Who was the more fearful of Tyson: Spinks or Seldon

Agreed. And Spinks has similar facial expressions going into some of his fights against unranked light heavyweights.

 

I think if Spinks had somehow weathered/dodged the early onslaught, he would have given a better account of himself; never got that impression from Seldon's performance. Spinks would have still likely lost, caught by another heavy Tyson shot, but not until a later round.

 

I remember watching the young heavyweights in the early 90's. Bowe, Mercer, Morrison, & Seldon all were solid fighters. Seldon was my favorite though. I thought he had the jab, the movement, & the speed to be something. Guy had no chin though.

Spinks looked scared and fought scared. Spinks did fight though. I don't know who was more scared but Spinks tried and took hard punches. Seldon was looking to get out of the ring.
