Yes, this thread is talking about 87 so I'd go for Spinks. Holyfield from early 90's or 96-99 would have beat Spinks.

Which is why he lost the rematch immidiately
Camacho was robbed in first fight against Haugen, he won at least 1 more round and scored a knockdown , so even with point deduction, he should...
I dont think it was because of fighting style only. Some boxers that beat Douglas like Tucker, Ferguson and even later on, Savarese, those guys...
It broke his teeth instantly.
