Michael Spinks one of most underrated fighters.

[club fighter]

He is only REAL champ at 175 who won REAL heavy title.And I think you meant to say light heavy reign was one of best ever.And I agree 100%

I was ?? about that one too, as a HW his reign wasn't much to speak of but I think we all agree as a LHW he was top notch.

I was just scratching my head about him saying "HW reign was the best ever" also, I too thought he meant LHW because 2 decisions against an aging Holmes and a TKO of Cooney could not be considered "best ever".

Yep, one of the best LHW reigns. His HW reign was ok too and better than what a lot of people probably expected. Two fights against the man.

I would love someone from LHW to do that today but we may never see that again.

Yea one of the best ever at 175. It really bother me how he is remembered.

He did beat Ali in something like his 8th fight

Tyson wasn't going to lose that night against anybody. It was one of his nights and one of his best (and probably only real) training camps.
I thought Holmes beat Spinks pretty clearly in one of the fights, but I can't remember if it was the rematch or the first one.

He was timid against Tyson. I know he's a boxer, and I know when there's a widely embraced opinion we have to have people argue against it, but I think it's true. He was frightened. Didn't he throw out the IBF title just to get away from him?

Definitely the rematch. He was pissed that fight, especially after.
