Michael Spinks retired too early.

Thoug I agree there was nowhere for him to go and no way for him to beat Tyson, I think he should have fought on atleast to not go out on a loss like that. If it were me, I woulda wanted to win 1 more fight---I mean, undefeated, never been knocked down even, no shame as 1 poster said losing to Tyson, why not take another fight and go out on a positive note?

Makes him look a bit like a goddam fucking sissy to bow-out right after getting blown-out in 90 seconds. LIke a dog running away from the sport scared with its tail between its legs.

Win 1 more fight, at that time ST Gordon and Carlos DeLeon were making noise in the cruisers, he coulda went and fought again to go out on a sweet note---the note he went out on will forever remind us that he was a loser in his last performance. And boy did he lose that night. Then he acted like Tyson took his soul. He quit forever.

But Spinks was semi-retired when he fought Tyson. If it weren't for the money he probably would not have fought at all.
