    Best track record of sparring mates becoming champions

    Pacquiao had several sparring mates who have gone on to be successful boxers with belts. Some better then others. Mickey Garcia, Shawn porter, Ruslan, khan, Beltran, Ortiz, mayfield.

    Historically, which boxers have had the best sparring? Chaves had jlc. I believe Duran had Chavez. Ali had Holmes and spinks.

        Every fighter spars with someone better than them as that is how you learn. So, everyone was someone's sparring mate at one point.

        Although there is a difference between a journeyman/average boxer being used for sparring like Beltran and a prospect like Porter and Khan sparring with Pacquiao. The former "normally" doesn't have any hope to do well and is a designated punching bag of sort, while the latter is using the experience to go up in levels. So, the only name that stands out is Beltran because no one expected him to do well.

            Two up and coming fighters that Pacquiao sparred that have potential of getting a world title are Zou Shiming and Lydell Rhodes

                  What I'm really curious about is if there are other boxers that have sparred with this many champions? Usually, you hear random sparring sessions like Peterson mayweather or Chavez vs. de la Hoya. But pacquiao spars these guys for years. Then they end up being champions. Wondering if there are others.

                    Who knows??boxers have sparred with pretty much most of the other boxers sometime in their boxing careers.
