So if that was his natural weight, how could he simply have been just a blown up LHW? Again, you've exaggerated because it doesn't suit your agenda. Do you seriously think that just 'any' guy could have gone up and beaten Larry Holmes in 1985? You can't just say 'Mike just beat up a LHW' it's ridiculous. In 1988, Michael Spinks had PROVEN that he was a very good HW. Stop hating and be logical.
I am being logical, a guy who spent a majority of his career at LHW, started at middleweight, and had a walking around weight of 187-192 sounds like a LHW to me, and I have no agenda. I'm just telling it like it is.
I didn't know Spinks fought at Mw as a pro.. He was a big LHW. He also had a very low body fat%, even less than most marathon runners, he was a legit HW after Mackie Shilstone got him ready.
Spinks would be top 10 alright, a top 10 LHW or cruiserweight. And you're out of your mind if you think a 39 year old Larry Holmes would be top ten. My ****ogy was only poor to you because it made sense. RJJ and Spinks both started their career at MW both were reigning LHW champions who challenged for the HW crown. Not sure how that was a poor comparison.
Roy started at 154, Spinks fought at 165 as an amateur and LHW as a pro.. He was naturally quite a bit larger than Roy. I have never understood the comparisson.
Roy started his career at MW. And Spinks started his career at 168, these are things you can look up.
Evander Holyfield would have beat him. Holyfield was in his prime at the same time and was always able to take a good punch, with his relentless speed, strength and stamina.
I don't need to look them up you are wrong. Roy had a 100% KO ratio at 154 and I dont believe 168 was around when Spinks turned pro.
