    Why? Probably the same amount that had Holmes winning fight I had Spinks winning fight II. Oh, and KO magazine had it 10-5 Spinks too.

    exactly spinks won both fights, i dont see this larry was robbed bull****. Even in the 2nd fight he threw more and landed more punches than larry holmes. Spinks is so great.

    Who's punches had more effect? If you go simply by who landed more punches than that would change the course of boxing history, most likely for the worse.

    Spinks won both fights? Not a chance. The second fight was clearly Holmes.

    What is your argument for Spinks winning the 2nd fight besides him landing more punches?

    i think he edged him in the rounds that were close, i had it 8-7 spinks. The first fight spinks outlanded him by 150 punches. 150 ****in punches and u still think ur god won.

    Out jabbed by Spinks? If you didn't notice, Larry was only about 65-70% of what he was in his prime, and he was a ton slower and his legs were gone. Spinks didn't jab that much, he mostly used hooks and uppercuts with his flurries.

    The rematch Spinks landed 3 more punches. 3 more punches. And you still think Spinks won, even though he was hurt, rocked, and nearly dropped multiple times during the fight.

    IMO Holmes lost FIRST Spinks fight 9-6! The SECOND fight was robbery! so he would be 49-1(34ko's) when facing Tyson!

    Technically incorrect and 'consensus' incorrect too. So, overall, incorrect.
