Also when were talking chins at lhw Spinks was never even floored and he fought some big punching fuckers. Anyhow alot of the greats have moved up even Hopkins did but there was no fucking Spinks there. So i guess i let Hagler slide for not wanting to move up and take on smaller guys instead of Spinks because god knows boxing just throws you away anyhow. I just can not believe that you mention Tito and not Micheal Spinks as well Spinks on whole another level dude need go watch the 1980s if your going to make a list.


Everybody bangs the drum for a certain fighter, 140... and I guess in your case it's Michael Spinks. A dominant LHW, to be sure.... but consider that LHW has never been a "glamour" division nor one populated by enormous talent and big names the way other divisions have always been (lightweight, welter, middle, HW, for example). I've seen some of Spinks' fights. He certainly is one of the best LHW's ever. But when you factor in consistent level of opposition (not just one or two great fighters) and compare him with some of the others you'd like to remove from the list.... it just doesn't cut it. Many of those other fighters moved up 2 or more weight divisions and were successful. Spinks tried to move up one and was annihilated. Sure it was against Mike Tyson (LOL.... bad timing on his part).... but the fact remains.
