Now...Who are the most boxers feared of all time.

[ICB]

How do you know? I think that you are underestimating Tyson a little, and don't forget, we're talking about the most feared fighter, not the best. Think about what Tyson did to Spinks (admittedly past it but super experienced). Can you show me anyone of that experience that Foreman intimidated as much?

Well yes Tyson did intimidate Spinks , but Spinks beat an old Larry Holmes ( well thats a matter of opinion ) he was always going to loose to the first big punching heavy he fought.
I remember at the time RING magazine were really believing that Spinks had a chance , in fact they made Spinks the slight favorite , which is a very clouded view.

Larry Holmes summed it up when asked before the fight :

" Spinks Jinx , there's nothing to it , and the whole world knows he wont do it. He'll run around the ring for a few rounds , then Mike Tyson will run him down ".

Larry knew Spinks had nothing to keep Tyson off , in fact Spinks knew he had no chance , hence the fear.

Of course Tyson intimidated many fighters , this is just my theory on the TYSON V SPINKS fight.

Holmes whooped Spinks ass in the rematch, theres no way on earth Spinks deserved that decision. I had it 9-6 in favor of Holmes, in fact Spinks didn't even do enough in the first meeting to take Holmes title. Carl Williams and Tim Witherspoon done better against Holmes than Spinks ever did.
