Cory Spinks

he's average. Always has been.

Now he's past his best too so below average by titleholder standards.

 

Spinks is vastly underrated because of his loss to Judah. I thought he was too big for 147, and he looks better at 154.

 

You know what i thought was ****ed up? Spinks beat Judah, Judah gets a rematch, Judah wins and then everyone's happy to just forget about Spinks for a while.

If Judah got a rematch then Spinks should have got one.

 

He was a very good fighter in his prime.And accomplished a lot too so his talent wasn't wasted.

Past it now yet still a player at '54.

 

His fights make Ruiz's seem action packed!!!

 

Very good technical fighter hard to hit fast hands. I think he could be or atleast a few years ago could have given Maywheather a very difficult fight. I'm not saying I would want to watch that but I think unless Maywheather hurts him and stops him it would be close.

 

The most boring mother****er in Boxing a prototipical runner, no one cares!

 

Very skilled fighter, personally I like watching him operate.

Back when a SPinks v. Mayweather fight was being discussed, and derided, I liked the idea b/c I think SPinks has the style, size, and skills to give Mayweather a run and possibly beat him.

 

He was a decent fighter but nothing special.

Hes past it now and hes there for the taking.

 

In his prime he was one of the best fighters in the world, he should of been middleweight champion of the world, but didnt get the verdict against taylor

 

World Class fighter, extremely skillful, hard to hit, decent chin, heart & fights anyone. Not many people were knockin on Latimores door thats for sure!! Past his prime and still beating top contendors!

 

I'd actually favor Cory in a rematch, right now - though it's unlikely. 147 is too low for him and too high for Zab; and 140 or 154 is too ridiculous an advantage for either guy.

He is underrated. He gets a stupid amount of unwarranted hate, p4p probably more than anybody else in the game. People who hate on Spinks' style but then praise Haye's performance over Valuev are the epitome of hypocrisy.

Especially when you consider that like John Ruiz, Spinks has gone through a late-career reinvention and turned into a pretty exciting scrapper, more out of necessity than anything else, as his legs are pretty well gone (see: the Phillips and Latimore fights). He's handled the adjustment with aplomb and is still a useful boxer even being less mobile.
