    Spinks by decision would be my guess.

    I like Beterbiev but I am a little surprised he is beating Spinks in the poll thus far.

    Beterbiev has proven he can and will destroy anyone, style disadvantage or not, if they can’t withstand his power. I’m not sure Spinks can handle that kind of force per hit compounded by Beterbievs better fundamentals and killer instinct.

    It’s truly some frightening **** when you see Beterbiev get someone on the ropes. Odds are they’re either gonna get a beat down or knocked down.

    Spinks Jinks stop Artur Beterbiev as Spinks undefeated at Light Heayweight for a reason. He defeated some real killers.

    Michael Spinks is a bad matchup for Artur Beterbiev. Styles make fights. Michael Spinks by knockout or referee stoppage. He will catch Beterbiev at some point with his right hand "Jinx" punch and then it's all over for Artur. I don't think Artur Beterbiev would have been undefeated with all KOs if he fought everyone who Spinks fought at light heavyweight. Nothing against Artur Beterbiev though, I love watching him box, but I do not think his level of competition is a good as Michael Spink's at light heavyweight.

    Spinks wouldn't be afraid of BeterHGH, he'd fight him in the trenches and I think his power would catch up to Beter at some point during the fight.

    That's a tough one - Beterbiev is relentless, but then so was Qawi, and Spinks beat him by UD over 15.

    Could Beterbiev go up to heavy and beat an even faded Holmes? Hmm colour me sceptical.

    I'd have to go with Spinks right now.
