At heavyweight, Spinks was actually about the same size as Ali. Even though Ali looked impressive against Williams, he wasn't exactly the most...
Yeah it is. That's why I think Fraizer eventually gets to him and halts him.
Correct. And Holyfield was 205 lbs. Now, I don't think that if Holyfield was 195- 200 lbs, suddenly Douglas vs Holyfield would be like a 10...
It seems to me that it's been arbitrarily decided that no fighter under 200 lbs could ever beat a fighter over 200 lbs. I.E. a 199.99 lbs fighter...
Well I meant any fighter under 200 lbs whether or not they fought at heavyweight. But if Holyfield was around before 1980, at 190 lbs, he'd have...
I considered Louis to be 200+ lbs that's why I didn't include him. From 1939 on, he was about the same size as an early 90s Holyfield or even...
I forgot about Dempsey and Tunney. And I was referencing the cruiserweight version of Evander Holyfield before he moved up to heavyweight.
Leon Spinks.....big fat NO! Michael Spinks, I think the heavyweight, 200+ pound version would have to show up for that party. That's why I...
With Patterson and Spinks, I think they could be so closely matched that something would have to break the tie and I think it really would depend...
To me, Holmes and Ali bridged the gap between modern super heavyweight sized heavies and the previous cruiserweight size heavies. Those 2 could...
Walcott and Spinks would be a classic. To me, their styles sort of resemble. The beefed up Spinks was slightly larger than Walcott, but I...
That could be a factor too. If Spinks freezes or forgets his tactics, it could be an early night.
Sounds reasonable. I can see that happening. I'd probably lean towards Walcott myself.
So do you think he'd win by stoppage or decision?
For some reason, I always thought that he'd be elusive enough to avoid the left hook at least for a few rounds and be able to effectively utilize...
