          Its actually a very overrated win though. Reason being:

          Spinks was set to retire, he was inactive for a year. King pulled him back in with a pay day - and very likely wanted spinks to lay down. Spinks got a huge pay out and took one punch. Not only does it seem fishy, but why is a guy who hasnÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt fought in a year fighting a prime Tyson?


          He was set to retire

          He was inactive for a year

          King wanted to pay him

          King wanted him to take a dive

          I think you set the record for most lame excuses in one paragraph

            I am not caping for anyone. I dont even like Floyd the person. I am not even arguing criticism. I am arguing the fact people will not openly admit they hate / have jealousy towards Mayweather, Ward and Calazage for whatever personal reasons.

              Don't King didn't pay for dives.

              His top fighters often lost when he controlled them. E.g. Holmes-Spinks; Ali-Foreman, Tyson-Douglas

              I don't even think Don King tried to protect his fighters. He suffered from a short-term greed which motivated him to go after the best fight for the biggest money, regardless of the risk to his fighter's title. (Which often worked our well for us, the fan.)

              When his fighters lost he just stepped over them and made a deal with the new guy.

              Don King didn't protect fighters, he used them.

                I do think Don King pays judges. Don King never loses even with an upset happens since both guys are usually signed to him, like Benn-Eubank. Don't sit there and think Don King was happy about Frankie Randell knocking down Chavez. Without that knocked down they was going to rob Randell. Don knows which fighter brings in the most money and which fighter he favors for the overall greed. Randell didn't get a fair shake in those rematches neither did Ken Norton against Ali. They robbed Ken Norton.

                  Nobody really even cares about Ward or Joe that deep to even criticize them that much, Floyd moreso because he will go ten rounds with Conor McGregor then yell tbe. He will barely outpoint a shopworn fighter then yell tbe

                  If you want to cry about these guys having critics create a crybaby section then all you cats can commiserate in peace

                      Just for shlts and giggles, I asked ChatGPT if Tyson defeated any prime, elite fighters:

                      It responded that Spinks was the only one, with the caveat that he was "arguably" prime and elite, due to being a natural light heavy and never tested by a top heavyweight.


                      I also asked if Mayweather beat any elite fighters. The response is very interesting -- 4 prime and elite, and 1 "arguably" so (Canelo).

                      ..



                      It also mentioned Marquez as prime and elite, but left him off the list due to being "undersized."
