    Haven't heard of it but it'd be horrible to watch.

    It would indeed be horrible to watch. I recall that he had a couple of sparring sessions with Eddie Mustafa Muhammad around this time.

    I'm pretty sure he sparred Greg Page around this time aswell.​

    Don't like the thought if it...just more shots to the head.

    I know he had a well publicized exhibition with a young Michael Dokes at some point. I can't remember if that was in the late '70s or early '80s.

    I believe that was just before the Young match... Ali was quite chubby/soft in the Dokes sparring session.

    Spent the entire fight in the corner basically, taunting Dokes.

    He didn't come into the Young match too much lighter. :think

    The Page affair was when Page was around 15 or 16.
