    Ya'll must be bugging Mike Spinks is top 10 maybe top 5 all time at 175. Jumped up to heavy, dethroned Prime undefeated Larry Holmes beat him 2x and only lost to prime Mike Tyson.

      Spinks was unlucky to run into this truck.

      Who knows how many brain cells died when he got KO'd.

      HW champion retiring after 1st round KO loss doesn't look good, so probably that's why.
      Tyson barely landed a clean blow on him. He hit Holmes, Pinklon Thomas, and Jose Ribalta a hell of a lot harder than he hit Spinks for that one punch ko. Spinks was ready to lay down and collect his check. All time great lthvy thought and that is often overlooked.
