    Probably not, but still Tyson was not a very hard puncher, it's more that his punches came in bunches and at unexpected times and places.

    Beterbiev gets knocked out in about 5. He's too easy for Spinks to hit

    Spinks without hesitation. He's too versatile and smart for Beterbiev.

    Anybody who doesn't think Mike Tyson is a hard puncher:
    A) Has never boxed before.
    B) Has no understanding of boxing. Even as a spectator.
    C) is a certified moron.

    Going 100 mph down the ad hominem road is a bad way to make your argumets. Mike Tyson hits pretty hard but his punching power is not spectacular at heavyweight. George Foreman, Earnie Shavers, Deontay Wilder, Lyle etc. all hit harder than him even by his own admission. Consider the following video where he pretty much agrees with my assessment too: https://youtube.com/shorts/XCeSHi46v8g?feature=share4 . I guess Tyson DKSAB, big boy ;)

    Artur Beterbiev (Oleksandr Gvozdyk) would beat Spinks; now he's an old man

    AB hits harder than Tyson. We all saw what Tyson did to Spinks. AB does 5 times the damage in 30 seconds, not some 91. LOL

    Spinks by KO Beterbiev gets hit too much, and has been shaken up and put down by the likes of Callum Johnson. The difference is Spinks is an ATG puncher and H2H is one of the best Light Heavyweights of all time.

    Spinks, most likely. I can see Beterbiev touching him up, though. Both talented amateurs, as well.

    Beterbiev gets hit way too easy, Spinks would tee off on his big noggin and it's lights out around 6 rounds.
