Hmm.. one of the best Lt HW's ever who fought when LtHW was stacked..became HW Champ... against a guy who dominated a horrid SprMW division and made a late name fighting old greats... HMM...have to think about this one.
Spinks! Spinks became a champ at the division when it was filled with notable skilled contenders. Calzaghe is not even a true LH. How many fights did Calzaghe have at LH?
Spinks. He's better, greater historically, wins H2H, etc.. I think Calzaghe was a very good fighter, he gets bashed a lot, probably to counter the unrealistic praise he gets from his fanboys, but Spinks was just on a higher level. True, but he was weighing in under different rules. Most likely he'd be a light-heavyweight if they were still doing weigh-ins on the day of the fight.
spinks all the way around just too much of everything ... if cal thought hopkins was confuseing he dosn't know spinks
Spinks would have been the undisputed champion if he was fighting now. No doubt about it. There is no fighter at LH now who has an equalizer for the Spinks Jinx. Spinks would stop Joe C. if they fought at LH.
M. Spinks >>>>>>> J. Cal Spinks was my favorite fighter growing up and I was so sad when Mike knocked him out.
Undisputed champ now????? **** that -- Micheal became WBA champ by beating Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, and then unified the division by beating Qawi and Sears. Along the way he beat the crap out of Murray Sutherland (the first ever SMW champ.) Knocked out Celestine and Johnson, and won a UD over Eddie Davis. If the Jinx was around today he would be master of the ****ing universe, or some **** like that. Micheal Spinks would knock Joe Calzaghe out in the mid rounds, and make it look easy.
Calz's is HOF material.....with that being said I can't even attempt to visualize the brutality that would be dished out by the Jinx if he where to face Joe. BTW I've made the comparison before.
