Could Spinks have made middle weight?

Doubt it. If he could he'd be much weaker and a dude like Hagler would probably wreck him. Too much water loss has a big impact on performance

 

of coarse, but he would not have been as effective. His legs were a little heavy for the weight.

 

Spinks fought once and I believe he weighed 170 and a half . He was trying to lure Marvin Hagler into a fight which Hagler said no because he was a middleweight. Spinks could make 168 today
