Michael was more skilled and had the better punch so he would be the obvious favourite. Not a foregone conclusion,though. If Spinks junior...
Fine fighter. Just a notch or two below the likes of Leonard,Hearns and Benitez,though.
Ali - Frazier 1 & 3 Ali-Foreman (Purely from a tactical viewpoint) Ali-Liston I Holmes-Norton Bowe-Holyfield I
Both Joe and Hank were all out pressure fighters. That's their biggest similarity.
Hearns had more quality wins. The Hitman
We'd have been spared some sad sights such as Holmes/Ali and Tyson/Holmes. Okay,Leonard/Hagler turned out ok but we're talking about a rarity...
Heavyweights - 1971 through 1975. Lightweights/Welterweights - 1940s
Sounds good to me. At 135-140 lbs Duran was nigh on unbeatable
A boxer who's been inactive for over two years does n't get a title shot before beating a top 10 contender
I agree with both scenarios. Both at their best,Spinks is too strong.
Anywhere circa 1972-74 provided Muhammad was in top shape. Best examples being - Quarry II Norton II Frazier II Foreman
Would have made little or no difference to the outcome. Foreman's blows would still have been crashing into Frazier's head and chin
Yeah. Good one
