Word on the street is that during the build up to the Tyson- Douglas fight, Mike Williams killed Mike Tyson with a jab while eating a burrito with the other hand. Tyson was buried in a NY cemetery and Gary Coleman was given some black shorts and told to fill in as best he could.

I heard he broke his back in sparring one time, but carried on the sparring session. Despite the back injury being 'spinal', Mike fought through the pain.

Haha, I'll never forget the look of being dead ass serious when he said that.

It the greatest and worst inverview of all time, just that he seems to believe in what he's saying at that particular point in time LOL!!

Classic!

Anyone heard any old tyson sparing stories? Any of the fights that he didnt look good in the sparing leading up to the fight? Any insight to what other people have said about sparing with him? Everyone knows about friday ahunyaha and greg page dropping him. any other stories?

About Ahunanya I didn't hear .
But I heard (from TGA) that McCall quit in a sparring session against him.
I also heard that McCall dropped him in a sparring session.
I think there is at least another one who dropped him in a sparring session , either Dokes , Weaver , or someone different from their circa , maybe I confuse him with Page , but maybe there was another one.

While with Rooney Mcall and Mike Williams would give Tyson trouble.
But you have to remember, when preparing for a fight, most sparring partners only have to do 3 rounds at a time while the main fighter has to put in a full 8 or even 12.
Rooney had Tyson spar 12 rounds, Monday-through-Friday for four weeks before a bout. That's why he was razor sharp by the time of the fight.

McCall loves to talk about how he roughed up Mike all the time in sparring. I don't doubt he gave Tyson some problems. But usually fighters put their toughest guys in for the last few rounds of sparring. So there's a chance McCall walked in fresh as a daisy after Mike had already put in 9 hard rounds.

Sugar Ray Leonard has talked about doing that same thing and pointed out that his sparring partners were having their way with him as he prepared for Haglar.

I think it says a lot that even today, people are fascinated to hear about Tyson losing rounds during sparring.
That speaks volumes as to how good he was while focused and properly trained.
