Michael Spinks vs Floyd Patterson's opposition

I suspect that he would have slipped up at some point!

 

Why? He didn't in his actual career.

 

Chuvalo and Bonavena are his toughest fights due to size, but I think Spinks beats them on points.

He beats the rest, and if it's a prime LHW Spinks fighting a lbs or so above 175, he'd stop most as well.

 

Needs a rematch against Ingo, that's about it

 

No, but he had very few fights at heavyweight.

Patterson fought a lot of good heavyweights, over a very long period of time!

 

It is not so much a matter of one person being favorite over him, as a likelihood of beating a given three or four in combination.

Moore, Johansen, and Ellis, many years apart, would be a difficult ask!

 

Could he not come in as him prime self and weigh a pound or two more than his normal fight weight?

 

We are talking about fights that happened over a 16 year period here!

If he can come in as his prime self over that period, then I want some of whatever he is on!

 

Cooper would pressure Spinks the same way he did Ali, Spinks wasn`t as evasive as Ali so it would be a case of who lands a good shot first and Cooper`s hook was very quick it`s just that he didn`t set that punch up that well, he couldn`t use angles or anything which could have cost him.

 

Chuvalo would score against Spinks as much as he did v Ali in their first bout, Chuvalo was a tough fight for Ali and Spinks wouldn`t throw or land as much as Ali did.
