    Leon Spinks, he of Ali 1
    Taking on Maxi Baer of the JJ Braddock fight.
    Can Spinks out hustle Baer as he did Muhammed?
    Or does Leon's style play in to his hands and greater punching power?
    15 rounds.

    Tbf I love Leon. So entertaining, so raw. He's all heart.

    But all heart is exactly what you didn't wanna be vs Max Baer. Ask the three ****ers he put down.

    Smart money would be on the hard punching Baer to catch the hittable Leon but if he doesn't I could see the very best and substance free Leon out working him just like JB did.

    Baer of the Braddock fight?

    Leon could probably beat that version. Why did you pick that version?

    I know, your right 'he's no feather fist is max.
    This fight I reckon, depends how serious Baer is going in. He took Braddock lightly and payed the price but Jim did have a respectable chin, Leon I'm not as confident.
    But if he does play silly buggers then maybe he finds himself behind on the cards possibly?

    Because it does give Leon a fair shot, he beat Ali just as Braddock beat Max. But I don't belive that everyone thinks that Leon's going to win this easily..

    I love Leon! But as to fighting Madcap Maxie, he leaves on a stretcher.


    Btw, why do you guys make fantasy fights and always have 1 fighter coming off his career worst performance? Are you a bunch of sadists?

    Sorry Morlocks but I don't think that's the case here. If we'd put Max of the Joe Louis fight in with Leon, then that's a little unfair to Baer.
    But max proably lost to Braddock coz he took him lightly, a serious killer mode Baer against Braddock!? Half kills him imo.
    I don't think it's a completely unfair advantage for Leon here, just gives him a good shot.
