jackson taught Hopkins how to effectively deal with Southpaws, which would later come back to bite him on the ass when he fought Hopkins in one of Hops title defenses.

Ryota Murata and Adrian Luna Flores, pretty much sparred for every Murata bout since they fought

Miller and Kownacki have done a lot of rounds together.

I think Greg only sparred Ali a couple of times. Michael Dokes and Tony Gibbs probably a better fit.

Didn't Ali have a guy named Shotgun Sheldon?

Cooney sparred with a Walter Santimore.

Wladimir and Ross Purrity, after their fight, if I remember correctly
