    Men call themselves women these days. Wrong is wrong.

    Spinks.

    But he was the best HW in the world from the moment he battered Berbick

    Spinks, Unofficially

    but between the Berbick win for the WBC title and the Spinks win Tyson cleaned up while Spinks fought only Cooney. So, by the time they fought Tyson was seen as the best HW in the world. Tyson was interested in fighting often, unifying titles. Spinks was interested in $$. He was 31 and can't blame him. He milked the Holmes wins as long as he could but $$ and public pressure enticed him to eventually face Tyson because the boxing public was knowledgeable enough to know that Tyson needed to beat Spinks to be truly considered to be HW champion.
