Michael Spinks vs Artur Beterbiev

It would be a good fight for the first 6-7 but the relentless pressure, strength and power would get the better of Spinks. Beterbiev by stoppage within 8.

 

Just cause other guys hit harder than him doesn’t mean he didn’t pack a big punch. I can’t believe this is even a discussion.

 

Probably should have worded it differently. Tyson punches hard, like pretty much any heavyweight does however his punching power was never his selling point like many make it out to be. His speed, elusive offence, knowing angles and other atributes were. Point is Tyson is not an ATG puncher in his division by any means, Beterbiev however is.

 

Michael Spinks.

 

Welllll---> I agree Tyson did not hit around the very hardest, & guys he fought 5X total even hit harder-Bruno, Ruddock & Bonecrusher.
Those factors do account for much of Tyson's success.
But he still hit very hard, just not a fairly rare "10" in power!

 

So you feel that beterbiev posseses more power and strength than marvin Johnson or puts more pressure on that Dwight qawi? Or is there a stylistic thing you see happening? Not trolling just curious why you think artur would succeed where those others failed

 

Hes bit biased towards modern fighters never mind him I doubt hes ever watched a full fight of Michael Spinks at Light Heavyweight.

Beterbiev by stoppage in 8 rounds is actually laughable.

 

Beterbiev hits harder than Tyson?

 

LOL, no AB doesn't hit harder than Tyson. I was messing with the OP. He said don't say AB hits harder than Tyson. So, I said it. A weak attempt to sound like an AB fanboy.

 

Cool lol. Gotcha

 

I think we pretty much agree then

 

Spinks, and I don't even really feel like providing a concise argument regarding why. Just Spinks

 

I am trying to come up with something that Beterbiev does better than Spinks, but I can't. Outside of comparable, similar power, Mike is clearly better at everything.

 

Mr. Splinks is really something.

 

Tyson at 12 years old was knocking out grown men, and won his first 19 pro fights by knockout, 12 in the first round. He's absolutely an ATG puncher. Maybe he didn't hit as hard as George Foreman, but he still hit really ****ing hard.
