Floyd Patterson s best wins namely: Johannson H. Cooper Oscar Bonavena Tommy Jackson Archie Moore circa 56 And since I think he was robbed in these fights, I'll include Maxim and Quarry
Spinks knocks out Cooper early Spinks knocks out Johansson mid-late Spinks wins unanimous dec over bonavena Spinks stops Jackson in mid rounds Spinks knocks out a 56 Archie Moore late
The 'Jinx' at Heavy? It may have been a competitive s c r a p but, if Spinks were to score a KD, he wouldn't keep Floyd down. Is Spink's 'jinx' harder than Ingo's 'bingo'? IMO...not. Liston (in his own words saying he'd never hit anyone harder than he did Patterson). Floyd a probable UD, a win nonetheless.
Spinks wins all of those matchups. Spinks vs. prime Archie Moore at 175 is what I would love to see. That, and Spinks vs. Foster, would be my two favorite LHW dream matches.
