    Lazy Douglas I think Spinks stops him mid to late rounds when Douglas get tired, but Tokyo Douglas, I really don't know, Spinks is such a great technical boxer, I can't underrate him and Tokyo Douglas only showed up once, so we don't know how he would fare against other styles, whether Spinks's ring IQ would neutralize Douglas's jab or whether that Douglas jab would be able to neutralize Spinks's ring IQ, I just don't know, because Tyson wasn't a fighter that used ring IQ, so Douglas jabbed him from the outside and used him weight advantage on the inside, and he really started to take over when Tyson got tired, but Spinks may be able to use angles and use his feet to take away the jab like in the Holmes fight, but I can't say so I can't make a prediction for Tokyo Douglas because we didn't see him deal with other styles because he only showed up once against one style.
