    What Lt.Heavy did Mike Tyson lose too?
    Cooper wasn't much heavier than most Lt. Heavyweights, and wasn't close to the skill level of the very best fighters in the history of the division. At least in my opinion.

    Smart call.

    I honestly think that Spinks could have fought at super middle, and he was exceptionally hard to beat head to head, unless you had a major weight advantage.

    He did get as low as 170. He probably could have made 168
