    Day 5: On a scale of 1-10, how impressive was Tyson's win over Spinks?

    Spinks was 31-0 with 21 KO's coming into this fight. Watching old footage of the pre-fight build up, it was an extremely hyped event. Celebrities were asked to give their opinions on who would win and quite a few picked Spinks.

    Unfortunately, the great Spinks had no answer in this fight as he was quickly over matched in every way and it ended a very impressive career of an ATG.

    How do you rate this win?

      I gave Tyson a 10. How do you get better than smashing a guy out in about 60 seconds of the first round?

        I rate it a 10. It was perhaps the biggest win of his career. Spinks was the lineal and undefeated Heavyweight champion of the world at the time and Tyson KO him in less than 1:29 seconds left in the first round. So I say it was very awesome display by Mike Tyson.

          You are absolutely right. Quite a few celebrities did pick Spinks to win because many of them underestimated Mike Tyson. They thought Tyson was some overhyped and overnight sensation but wow did he proved them all wrong? He was the real deal who could actually fight.

            No fault of Tyson’s but Spinks was just too scared to perform. I know someone is going to say that pro boxers aren’t scared of anyone but that’s how it appeared to me. I gave it a 6

                How do you figure? 4-0 as a Heavyweight going into the fight, and just Knocked out Gerry Cooney in 5 rounds.

                  Because Iron Mike destroyed him.
