Now we're just playing word games. He's not prime but he's not shot what does it mean? Holmes comes into the Spinks fights in the low 220's like...
Thats exactly why Holmes would have always looked bad against Spinks. Spinks would have always made him come to him and force him to fight in a...
You can say Holmes was not at his peak when he fought Spinks but you cannot say he was far removed from his prime. Spinks beat a good version of...
I call BS on that. Spinks making Holmes come forward is what makes his legs look bad. Handspeed, reflexes, snapping jab. All still plainly on display.

Between the Witherspoon and Williams fights Holmes went on a four fight stoppage streak. I don't buy that he's already past it when he fights...
When Holmes fought Spinks I saw him fight another boxer who was every bit as good and skilled as he was. 30 rounds of boxing. Thats no fluke. He...
My question is if Holmes and Spinks both stopped their common opponent (Cooney) and both fought on equal terms against each other then aren't both...
