    Of course. He was better than McCall, Bruno, Seldon and Botha. Better than Moorer and 45-year old Foreman as well.

    Good post.

    Another thing people forget about Moorer is how heavy his right jab was. He was genuinely bothering Holyfield with his jab. Because Moorer was jabbing with his natural hand (the right), this made his jab genuinely strong. And his hook was dynamite. I favour Moorer too here.

    Absolutely.

    Skillwise, Spinks is as good or better than the 90-97 titleholders and the size and weight gaps wouldnt have been unmanageable.

    With proper planning and timing I am confident Spinks eventually finds the opportunity to grab a belt.
