Michael Spinks vs. Tony Tucker

Spinks by decision. It would probably look somewhat like one of the Holmes/Spinks fights.

 

Tucker decision...he was not as good as Holmes but was much fresher...

 

Tucker via 7-5 decision.

TNT also might finish it with a big bomb, like the monstrous uppercut he landed on Tyson, which lifted him off his feet; Spinks (& most others) would've been sparked cold by that nuke.

 

spinks never fought an in form a-list heavyweight. Tucker was unproven, what was his best win, douglas quitting on him?

I still favour Tucker, youth, miles on the clock, size, above all at that time tucker had a beter work rate than holmes with the same reach.

 

Tucker. Late ko.

 

Spinks by decision. Greatness usually beats goodness.

 

Tucker was a good fighter but not as much of a winner as Spinks.

Could go either way but I'd say the Spinks that befuddled Holmes would squeak out a decision here.

 

It would of been an IBF title fight...

 

My money would have been on Tucker. If he'd fought as well as he did against Tyson.

 

It would n't have been a good fight to watch. Very slow in places.

 

But what if he fought as bad as he did against Douglas?

Spinks was more consistent, I think that may of given him the edge.

Spinks WM15 (8/7).

 

Don't know much about drugs but I think Tucker could soundly stop Spinks at his relative best and lose a marginal decision while at his worst form .
Tucker was no Cooney , he was durable and had more idea about how to fight.

 

Spinks UD.

 

But Spinks was n't a great heavyweight,though a good one. His greatness lay in the lighter division.
