    Michael Spinks is like Batman, give him the time to prepare, he'll produce.He could conceibably beat Archie Moore, but the chances lie around the 40 percent mark.But Archie has all that experiece, and in a real tight fight, that would come into play.So I'm thinking Moore just beats Spinks, barely, but just beats him.

    God damn, what a **** opening post. Ain't it weird how you can be quite happy with something when you're eighteen, then a few years later you think it looks totally amateurish and badly written? Happens to me a lot.

    Moore would have handled any version of Spinks but Michael would be competitive I just don't see Spinks being able to overcome the Mongoose at 175 or north

    Spinks didn't have a lot of fights, but he had a very high learning curve, and he was very adaptable. In my opinion, his boxing ability and ring smarts are often overlooked due to the fact that he was Leon Spinks brother, and he is not thought of as a thinker, but he made good adjustments in his fights. I think he would either decision or stop Moore late. He had a better chin that Moore and could take him out with one shot. I don't know if Moore could stop Michael.
