Steve Zouski fought Tyson a lot more bravely than Spinks, and I don't think he ever even cracked the top 10. But Spinks's loss to Tyson was not the most pathetic. That honor would go to Bruce Seldon, or perhaps Clifford Etienne. It's a toss up.
He bettered Larry Holmes and Gerry Cooney, better than anyone else had up to that point. He took a 12+ years unbeaten record off of Holmes, and he dominated Cooney much more than Holmes did, despite giving away 20lbs+ to both. He was a warrior at Heavyweight as well
George Foreman KO'd Cooney in one round. So he's better than all of em!
Foreman won in the second

And Cooney was comming off a 30 month retirement, having been sparked by Spinks; so thus The Jinx ruined him.
Cooney also admitted to going on a drinking binge weeks before the fight....
