Who Ranks Higher As ATG Michael Spinks Or Mike Tyson?

well the dude i quoted acted as if it was irrelevant all the while claiming that it comes down to who each faced and beat (irrespective of performance etc) and if you're gonna size em up that away i would think at least a mention of the fight would be in order

 

I did about 30 posts ago.

 

it depends on your view of how one achieves atg status. everyone's got an opinoin. unless comp is heads and shoulders far superior there are other things to consider imo. i'm not sayign tyson is "higher" i'm inclined to think it's not clear cut spinks by a wide margin (tho i'd have to up my knowledge on the lhw division in the 80's to really take a position)

 

dude forget it. all of my comments are directed towards one specific post by a different poster. i realize that you have considered the tyson-spinks fightoutcome and that you believe you put it in the propper prospective.

 

Cheers

Spinks by a country mile. Was an undisputed champion in 2 weight classes & fought & beat betetr opposition. The fact that Tyson beat Spinks doesn't put him higher in an ATG list. His brother Leon beat Ali in his 7th pro fight...........do you rate him higher than Ali in an ATG list. I don't think so.

 

maybe your ranking is right but how can you compare leon's eeking out a decision versus a feeble minded ali with tyson destroying a presumably prime 29 year old mike spinks in 91 seconds?

 

Tyson before Don King destroyed him.
