Today is the 20 year Anniversary of the Mike Tyson vs Michael Spinks Heavyweight Championship unification fight. Tyson, who was on top of the world, showed Spinks no respect as he tore him down in 90 seconds. Spinks, who was 31-0, finished his career at 31-1. What that means people is after he was KOd by Tyson he never fought again. Spinks was no tune-up chump or anything, he was an actual real 2 division champion. This goes to show you how lethal Mike Tyson was back in the day. Spinks had never been down, and within a moment he was KOd for good. Damn I miss the good ol days when we had a Heavyweight Champion that actually KOd his opponents. I miss the day when Tyson was really the Baddest Man On The Planet. As I look at the Heavyweight picture, that is what we are missing. When this fight happened, there was no doubt who the Champion was. There was no 4 different titlists. It was Mike Tyson and then the rest were somewhere behind. Well for those who yearn for the days of a real badass champion like I do, please enjoy the video. We may not have one like this for a long time.
