Think about it. He's hiding something. Why didn't he allow cameras in his gym during sparring sessions? Because if he got stopped or embarrassed the world would see.
I don't know if he got knocked out cold in sparring, but I know the great Erik Morales schooled his ass and pretty much embarrassed him in his very own gym in front of all his yes-man.
I didn't know this. But all the biug namnes seemed to have sparred each other that we don't even k ow about.
I doubt it. He has never been down in a real fight with smaller gloves. He take a punch very well. I voted he got outworked. That seems more likely to happen on an off day sense he doesn't have a big punch output in his fights.
Ali used to take a ton of punishment in sparring, Tony Tubbs whooped Larry Holmes in a sparring session, Floyd Mayweather had a very tough time with Spadafora, Evander Holyfield was getting whooped by his sparring partners before the Tyson fight. Joe Louis got dropped by Eddie Malcolm (Record 2-14) and the list goes on and on, sparring and actual fighting are completely different. All fighters got hurt at some point in time during sparring, that's what prepares you for the actual fight.
1999
There were numerous reports on this already in the past years. Morales was training with Mayweather Sr. at this time and old Floyd wanted to teach him the shoulder roll. Morales told senior it's not that effective and he would still land on his son. Senior didn't believe and Morales prooved him wrong. Mayweather was the bigger man, but Morales was fast as hell and confused Mayweather with his trademark feints (left feint to the body, big overhand right straight down the pipe). He landed on Mayweather at will and made him quit. Mayweather just stormed out of the ring, because he thought Morales was too aggressive. Since then he was always rooting against Morales (he was partying hard ringside the moment Pac stopped Morales).
What source do you have for him "landing at will" because the only story I ever heard was the exact same as yours except Morales landed one solid punch on Floyd not "landed at will"

When was this?
I cant think of his name, but the one dude embarassed his ass on camera during sparring. Had him huffing and puffing and flopping on the mat after 6. After that, I see why Floyd didn't let cameras in the gym. I dont think he ever got sparked but dude worked his ass.
Doubtful. If it had happened, we would know about it. And its extremely rare for a fighter to get knocked out n sparring anyways. Much less a genius like Floyd.
It could happen when hes was green and started to box,could be hurt later in his carrer not Koed we would know you are right,He is a genius but fighters often dont fight so sharp aand focus on sparring also sparring partner can push to hard when it shouldnt happen etc,you know even sparring parter(stiupid one)want to hurt Floyd so called TBE.
