As for Tyson being avoided. Well you may be right, but a lot of it was to do with the Dynamic Duo (King and Lewis) splitting up, at a crucial time. That may indeed been in part, because Spinks did not want to fight Tyson.

But again, that does not really matter; Dempsey was never stripped for not fighting his virtually universally recognised #1 contender Harry Wills, in his seven year reign....
Did you fight then really Britkid? What title did you win?
