Tyson and Hopkins

[them_apples]

I like both these fighters, however..why does Hopkins get so much credit for beating Trinidad, and Tyson gets no credit for beating Spinks. Is it because Tyson destroyed Spinks so badly that people think he ******?

Both Spinks and Trinidad were undefeated, both of them moved up in weight - but proved they could **** with the higher weight class.

Why is Spinks a blown up heavyweight? he handed Holmes his first loss and beat Cooney?

Did it seem that Spinks was already falling backwards before he was caught?

Spinks isn't a joke like you make him out to be, He frequently gets rated as one of the best light heavyweights.

Trinidad was considered one of the best welterweights. I don't know about his ATG standing at middleweight.

same difference, I don't see how Spinks became a joke, he was just as big at light heavy as Trinidad was at welter.

trinidad didnt have enough fights at MW to get an ATG standing there, but he was still knocking people the **** out when he ran into b-hop and i guarantee if he had run into any other MW of that time other than b-hop he would have ko'd them too

Hilarious you call Michael Spinks a "joke."


Which serves a good lesson to all fighters to, as Floyd Patterson advice to Tyson was: Remember what got you there. Which means for Tyson: Catskill Connection {Rooney and Catyon} and Motivation to train yourself Mentally and Physically.

didn't Spinks knock out Cooney? I can't see why Spinks doesn't have the same standing as Trinidad.

Because there is a serious lack of available footage of Michael Spinks outside of his two controversial wins over Larry Holmes.
