Who did Tyson ever beat? His resume is pretty bad.

[Haka]

Yeah, only to HW champ, but not higher?

...Of the era, too much telegraphing creates a rhytm which makes it predictable to pin down the target. See James Tillis, Douglas

Tim was black balled by Don King. He had the right stuff in the mid 80's to defeat Tyson. IMO, he would have been Mike's best win if they fought, or he could have lost.

I'm not arguing that he has or not the right stuff, I'm talking about time line, from 1982 to 1986 he fought great competition starting with Mr. Sniper and ending with James Smith, among the renowned boxers Larry Holmes 0-1, Bone Crush 1-1, Tony Tubbs 1-0, Pinklon Thomas 0-1, Gregg Page 1-0, Frank Bruno 1-0. Mike Tyson debuted in 1985, by 11/86 he got a shot a Berbick, by 03/87 he was taking the belts from Smith, who has knocked Tim out at the end of 86, and 05/87 was Pinklon Thomas. They could have fought in 89-90, but Tim was putting back on track his career after his ko lost to Bone Crush.

So you’re actually now trying to argue that those two fights weren’t either way fights?.

I am not arguing anything.

Spinks beat Larry 2x

Give him his credit

[djtmal]

Well, you are.

You’re arguing e.

I am not arguing. You are.

Spinks beat Larry.

Larry lost 2x.

They were competitive fights.

You a Floyd boy so you used to one sided cherrypicks

[djtmal]

You also said Larry Holmes was in his prime in 1985/86. Which he wasn’t.

Like I already said if you can claim Manny was still in his prime because he was #2 p4p with 60+ fights been ko'd. Then undefeated lineal champ Larry was too

[Oracle01]

He beat a bunch of opponents that would school AJ and Dubois, and likely this version of Fury also.

[CasperUK]

Michael Spinks is a great win. But who else?

Old Larry Holmes coming out of retirement? Bruno?

Mike's record is so so thin.

He fought the best that was around.

[djtmal]

I have never said Pacquaio was in his prime in 2015. .

Yes you did you lying mofo whenever I said Manny was shopworn you would counter with his p4p ranking like he was still a prime undefeated fighter

Spinks beat Holmes at his best 2x show some respect
