    I think Spinks would bewilder Frank and batter him late.

    Berbick would be pretty 50/50 but I would pick Frank, as he hit harder and had better technique.

    In 1986 Frank Bruno would have been a hellacious opponent for both those guys at that point in time. He might even have pulled off an upset. But at the same time it’s hard to envision him getting wins over both of them. He might have been too strong for Spinks but was also an inferior boxer to Michael. Berbick blew hot and cold and might have been beatable for Frank but Trevor DID get the big win over Pinklon Thomas that year…. I think these fights are up for grabs honestly. Probably competitive

    Good one Stevie.
    Out of the both I think Spinks has the better chance of beating Frank.
    He had that awkward and unorthodox style, plus underrated power.

    Berbick tough, he'd try and bully his way in there, try and assert himself, which could give Frank a great chance of smacking his jab in his face and getting that right hand in.
    I'd say the fight s a 50/50 one.
