    @ 175, I can actually see Mike as causing a minor annoyance to Roy but he has no more than a puncher's chance.

    Otherwise, Roy wins a somewhat close but comfortable decision

    Spinks would do far better than Dell Valle did who actually floored Roy, Griffen made Roy look bad in his first bout v Roy despite being blown out in the rematch, I feel Jone would lose v Spinks if he came out blasting like he did in his rematch v Griffin.

    There aren't many people I would pick over Roy Jones at 175. Unfortunately for Roy, Michael Spinks is one of them.

    Roy can't handle that rangy jab, that sneaky hook, or the jinx. And it's Spinks, not Jones' movement, that dictates the distance and range of this fight.

    I like Jones a lot. I think Spinks is a bit overrated. But Spinks style, size and power are all wrong for Jones.
