    Very likely. Tyson is also a strong candidate.

    I totally agree with this, except I think Spinks could see a second round.
    Still, Foreman doesn't have the "speedkills" ideology of boxing.

    I don't think "facts" is the word to describe this post.

    Foreman by an extremely brutal knockout. Jimmy Young didn't beat 73 Foreman, he beat 78 Foreman.

    I hold "that" Foreman in very high regard. Spinks is a weird mover, but Foreman's jab was longer and how he would hit and push off, I think he'd have Spinks in Hell.

    The same guy that thought a 35 year old Larry Holmes who fought Michael Spinks at 220+ pounds. Looked the same physically as he did at 28-30 years old whilst being 10 pounds lighter says it all really.

    You're the same guy who refused to give zero credit to Spinks for it for some reason. And Holmes didn't look diminished like you want to portray for those fights.
