          Oliver McCall was a regular sparring partner for Tyson back in the late 80's-early 90's I believe and I would hear him giving Tyson good workouts because he was tough as nails..but I saw a vid of one of their sessions and Tyson KO'd him with a body shot..

            Dude ask him did any of his sparring partners ever dominate him when he was with rooney . Thats what i would ask because apparently his sparring partner a young heavyweight prospect mike williams dominated tyson in sparring so much that they sacked him .

                No but he was considered a heavyweight prospect back in 87 and he told ring magazine that he dominated tyson so much in sparring that rooney sacked him . Afterwards he then went on too loose a split decision too tim witherspoon and was knocked out by buster douglas on the undercard of the tyson spinks fight i think.

                      he didnt knock him with a body shot . He made him quit with a shot to his hip bone.
