Michael Spinks was financially savvy with his $$. He made millions from the Holmes fights and he made a huge payday fighting Tyson. I guess he decided he didn't want to get punched in the face for a living anymore and he had the financial means to get out the sport

Also Spinks had very bad knees.

I was going on what I remember reading at the time. Butch Lewis (Spinks' manager) claimed that he put 20 million in the bank the morning after the fight. I'm not presenting it as evidence in a trial.
And you sound very childish talking like that.Last edited by Scott9945; 12-28-2012, 11:09 PM.

Where was he going to go? He was scared to death of, and was nearly killed by, the top heavyweight. And he had gone through a ton of physical changes to go from a bony LHW to a muscular 208 pounds; going back down would have been real tough, especially for a guy his age.
