Oh, it's still great. He was the only one to do it officially over Robinson's first 120+ professional fights.

 

:deal

Though I could see one making the case that Witherspoon and Williams had already beaten him, Spinks coming from LHW to convincingly beat (the first time) an oft-cited Top 5 Heavyweight like Holmes was drastic. A bit of karma for Holmes too, since he chose the Spinks fight to go for 49-0 in favor of fighting No. 1 contender Pinklon Thomas.

 

Fraizer over Ali. The fight was billed and still considered The Fight Of The Century. The biger the fight the bigger the win.

 

Jack Johnson over Jim Jeffries.

Even though Jeffries was slightly over the hill, this fight rocked the world.
