Who is more underrated by casual/newbie fans than Michael Spinks?

[Richard Wadd]

a legendary ATG and people only remember the Tyson massacre.

Unfortunate.

[Ham Porter]

Judging by the total lack of interest in this thread, I'd say not many.


I regard him as the fighter of the 80's.

Very sad. Say Michael and Mike went to war and Tyson won by the skin of his teeth, Spinks would be given much more credit, he beat a better heavyweight in Larry Holmes.

Ricardo Lopez is as overrated as Spinks is underrated, which is tragic.

Maybe Barney Ross?

Spinks was an ATG, another boxing family with some real talent and knowledge, real boxing fans know about Michael Spinks.

He came into the tyson fight simply for a paycheck, it was pathetic

Like FMJ the Spinks family have a great legacy in the sport of boxing. Michael got caught up in the hearsay of Tyson's power imo. Lots of people did.

I don't know but he was an great light-heavyweight champion and doesn't deserve to remembered for his 91 seconds against Tyson.
