    Spinks can come in at whatever weight you think would best suit him.

    Spinks UD on superior power, speed, consistency and overall athleticism against Sharkey's superior ring generalship

    Spinks before his knees started falling apart was a lot more consistent so I’d have to with Spinks as the favorite, but if Sharkey shows up focused it could go either way.

    I'm a big Sharkey fan but favour Spink's unorthodox style here, could be a great fight though.

    I've never thought a lot of Spinks as a heavyweight, Sharkey beats him late

    Technically speaking, Sharkey would be a cruiser by modern standards. So if you think that Spinks would have done well or perhaps even been an ATG at cruiser, then you have to give him a good chance vs cruiser sized heavies.
