A three fight rookie Andy Lee gave then world champ Jermain taylor a beating in the famous kronk gym.the future was so bright :yep
Absolute bullcrap. The first time that Lewis & Tyson sparred. Mike tried to rough Lennox up. Ever session thereafter Lennox handled Tyson easily. Thats why Lennox knew he always had Tysons #
I think it was on a Lennox Lewis documentary, basically neither Tyson or Lewis could get sparring in there hometowns so they agreed to spar. Tyson came out and beat Lewis up in the first session, but after a week of sparring Lennox had adjusted and handled him easily.
Not that it constitutes as "big" but PW kicked Margo's ass in sparring, which is why he had to ****in sue Bob Arum to get the fight booked. And credit to Margo for actually parting ways with Arum to sign the fight...
I was around the gyms in dallas & ft worth throughout Kirk and Ike's careers. I never saw Ike & Kirk spar together.:bbb
Actually the Meehan story explains Haye's choice of opponents at heavy, noone tall that can fight...........and why he ran all night from the **** NV.:think.........and why he has changed his mind about the Klitz.:good
