I don't know maybe after being destroyed by Iron Mike he lost all his confidence.

Because he was a little **** talking cross eyed punk. Tyson slapped the taste out his mouth.

There are fights, where you lose your prime in a single bout. When you fight a fight like that, you are never the same. A piece of you stays there.

Spinks was far from a ***** though.

Mike was just an animal. He only had one word in his head-destroy.

Spinks deserved the beating he got cuz he was mouthing off claiming that he was the true champion because of lineage. Tyson beat that idea out of his head real quick.

Michael knew he had slipped and didnt have anything to offer or anywhere to go. Michael was smart, it was a passing of the torch type deal. Michael stated years back in a boxing magazine he retired because he came to a roadblock (Tyson) and he couldnt go to any other division and couldnt do anything better than he had done in his career.

Michael was a smart man inside and out of the ring, he knew when to pass the torch and when to hang them up.

Dont dissrespect one of the greatest Light Heavyweights in history.

Sweeney-Im picking Judah over Spinks due to Spinks not training, but im pulling for my boy to put the Jinx over Judah for a second time. But please use your head nobody is getting knocked out in this fight, both fighters are to strong for that.

come on Dan...your calling one of the greatest lightheavys of all time who won a legit heavyweight title a ***** with no heart?

He was obviously outmanned by Tyson and got out at the right time. Nothing left to prove. In no way was he a ***** with no heart. That was Tyson at prime and Spinks had no chance whatsoever in that fight. Everyone knew it going in.

Spinks was the true champ at that point and Tyson proved he was the true champ after they fought. Isn't that what its all about?

prove it in the ring...and Tyson did
