    I don't know if there will be any dilemma here. Spinks is a really early, early knockout. Michael was already knocked down before that...
    I would also emphasize Holmes, because that was the only time he was knocked out in his career; but I choose Spinks.

    Yes that was a great ko win for Tyson.
    Poor Marvis never stood a chance.

    No one else even came close to koiing Holmes.Even tho Larry had been out of the ring two years, it's still a very impressive win.
    Back in 1988 Tyson was on ****ing fire!
