    The Sprinks that beat Holmes would rip Rocky to shreds I’m afraid. Taller heavier longer reach faster on his feet faster hands better skills. Oh and tougher skin less likely to cut. Did I leave anything out? Rocky wouldn’t be able to stop the punches and wouldn’t be able to get in a solid shot. Rocky’s tough may last a few rounds. 5 rounds max probably earlier.

    Like the dwight fight only Rock so more dangerous for Spinks. Brilliant clash of styles in a war .Marciano comes from behind for a late KO

    I saw Spinks against a young, prime heavyweight.

    Rocky KO Spinks

    I saw Mike against Steffen Tangstad which is more appropriate a measure.

    Spinks KO8

    No, it's really not. Tangstadt isn't even a pimple on Marciano's backside. And Rocky is no quitter.

    Rocky just didn't have the sort of opponents who would make him quit. That's what's great about facing geezers and white dopes.

    You are really good at what you do man :lol: I’m watching a bit of Myung Yuh Woo? Do you like that guy? Will you post something nice in that thread or… Myung is smaller then my neighbours dog so with all the decisions it’s hard to get through his 10 year title reign.
