    Always happens after a good win.

    To be honest these threads are kind of tame compared to what I was expecting. I thought we'd at least see one "Beterbiev beats any former Heavyweight champion" style thread.

    What a record Spinks had.

    Marvin Johnson
    Eddie Mustapha Muhammed
    Dwight Muhammed Qawi
    Larry HolmesX2
    Gerry Cooney

    Marred only by the one bad night against a human wrecking ball on his best night.

    And unfortunately that's all he'll be remembered for. It's the first and only fight that springs to mind.

    I wish Spinks had a few more fights so people could have forgotten his loss to Tyson.

    Amongst the causals.

    Yeah, it's too bad he couldn't have picked up a cruiserweight belt. If I remember correctly, Holyfield was just about to jump to heavy, so it might have been feasible.

    Utter nonsense.

    Spinks was never off his feet at light heavyweight. This is a casuals comment from someone who only ever saw the Tyson fight.
