    you've been doing too much boxrec hunting, go out and buy/find a few fights so you have some sort of idea.

    what are you implying that spinks lost, damn that would make his rep worse. The spinks fights ive seen are against vonzell and marvin johnson, ramon ranqeullo, david sears and all of his heavyweight fights.

    Ford looked good against sanchez, does that make him a wicked fighter now?

    Another thing bob foster gave rematches to guys like fourie and henry hank. Michael spinks never gave rematches to qawi and eddie mustafa even when they clearly demanded it.

    Yeah, you ain't seen **** :good


    Ready to be embarrassed to the utmost?


    Spinks gave Eddie a rematch, Eddie couldn't make the weight and refused to even try after what happened weight wise in their initial encounter. The bout was called off and there was never ever going to be another.

    Spinks and Qawi were to rematch in September 84, but about 2 weeks before the bout Qawi got injured and pulled out. There was also talk of Qawi suffering from depression from recent personal events.

    So there you go, made a fool of yourself again. If i was you i'd do a bit more research before trouting off at the lip so often, or simply not trout off at all

    :good

    more like spinks was offered to fight him at a ctachweight of like 178 and he refused, then eddie dissed him by saying he has no heart. Yeah ive seen 9 fights out of a 32 fight career, hardly considered ****, lol. Well i dont really count the fights against bums, the only big fights of his i havent seen are against qawi and eddie, the rest are irrelevant.

    you still havent argued against the fact that bob foster has like 10 solid wins at this weight when spinks has at best 6.

    Do a bit of googling did we? Well, at least you're learning something :yep

    Why the fukk should Spinks fight Eddie in a meaningless bout when Eddie can't make the weight? Eddie's my fave 175 ever, but if he can't make the weight then that's just too bad. I'm surprised google didn't turn up the rigged scales claim.

    The only big fights of Spinks you haven't seen are Eddie and Qawi? His two biggest fights ever at 175 :lol:

    As i said, you ain't seen ****.

    I don't need to. Others have made good points that you are unable to refute. Christ, you didn't even know Spinks signed to fight both Eddie and Qawi in rematches, i mean what hope is there? :patsch

    what hope is there? WTF, foster has more top wins at this weight and thats all i have to say, his resume at 175 has more depth.

    I shudder to think about what you've seen of Foster's comp if that's all you've seen of Spinks' lightheavy fights.

    You basically haven't seen Spinks' best fights at light heavyweight against Qawi, Davis, Muhammad and Lopez and yet you feel confident about telling someone who has seen them that Foster fought better comp?

    Here's a question for you: what if these fighters put up spirited efforts against Spinks and fought career best fights? Would Foster's resume still be better? A question to think about....

    We face this question with many old timers when we haven't seen film or got sources to tell us how they and their opposition performed. But when someone does have the advantage, as JT does in this situation, I'd take his opinion over yours.

    BTW, I've seen all those fights myself (the ones you haven't seen, that is). :good
