I spank him, i talk to him and even take away his favorite toy but it still don't work, how do i deal with it?


Answer
Children of this age normally try to acquire some autonomy and decide things for themselves. And you really do have to let him have his way as much as you can without letting him endanger himself or make life very incovenient for you. Or else, he is going to have psychological problems later on.

"Toddlers are constantly striving for more independence. This creates not only special safety concerns, but also discipline challenges. The child has to be taught, in a consistent manner, the limits of appropriate vs. inappropriate behavior."
....
"It is important for parents not to follow into a pattern of negative behavior with yelling, spanking, and threatening of their own."

Here is advice from a pediatrician about how to parent such children:

PARENTING TIPS

The toddler years are the time to begin instilling values, reasoning, and incentives in the child to conform to accepted rules of behavior.

It is important for parents to be consistent both in modeling behavior and in addressing appropriate vs. inappropriate behavior in the child.

Positive behavior should be both recognized and rewarded.

Time-out may be initiated for negative behavior or exceeding established limits.

The toddler´s favorite word may appear to be "NO!!!" It is important for parents not to follow into a pattern of negative behavior with yelling, spanking, and threatening of their own.

Teach children names of body parts.

Stress unique, individual qualities of the child.

Teach concepts of please, thank you, and sharing with others.

If not already reading to the child on a regular basis, this is a good time to start -- it will enhance the development of verbal skills.
