    But with a twist.....Tyson moves down to light heavyweight. With rigorous training, Tyson makes the 175 pound limit. We're assuming same day weigh in. Does Tyson still KO Spinks?

    Prime Mike often started out fast and finished early, only looking to satisfy himself….Spinks on the other hand was known on at least one famous occasion to have suffered from severe performance anxiety, unable to stay erect for more than a minute and a half….it may be a pick’em.

    That’s my 2 bobs worth

    Tyson at 13 years old was bigger than 175 pounds the only way this fight could take place is if you had a child version of Tyson fighting Spinks.

    Chop off Tyson’s left leg and arm. He makes 175 without those limbs. Spinks then keeps moving to his right in those herky jerky moves the way he did as there was no hook to worry about. Tyson hops after him and manages to get the odd right hand in. Either Spinks UD or Tyson lands a good right about round 6 while Spinks is too busy bent over laughing thinking what a **** easy payday this is and scores a KO. How about Tyson at 160 or 147? He’s a heavyweight and the closest to a weight devision outside of that would be Cruiserweight. Even then he’d be weight drained. No chance he gets down to 175. Pound for pound I’d say Spinks boxes for the majority of the fight and busts Tyson up. At heavyweight, well we all know what happened there.

    No way. Tyson was far too big to make 175lbs even as early as 18 years of age.
