'88 Michael Spinks vs '99 Evander Holyfield

I think Spinks beats Holyfield from the 1st Lewis fight. He had no energy in that fight. The Holyfield from the 2nd Lennox fight eekes out a Decision against Spinks.

 

Spinks by decision. I think the version of Holmes he beat was better than 1999 version of Holyfield and would clearly outpoint him.

 

I was going to vote for Evander but you changed my mind. Well done.

 

I don't think Spinks would have ever beaten a Tyson but his legs were way gone in that fight and fights up to that you could really tell be was having problems moving it almost looked at times he was about to fall down.

 

I thought he looked great in the Cooney fight. His footwork was a big reason why that fight ended the way it did. I don't buy it, especially because the Tyson fight ended early.

 

He was just trying not to get hurt. He was way at the end of his career and while I have huge respect for him that was a huge none effort by Spinks.

 

I actually think he fought more aggressively than anyone Tyson fought in his 80s title run. Maybe Berbick cut it close?
