Ali was beyond :flabbynsick: when :flabbynsick: beat him though

Larry didn't duck anyone tho. Took a prime Holyfield the distance at age 44. Fought a undefeated Tyson, Michael Spinks, and Carl the Truth Williams.

shyt on a sidenote i was looking at some boxing records, Tyson was Spinks last fight? He was 31-0 at the time. and 31 years old. Prime for a boxer. Tyson made him quit boxing forever?

Michael Spinks never liked boxing..he just happened to be good at fighting...That Tyson fight gave him a nest egg for him to retire on. He also had knee problems as well. It's a shame that when he's referenced its usually because of that fight...dude is a gold medal winner from being on the GOAT Olympic boxing team of all time, light heavyweight champion (lineal & undisputed)..one of the all time GOAT light heavies, first Light heavyweight champion to become heavyweight champion (lineal)..an all time great

I remember Tyson telling the story of how Ali climbed unto the ring and whispered in his ear, "Kick his ass for me", referring to Holmes, because of how Holmes beat the buffoonery out of Ali. Mike said that he hated when Holmes beat Ali in that fashion. That's why @NYC Rebel and I can share the sadness after watching a young:flabbynsick: beat the pus out of Ali.

Good drop, I admit my spinks knowledge is lax as fukk, the last time he was relevant was due to tyson and that knockout is all you pretty much here about dude. He is portrayed as a notch on Tyson's belt

That was the fight that solidified Mike as "The baddest man on the planet"
I still remember my uncle saying "If somebody went to the bathroom they missed it" and we all busted out laughing :obama:
