I also understand that there are a lot of fights that may resemble this fight, but VERY few for undisputed World linear titles I would say, I'll say one thing but,...... a fight like this would have been stopped by a Policeman in any bout in the US, UK & Australia PRE-1920's. Just like Johnson/Burns.
Is This the GREATEST 1st Round Blitz EVER

Well obviously if you only knew Toweel from this vid fair enough, but it may be worth your while to see Toweel beat Ortiz,,..... but Ortiz was past his best. But any world champ from that era had to be good, every champion through the 30' to 50-s was great,..... the only ones close to being bums were Risko and Carnera.Comment

I agree, Tyson V Spinks was a joke, just one punch did it,.... it was kindergarten compared to Carruthers/Toweel................ were talking about a single flurry of over one hundred punches....... Tyson V Spinks was no better than, Marciano V Walcott II or Ali V Liston II... Plus Spinks was half as big as Tyson............. what a disgusting matchup,..... I never even want to ever hear EITHER SPINKs mentioned again...... but I bet I will.
He was plain GREAT at 175lbs.Comment

Yes I am, he was the best LHW of his time I'd rather forget Leon, but I don't think it was as helpful to Tyson's reputation. In Nature, smaller animals wisely know a mismatch when they see one. And this was one of the all-time stinkers. Spinks was crazy to take the fight, the result would have been the same if it was Marciano, Dempsey or Louis were there instead of Mike. Some lesser LHW's do a lot better in the HW's over time than Spinks who is a bit like Patterson, Fragile when handled by dynamite. So you're welcome to mention him in his rightful realm. In many ways Michael was a better fighter than Tyson but he wasn't built for a Liston type. Gee I bet Spinks hated people reminding him about the Tyson fight all those years.Comment

I'm not so sure the victor in this fight should be placed in the same sentence as a prime Mike Tyson. There's a difference. I have not seen this guys resume but he was definitely a bum. He can't even fire a shot while a guy stands there in front of him throwing wild one dimensional and rather weak looking shots? Nah, I'm out on that. Not impressed.Comment
