Famous Heated Sparring encounters

[The Gully Gad]

Yeah, in the book The Last Great Fight it mentions that Tyson was knocked down in sparring before the Douglas fight. Apparently it was caught on film but I've never seen it.

Apparently Tua and Golota had some heated sparring that had to be broken up.

I know that Sonny Liston and George Foreman used to spar. Not sure how serious they took it, but it would be great to see.

Clegg ive seen the pic of Tyson being dropped if that helps mate
It wasnt anything dramatic from what i could make out from a pic
he got dropped though still....

I've seen footage of Greg Page knocking Tyson down in sparring.

You can see the Tyson-Page knockdown here:


1:50

Ali (then Cassius Clay) supposedly outboxed an out of shape Ingemar Johansson when Johansson was preparing for the third fight against Patterson while Ali was just an amateur/beginning his pro career.

Mac Foster KO'd Sonny Liston which was a big deal at the time.

Joe Frazier always went all out, I believe he KO'd Norton and beat up Holmes in sparring.
