    Being a keen follower of boxing on tv but only recently looking at it more closely, I often hear the odd comment on here about famous names having 'problems' sparring e.g. Lewis with Ruiz, hence avoided

    So I was wondering who else was reputed to 'given hell' or ktfo a big name.

    Be as scandallous as you like :yep

    Didn't Greg Page drop Tyson as well? Not that it matters much, if you spar enough rounds against decent opposition you'll get dropped eventually.
