When you think of fighters...

[jack_the_rippuh]

...who use to try to intentially hurt their sparring partners and had no interest in getting any kind of work done, just inflict damage on their sparring partner almost as if they were an opponent, what are some names that pop into your mind?

I heard Mike Tyson use to try to beat people up in sparring. I remember on his movie where he said, "You have 10 seconds to knock me the **** out." and when the guy didn't knock him out he started beating the **** out of him. I don't know if that was real or just something Hollywood. Anywho...any other fighters?

Wouldn't surprise me if Tyson did do that... My buddy spars my other buddy who hasn't even hit puberty yet(hes 16) and he gets knocked down multiple times every time they spar.

Hasn't hit puberty at 16? How do you know?

I went through puberty when I was 12, or 6th grade. Is that 12 or 13?

Nigel Benn, in his early career, used his sparring partners as bowling pins.

what are you talking about? ive seen this. he didn't toy with benn, they weren't even competitively sparring. its from the summer of 86 in miami and benn is just there to assist an overweight duran with his defense, duran has headgear and benn has no headgear. duran does get playful and taps benn on the cheek a few times, but benn lands some hard shots and corners roberto a few times from what i remember of it.
