Do you think a guy like Cory Spinks would beat Floyd Mayweather at 154 lbs ?

    I haven't even responded to (or looked at) the poll, since without qualifying the question with a particular version of Spinks there's no way to give an accurate answer.

    depends on which Spinks shows up. Void is void.

    Around 2004/2005 when everyone was hanging off Arum and maxboxing's every word that Margo, who fights like that ****** from million dollar baby, was a threat I stated that I thought Spinks had the best chance to upset May. Now, thats a different story- I think Spinks is past his best, but from 5 years ago Spinks style, speed, defense would give May a stylistically tough fight.

    No **** no!

    I actually appreciate Spinks but Floyd has too much of.... lets see...... EVERYTHING!

    Judah swung Spinks round his head like a f*ckin cat in the rematch. What would Floyd do? Plus, Spinks isn't as motivated, have you checked his recent personal life?

    Hell no!!

    Spinks was a fine boxer but his lack of power is the problem here. And I say this because Mayweather usually comes forward/fights more aggressively against southpaws..and against one that cannot hurt him, Mayweather will be putting the pressure on.

    Floyd breaks him down and wins at least 8 rounds.,

    The Spinks that fought Judah the first time I think would have made an entertaining fight, would he win i doubt it but who can you favor against MW?

    I think Spinks speed would have some sucess, how much and for how long who knows. I wouldve liked to see it. Now Spinks too past it.

    Sphinx crushes Floyd with his high workrate and iron jaw.
