    Let me explain this to you Lancey and pay attention.

    Spinks has 3 good wins on his resume.. Qawi, ****ey and Holmes2x.. Now he only beat 1 guy on that list of 100 ATG's and that's ranked 77 Larry holmes.. Where is Gerry or Dwight on that list?

    Secondly Bradley has wins over 2 of the top 100 ATG'S on that list Pacquaio and JMM. So I'm definitely inclined to think Bradley should be ahead of Spinks and deserving in the history books.. And Spinks getting wiped out by Tyson doesn't do much for refuting my case.

    Next time learn a little bit about the sport before you go off on a rant, because that post is cringed.

    Top 100 is just stupid, and I mean ****ing stupidity at its worst. Anyone that even claims he's a fan couldnt squeeze tim in any top 100 list that wasn't only top jww's, and that wouldn't be easy

    Refute your own personal $hitty opinion of those guys? I'd rather waste time talking to a toddler about physics. Which is probably what it would be like doing this with you all day.

    Look, you think Tim Bradley is greater than Spinks. Fine, you are entitled that opinion. Don't expect many others to agree. Well, maybe on this board you will.

    I really don't care if anybody agrees with it, but I did make a case for it. But anyways I really don't debate GGG fans because I've found them to be very delusional and besides they're just Pac fans who jumped ship.. Peace doe

    You don't get to call others delusional when you make as $hit statement for Tb to be ranked higher than Michael Spinks. Only newbies would agree with that, and still, only the dumb ones. You're probably too young to even know who spinks is, or have seen him live. :patsch

    The thing is you're stuck in a place where you think past fighters are always greater then modern day fighters.. if you think that you're as gullible as you already make yourself out to be on this forum, and I'm 32 and you're right I've never seen Spinks live but have seen his fights and I've actually inherited a huge library of old fights some of his main ones with ****ey and Holmes, so I'm up to par on this debate.

    Again it's pointless for me to debate GGG fans..

    And to add, spinks shouldn't even be rated that high imo... Somewhere closer to 100 which is still great and I also feel Bradley should be placed closer to 100 as well, just in front of Spinks.

    I had Pacquiao as the winner in their fight and scored the Marquez bout a draw. Spinks is more often then not seen as the king at LHW during one of the (if not THE) division's best era. I don't think Bradley's got the resume to be placed above Spinks. Spinks grabbing the HW title is/was a massive achievement.

    I went with "No", but only because there wasn't a "Not yet" option.

    He's not the fastest, biggest, strongest, most talented, most feared etc. but the man knows how to win.

    If he wins on Saturday, and I think he will, he'll solidify himself among today's P4P elite and as one of the best of his era.

    Top 100 ATG is fictional and too subjective. ATG and P4P and any other label where you try to compare lightweights vs heavyweights is silly.

    A professional boxer in any division who was ranked top ten and has more wins than losses is a pretty impressive athlete. Any fighter that wins a world title in the ring is even more impressive. Champions who win multiple world championship fights are remarkable and deserving of a distinction. That distinction is Hall of Fame Fighter.

    Tim Bradley will be in the boxing hall of fame.

    I'm a fan of Pacquiao and GGG. I didn't jump ship. I still like Pacquiao. I still like Donaire. I like anybody who fights a lot and gets a lot of knockouts. I'm a fan of the fan friendly style of boxing, dramatic fights, and aggressive fighters. I like Kovalev and Roman Gonzalez too for the same reasons. I feel I've been pretty consistent.
