    Some of this seems dubious. Evidence ?

    This has intrigued me since i read about it in a Ring article. It said the 14 year old Ayala got the better of the THEN welterweight champion. It claimed Pipino just kept muttering "incredible" after the session. Ring said it was a 4 round session

    It is in the January 1982 Ring magazine. I have been unable to find any other documentation.

    It has been completely overhyped by idiots on this board.

    Was it Greg Page who dropped Tyson in the build up to the Buster Douglas fight?

    The way Tyson mentions it in his recent documentary i dont think it was somethign that happened too often

    No he didnt.

    Tyson would frequently cut through sparring partners like a hot knife through butter.

    Unlike Tyson's other sparring partners McCall was durable enough to give Tyson good rounds. Nothing more.

    Jeff Sims got a lot of mileage for splittting Ali's lip in a sparring session. I'm pretty sure it was before the Larry Holmes fight. Ali wore a mustache in a lot of pre-fight publicity photos.

    He certainly did. There's a video of it somewhere as well.
