    Not sure what that has to do with my last post paul but whatever lol

    Yeah McCall was super tough, he had an ATG chin no doubt, i mean the guy is still solid as an Oak and after the life he has had too....

    He was chief sparring partner for Tyson, seemingly never went down either. I have though seen a vid where he looks a bit hurt and certainly discouraged, he stops the session saying he got hit in the hip

        The second Lewis match perplexes me.

          Apparently he was smoking crack and ****ing three hookers DAYS before it... Guy was CLEARLY not in the mental shape to be in a ring and certainly not one that has Lennox Lewis in the other corner trying to take his head off!

              Lol yeah i say that because his manager or someone was looking for him and a hooker in the street asked if he was looking for The Bull, he of course was and asked where. She told him he was upstairs with another hooker and had 3 of them on a rotation system!!! haha

              Im actually beginning to question myself if that was before Lewis or if it was another fight now though, probably shouldnt have said it until i checked but that story is real or at least it was published in one of my magazines

                  There's actually footage of young lennox beating the **** out of young mike but it vanished. Everyone even Tyson's trainers admitted that the very first time they two met at like age 16-17 Tyson beat Lennox because lennox didn't know Tyson took sparring so seriously. Within hours Lennox was routinely laying a beat down on Mike Tyson with his jabs and clinching. That is yet another reason Mike Ducked Lennox during the 90's. I don't buy all that Don King **** about him being the one to pay Lennox 4 million not to fight Tyson. If Mike really wanted to fight Lennox he would have. Mike was scared plain and simple. Lennox was always the superior boxer, the superior puncher, the superior warrior, the superior champion and the superior human being.
