    The Spinks of the first Ali fight beats any version of Tarver. Spinks may have suffered a rapid decline, but, at his best, he would out-work, and out-fight Tarver (who could be lazy at times).

    I agree that the Spinks that beat Ali would have taken Tarver

    Lazy at times, or does he get to be at his best too? That Ali was cooked.
