        When I went to a Tyson dinner/speach in March, he said Glen McCrory used to beat him up and gave him a black eye.

            Mcrory was his cheif sparring partner, Mike never KO'd him once in all the long years they sparred. Glen lost his luggage on day one so had to wear an ill fitting little vest dodgy shorts his and a pair of plymsoles - they all thought he was mad! Glen thinks it gave him a mental edge lol

                    So... you do know there are other parts of the sport other than a washed up never was who gained fame because the heavyweight division was at its lowest point in history, right?

                    Meldrick Taylor kicked Tyson's ass in sparring quite a bit I've heard/
