    no but I sparred two boxers who would later become world champions after they turned pro. doesn't really count because they were amateurs and I had more experience than them at the time we sparred.

      I recently watched a 42y/o former amateur probably middlewight, spar with an undefeated, nationally ranked professional cruiserweight prospect.
      Boxing lesson.

          Deantay Wilder spars against old shot middleweights as well as fighting them in the pro game!?

          Edit: thought you said heavyweight not cruiserweight. Joke ruined

                I sparred a dude that's a pro. Not a very good pro, but even the bad pros are tough. He was so hard to hit it was fun though. He fought Mayweather too so it was interesting.
