    Can someone explain a Tyson/Spinks query to me please?

    Tyson's fight with Spinks was to unify with the IBF belt, right? So why does Boxrec say Tyson had the IBF belt in his previous fight with Tony Tubbs? Error?

      Spinks was linear champ by way of "beating" long time champ Larry Holmes. Spinks was stripped of the IBF belt for electing to fight Gerry Cooney rather than his mandatory, which Tony Tucker picked up by TKOing Buster Douglas.

            Half of them are new threads. You need to offer great advice like I do. And give props to Ruiz.

                Remove user from ignore listneils7147933
                This message is hidden because neils7147933 is on your ignore list.


                What did he say anyway? Prick!

                    I agree in principle, but if you can't reason with someone there's just no point. Plenty of people on here are moronic *******s who think too much of themselves and contribute nothing - hence the usage here.
