    Braddock by very clear points verdict. At his best,Leon would be tough enough to hang with him over the distance.

    Jimmy was tough as nails, and he carried power not shared by a fading Ali. If a knockdown or stoppage were to be produced, it would much more likely come from Braddock. Leon upset Ali, but that was no kind of blowout. Muhammad admitted he was defeated, yet a split decision is not an unfair indicator of the competitiveness involved.

    Braddock had far more professional experience than Leon ever realized.

    Braddock, at his best, was a much better fighter.

    If its LEon Spinks of Ali I, then he wins a close one, any other version, its braddock.
