    I didn't really feel like Spinks win the 2nd one and Kovalev with hydration isn't far from that

    And most people think Kovalev beat Ward the 1st time ?

    Don't be silly Holmes is historically way greater than Kovalev and had more of a size advantage than Kovalev did.

    Kovalev has 5 x documented fight night weights at LHW, each between 181lbs and 189lbs. He was nowhere near 20lbs heavier than Ward. In fact, Ward may have been a little heavier on the nights they fought. Either way, there won't have been much in it.

    There are about 8 on my list. He averages 185 on the night.

    Spinks is visibly a bigger LHW compared to Kovalev.

    Holmes is greater than Kovalev historically but Kovalev was in his prime and Holmes was past it

    It's still a much better win and most people think Kovalev beat Ward the 1st time.

    This shouldn't be a back forth discussion it's quite simple.

    Holmes---> Kovalev by a considerable distance.

    Spinks is much greater than Ward P4P.

    End of story.

    No question Spinks takes this.
