    Tyson's Sparring Partners

    Who did Tyson regularly sparr with? And what happened in some of those sessions?

    I know he sparred with Glenn McCrory, and the only thing McCrory mentioned about the sessions was how Tyson kept giving him abuse for being white.......

          Sure did, Page floored Tyson ( it was filmed ) and McCall apparently was never down in like 250 rounds!

              I read in Lennox's autobiograpthy that Cus D`Amarto stopped the session after one round ( Lewis and Tyson sparred at Catskills ).
              because Lewis was getting the better of Mike. It was Lewis' book i read that so maybe take it with a pinch of salt.

                I think Tyson(1986-1988) would beat Lewis(2002).

                  Maybe the speed and Aggresion of a young hungry Tyson catches Lewis too quick and gets him out of there. Maybe, but the longer the fight goes the more it favours Lewis!
