Spinks was 32 and a couple of years removed from prime imo. He wasn't at his best weight and his HW record doesn't prove he was a true HW. 5 fights 4-1, old Holmes x2 (one of which was very close) Tangstad (who?), Cooney - who had 1 fight in 2 1/2 years prior and pretty much retired straight after and the fight. To be honest I think he gets eaten alive by a few guys in the 90's.
JeanPaulValley is fast becoming the joke of ESB. I went Lewis just ahead of Tyson based on their respective resumes. h2h it's 50/50 between the 2 in their primes but Lewis has a better CV
Wlad is more talented than Lewis and Vitali. Wlad dominates Lewis like Vitali did and knocks him out like McCall and Rahman did.
Quotes from Steward: Wladimir is gonna be the one I dont think I could train a man to beat the way he is. Im serious. Ive never had a fighter I went from Holyfield and all the guys Ive worked with, never, Lennox Wladimir is a very, very committed, very difficult fighter to beat. Because he wont let you fight him. He makes you fight what he wants you to fight. But the biggest thing which I think people are not looking at is his speed for a big man. Tremendous speed. Foot Speed. He can move in, explode, move out, move back in, explode, and Ive never seen anyone that could move in and out and be in perfect balance, "Wladimir has better one-punch knockout capability than Lennox" "Wlad has the best footwork, coordination and balance of any fighter I ever worked with. Hes the most accurate, single-punch knockout guy I have ever seen. A guy can be completely fine, not hurt, and Wladimir can put his lights out with one shot." "Wladimirs coordination is better and he is the most powerful natural talent than any other heavyweight I have worked with." "In terms of jab, Wladimir is the best and after him I would put Lennox. In terms of boxing arsenal, Wladimir is better than Lennox."
Tyson was a glorified bum beater. He is one of the most overrated fighters of all time. He was a one dimensional punching bag. He was a mentally weak punk who always folded like a cheap tent when things didn't go his way. Lost 6 times, got KTFO 5 times, quit twice. He never avenged any of his losses. Either Klitschko destroys Tyson.
Could everyone please put this cum stain of a human being on ignore. Maybe he'll get the message and disappear.
Tyson had the biggest aura of invincibility. Lewis was probably better, though. Prime Wlad Klitschko is a tough match for anyone.
