@TheGatorfan93 Well he WAS robbed....Holmes should have knocked him out in the 14th but....Even the announcers thought Holmes won....It wasn't lopsided by no stretch of the imagination but Holmes CLEARLY won the rematch...He lost because he ran his mouth about the judges before the fight....

Spinks vs Foster!..shit, what a great fucken fight that would be!

Michael Spinks is a great fighter who is very very under rated in my view. Definetly the greatest light heavyweight champion of all time. He achieved so much in his very short career but that was probably that best way to leave boxing. With a lot of money, Making your mark in the sport and most importantly with his good health intact because he can now at least enjoy the rest of his life to the full. He new enough to know when to leave the sport and not leave everything in the ring.

Not many heavyweight boxers went into the ring with Mike Tyson in his prime. Michael Spinks fought a prime Mike Tyson which is something Lennox lewis didn't do. He waited until Mike Tyson was way past his prime then challenged and beat him. Don't forget that Michael Spinks was really a light heavyweight who gained weight to campaign as a heavyweight boxer and challenge Larry Holmes for the world heavyweight title because he new that the big money was earned fighting in the heavyweight division.

Michael Spinks is the greatest light heavyweight of all time Followed closely by Archie More and Bob Foster. He's the first light heavyweight boxer to win the heavyweight championship from a great reigning heavyweight champion called Larry Holmes. Michael Spinks then went on to become a very good heavyweight champion. Never losing either his light heavyweight or heavyweight championships in the ring. Only losing to Mike Tyson in his prime, making him a great heavyweight too.

RIP Butch Lewis.

Leaving aside the heavyweight stuff, Spinks was the 2nd best light heavy of all time. Only Ezzard Charles was better.
That's the reason why Hagler kept crying and pleading for Sugar Ray Leonard to come up from welter to fight him (until he actually did) instead of being a true 'great' and moving up himself to fight Spinks. A fight with Spinks at 175lbs would have been Hagler's worst nightmare.

Wow, what an incredible shot by Michael. He was a much more talented fighter than his brother.

@cstrait I fully agree that Michael has a secure place in the top five all-time best light heavyweights. He had vicious power in both hands, was elusive, and could take a good punch. As a heavyweight, he did a hell of a lot better than any other light heavyweight, but he just froze against Mike Tyson. Then again, I think Christ would have frozen in front of the Tyson of that day.
