    The best Schmeling vs the 1985 Spinks. Could he KO Spinks like he flattened Joe Louis?

    Fluke or not Schmeling beat Louis. Michael Spinks got speedran by Mike Tyson. I'm going Schmeling.

    To be fair, Schmeling also would have been roadkill vs Tyson on June 27 1988.

    I'm not sure about that. Tyson would have a shot at beating Schmeling though.

    I'm not one of those guys that thinks 80s Mike Tyson was an unstoppable force of nature. If Schmeling could beat Louis he could beat Tyson.

    This would be a very good fight. I’ve said before, Max Schmeling was an excellent professional prize fighter who anyone would know they’d been in the ring with. Let me think about it.
