Mike Tyson of 1988 vs Billy Conn of 1941, 15 rounds.

You're an odd one for making this prediction?

 

What do you mean?

 

He throws flailing, over telegraphed punches (which were not straight) and is not too specific about where they land, he also had a tendency to get into a wild frenzy and looked kinda funny when he did it, like a petulant woman almost. I'm not trying to be offensive you will see this if you watch his fights.

 

Spinks was an ATG light heavyweight with one of the hardest punches in the division

 

My comment was on the technique (or lack thereof) of his punches not on the power.

 

15 rounds makes it interesting, since Tyson never had to show the stamina to last that many rounds.

Let's remember kids....Ring Magazine said that Tyson was the best six round heavyweight...but...if he didn't get his opponent out of there in 6 rounds...he started to fall apart! Billy Conn was no Michael Spinks. Conn is one of the best P4P fighters of all time! Easy fight for Tyson?....no!

 

Not in a million years, Tyson destroys him in 3 rounds tops.

 

Well whatever Spinks did, it worked. It's not exactly robbery to compare him with Archie Moore or Ezzard Charles. In fact, on the right night, Spinks could have realistically beat either one of them. At 175 or heavyweight. In fact, we have yet to see a light heavyweight that prime Spinks couldn't have potentially beaten.

 

Nope. Absolutely not. Come off it.

 

What do you mean?

 

No, Tyson stops him inside 6 rds.

 

Billy would not last more than 3 rounds. Tyson once he truly connects, will coldcock him.
