    I thought Tyrell Biggs was his best performance personally, or Pinklon Thomas. Even though it didn't result in a KO he fought well against Tucker too, I think Tucker only won 1 round.

    I have to say Spinks. Spinks was actually a very good lite heavyweight back then. Tyson steam-rolled over him.

    i watched tyson the documentary and was shocked to hear mike say he caught ghonohorrea off a prostitute a week before the berbck fight but was too embarrassed to tell his team or go to a doctor as he was supposed to be nowere near girls leading up to the fight for 10 weeks so tyon said he was burning up like a sauna in hell! hahaha.

    Spinks a "very good" light heavy:patsch Murray Sutherland, Eddie Davis, and Jerry Celestine were "very good" light heavies. Micheal Spinks was a top 3 ATG at 175.

    i think tyson looked best against biggs and thomas , these fights went longer than the spinks fight so tyson could show more of his skills

    When did we last have a heavyweight title fight where one guy where the bigger of the two weights in the two-twenties and the smaller in the two-teens?

    I always thought what he did to Holmes was impressive. Larry was far from shot and the fact that a few years later he was beating Mercer, says alot about how Mike just destroyed him.


    Sadly though Mikes toughest fight is with his little girl right now, and I hope it turns out better than what they are saying.

    Berbick stands out for me. Spinks was a good win but he was coming up from light heavy.
