    Floyd Patterson s best wins namely:
    Johannson
    H. Cooper
    Oscar Bonavena
    Tommy Jackson
    Archie Moore circa 56

    And since I think he was robbed in these fights, I'll include Maxim and Quarry

    I can't really disagree with those picks they sound very realistic

    The 'Jinx' at Heavy? It may have been a competitive s c r a p but, if Spinks were to score a KD, he wouldn't keep Floyd down. Is Spink's 'jinx' harder than Ingo's 'bingo'? IMO...not. Liston (in his own words saying he'd never hit anyone harder than he did Patterson). Floyd a probable UD, a win nonetheless.

    Spinks wins all of those matchups.

    Spinks vs. prime Archie Moore at 175 is what I would love to see. That, and Spinks vs. Foster, would be my two favorite LHW dream matches.
