    Muhammad Ali in his mid 30's was way too vulnerable for any opponent, not a fair question. What would happen if a prime Muhammad Ali from 1967 fought a Michael Spinks from the mid 1980's?

    Ali would have beaten Spinks easily if they were same age and in their respective primes, Frazier would have destroyed Spinks.

    Spinks never fought a fighter that had Frazier`s work rate at heavyweight no way could Spinks have taken all the hooks Ali took off Frazier he was an elite fighter.

    You exaggerate all the time. There is no 'beat easily' or 'destroy' - there very very rarely is with top top fighters vs eachother.

    Spinks never proved he was a top heavyweight and when therre is a huge gap in power and the ability to absorb power then there are plenty of one-side world title fights, Frazier threw far mor ppower shots than Spinks or anybody he faced.

    Not in 1985, Hagler and Hearns were P4P rated far higher than Holmes by the mid 80`s.

    You were the one whining like a child about the forum so why don't you go?

    Mark's got you well and truly covered. He posts about much more than a micro era either side of the 90's between 160 - 168.
