175's Golden Age

[ICB]

Michael Spinks imo has always been underrated as a great boxer. All people remember was the 1st round ko to Tyson. But the guy was an amazing fighter. Lineal LHW champ and Lineal HW champ.

His one punch KO of Marvin Johnson was very impressive, as was his war vs Yaqui Lopez. One of the best Light Heavyweights of all time IMO.

As for the thread who can't root for Matthew Saad Muhammad, pretty much most of his title fights were FOTY candidates.

That left hook he finished Johnson with was so hard it rattled Johnson's ancestors! (Hat tip M. Ali)
