I don't think that gives us good ground to question Spink's heart. he had proved that many times before. Anyone who gets into a ring has to have some bravery and heart.

IMO, the only people who question boxers' hearts are those who have never had their own aortic credentials fully examined themselves.

Great analysis...Spinks tried to fight Tyson throwing punches instead of running...but that night Tyson was the best heavyweight on the planet and M. Spinks paid the price...right on about the heart check too
