    Spinks has some of the most underrated defense of his era. TBh tho i don't overly rate his win over Cooney tho i'd call it a "good" win.

    Honestly if you put the best version of sprinks against the worst version of lennox then sprinks is likely going to k.o. him, lennox had allt of power and was very technicall skilled by this time, however age turned his chin to glass. Sprinks has no where near viteli's power but he would land on old man Lewis more often and take him out in a late round stoppage
