    Spinks could have beaten everyone of these Light heavyweight. Not saying that would defintly happen but it is possible as Leon was stronger than any of them and usually in great shape and could punch much harder than any of these guys.

    I can't see him beating Harold Johnson and even though it was at 190, Qawi totally squashed him.

    If it's the Spinks from the Ali fight, he definitely beats Foster, Durrele and Eddie imo. I can see him losing a clear decision to Johnson though, and getting stopped by Saad. Two bad match-ups for him, one in quality and the other in style (although Saad is a lot better than Leon too)
