    How do you think this fight would have taken place if we could put these two up against each other at their peaks.

    I say Tunney nicks it by a **** hair in a close, tactical, basically boring bout.

    I love Tunney, but I like Spinks in this one....Close fight but Michael´s speed would make him win a close decision by one round.....
    I know Tunney was fast too, but I think Spinks was more.....

    true and spinks had serious power. tunney had a wonderful chin but he lacked the same firepower and could be stunned in this one

    also it's been said that tunney had some trouble with the unpredictable and spinks if anything, was unpredictable
