    How do you see this open weight tourney playing between 4 LHW men who all managed to capture the HW championship.

    Semi1: Spinks vs Patterson
    Semi2: Charles vs Tunney.

    I think Patterson would stop Spinks, and Tunney would outbox Charles.

    And then Patterson would decision Tunney.

    I'm going Spinks to stop Patterson and Charles to outpoint Tunney. The Charles to edge out Spinks on a close decision.

    Very close set of champions!

    I pick Spinks as the weakest, right now I make Tunney better than Spinks, beyond that it's a real toss up.

    This is a really good, competitive tournament. I tell you, you can make a good case for any of them. If you think Spinks weak (we're talking Michael, right?), review his KO of ****ey. I don't recall any of the other guys taking out a giant like that. But like I said...you can make a great case for any of these former light-heavyweights.

    What Patterson wins at 175 would you point me toward to believe he would "destroy" these guys?

    Tunney the best technical boxer ever as hwt champion. Superbly conditioned, smart, one of the best jabs ever, lateral movement which Charles lacked with right hand power.

    He stops Charles late.

    Patterson is very over rated. I pick the underrated Charles to do the job.
