    I agree with you. I thought Holmes was definitely on the downside when he fought Spinks but he was still damn good as he proved in the rematch that he should have won and even in latter bouts against Mercer, McCall and Holyfield.

    Wow. Do you consider Spinks H2H as the best Tyson win (hiding out the way he lost) ? Better HW than the rest of the field Tyson fought?

    @Jamzy ⭐ : Can you add a poll to this?

    Spinks was an excellent highly skilled fighter. As a light hwt his punching power was just awesome. (watch his one punch KO of Johnson).

    I never was impressed by Tucker and felt at that time as I do now that Spinks would outbox him for the win.
