    Two incredibly underrated boxers by the casual viewer commonly known more for their famous losses (Pryor, Tyson) rather than their incredible catalogue of triumphs against incredible opposition, who also happen to stilistically resemble each other (imo) as users of the sweet science.

    El Flaco Explosio or The Jinx, who is the better pugil?

    Not much in it, I have Spinks slightly higher in my ATG p4p list.

    That's like picking between a Kansas City strip steak and a New York Strip steak. I have Michael by the slightest margin.
