Well if we rate fighters purely on their last performance in the ring, like many (not just yourself) are doing to Spinks, what are we to make of Ali, Robinson, Leonard and Tyson then?
You are somewhat off there BK. Ali, Robinson, Leonard and Tyson didn't just have a lousy "last performance", they had lousy last years. Notice the plural years applies to each one. In Tyson's last four years he won one fight by stoppage and got stopped three times. Leonard last few years were a draw (loss) to Hearns in the rematch, a win over Duran in number 3 fight, a decision loss to Terry Norris and several years later a stoppage to Hector Camacho Sr. Robinson piled up losses like crazy from 1961 to 65 when he retired. Ali should have stayed retired after Spinks II, but had to come back and get stopped by Holmes and then the next drop a decision to Berbick, making him 1-3 in his last four fights.
