Michael Spinks vs Tommy Morrison

Morrison would do what Tyson did basically Spinks was good, but not great at heavyweight.

 

Go watch the Vaulin fight. Spinks would murder Tommy.

 

Spinks would have no hesitation about fighting Morrison, just like he had none in facing Cooney. He would absolutely massacre the tanning booth hype job.

 

He finished his career without beating a single top ten contender who was under age 40.

 

Wait… you’re trolling right? Lol If not… Wow

George Foreman and Ruddock weren’t “Top Contenders”?? Ask Moorer if he thinks George was at least top 10 then. lol Yes, over 40 but thats a different story with George

 

Spinks is the much better fighter but his chin at heavyweight is quite average. If Morrison lands clean it might be the beginning of the end. Could he land clean on such a fine defensive fighter in a watchful mood?

It's a strange matchup to visualise.

 

Ruddock wasn’t top anything when Morrison was gifted with an unwarranted stoppage against him.

George was fringe top ten and hadn’t beaten a top ten contender since the 70s when they fought.

These are called facts.

 

Interesting fight, Tommy is a quick starter with a lot of power. Spinks is better overall technically, if Spinks can get through the first 4 rounds I think he wears Morrison down and stops him in 8-9 rounds.

 

This. I've always felt that Spinks was light in the pants for heavyweight.

 

Well if you are picking Spinks so confidently maybe I oughta rethink my pick lol

 

I wouldn't go so far as to compare Morrison to 1988 Tyson (who alone knocked out Holmes).
Spinks who beat Holmes would beat Morrison, and Morrison would never beat Holmes (Spinks 1 fight).
Spinks has more experience, and at least a shade better chin.
Spinks wins; no matter how.
