    I've always wondered about this one and could never really decide who would win, i always find myself leaning towards Charles, what are your opinions on this? This is them fighting at heavyweight.

    Charles wouldn't have made the mistake Eddie Mustafa did. He wouldn't let Spinks dictate the pace and I don't Spinks herky jerky style would be all that difficult for a pro like Charles.

    Spinks really only has a puncher's chance in my eyes. People might think I'm crazy for discounting The Jinx, but I've never thought Spinks, for all his impresive scalps, was as impressive as many people think.
