    Was watching Cinderrela Man and saw the depicted fight between him and John Henry Lewis and was reminded that he did beat (future) light heavyweight champion John Henry Lewis. I started thinking how he might have done against Michael Spinks....I used to think that it was a clear cut win for Spinks, but now I'm not so sure, though I still favor Spinks. Thoughts?

    Spinks a little too much for Braddock imo .To awkward for the Cinderella man to actually get to grips with.
    Spink s by unanimous .

    I'm gonna have to go with Spinx on this one..
    Haven't seen enough Braddock fights, but I've watched a lot of Spinx and I think his ackwardness would give someone like Braddock a lot of problems, it would not end well for Braddock

    That's my thought. I think Braddock is too durable for Spinks to stop
