Michael was one of the slowest starters of any ATG, a fatal flaw against somebody like Tua. I think David would get him like Tyson did, before he had a chance to get on track.
Spinks gets KTFO in about 19 seconds!! :dead Exibit A - [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKDvkcLe0K0[/ame] Foreman Hooooooooooooooooooooook!:rasta
Spinks was a very good boxer and very underated. Like Byrd he would dominate and outbox Tua. Unlike Byrd though, he would have teh power to stop Tua when he landed. Spinks by KO8
I don't know??? I agree he should outbox Tua, who for some reason does well in hypothetical matches, but is mediocre in real life. I don't dismis his chin however and have a VERY HARD TIME seeing Spinks stop him!
Tua has a good chin, i dont doubt that, but I just see spinks as very, very dominant, and hitting very hard. I also think that fighters with good chins get very overated in the stoppage department. If you hit anyone enough, you will stop them. Guys like Ali managed to avoid KOs because they were cagey and able to avoid taking big shots. But i dont think Tua was that cagey. I think Spinks will hit him hard and often. Sure the KO may technically be a tko but i dont really distinguish between the two. I think That spinks is a class above Tua, and i dont think Tua will be able to run and hold like he did against Lewis, so i think Tua will get the stoppage. Of course, a points decision wouldnt surprise me either.
