    Mike Spinks was shot and was taking a last pay day to support his family after the death of his wife. :patsch

    Are you new to this hobby guy?

    He was the best fighter I ever saw since I was a kid.. He really did have it all, far from the brawler these young clowns make him out to be... But at his age, talent, no family,his wealth, fame, and sharks around him... He was not gonna maintain that level for long... But what he did was amazing and will not be duplicated...

    Wasnt Tua already one foot in retirement?

    Actually, Tua could be Hayes next opponent, after all, he fits the bill

    Tyson should have pulled a Foreman after prison and fought a bunch of bums to get that rust off. He had the wrong kind of muscle and was slower because of it compared to pre-prison.

    His career since 1985 until 1989 was great.

    Are 5 years enough to rank him among the best? Some think so. I rank him in the Top10.

    His post-prison career was mediocre. Loses against solid fighters and wins against fringe contenders.

    If he had cleaned the division again (beating Holyfield, Lewis, Mercer, Bowe or Golota), he could be the #2 or #3 heavyweight of all time

    No doubt of Tuaman was fighting Klitschko you would be wanking off. You would, wouldn't you?

    Mike Spinks was lineal HW champ. Also,people gave Spinks a decent chance and many thought the fight would be a classic war.

    Spinks had speed,power,accuracy and had never been down.

    Tyson beat Tucker,Ruddock twice,Bruno twice. Haye better than Ruddock?
