    There's been some fascinating sparring stories over the years. Kingpin Johnson beating the **** out of Ibeabuchi, Dubois knocking out Joshua. Any stories of this happening to Lennox or Riddick?

    Tyson supposedly had his way with Lewis in their sparring sessions in the 80's.

    I wonder did the fact of Lennox stopping Bowe in the amateurs make him avoid big punchers a pro? Golota was the biggest puncher he faced and should have lost twice. Just something I noticed.

    It was more due to Rock Newman that the big fights didn't happen than Bowe being chicken.

    Why would Newman do that? He knew Riddick was top level?

    Wait….Kingpin was old enough to spar Ibeabuchi back in the day? That’s crazy
