    Armstrong is tailor made for Pacquiao. Wouldn't even be Pacquiaos hardest fight.

    It's because Yanks are self-centered ******s when it comes to their sports.

    Eh, it's a free country. Maybe Calzaghe wins, maybe it's Spinks.

    I've come to the conclusion that arguing over fantasy fight picks that could never happen is about the dumbest thing ever anyways. Nobody's changing anyone's mind, and it's never gonna be proven either way.

    At least arguing before a fight gives some bragging rights once it's settled

    Spinks would be walking into a lot of shots then, you couldn`t in towards Joe in a straight line like Spinks did because of his volume punching, you to attack from angles which I never saw Spinks do.

    What could Spinks do that Calzaghe couldn`t? Spinks never faced hand speed like Joe`s, aside from when he fought Tyson at heavyweight.

    He wouldn't have to do any of this. He'd just have to let Joe come to him, which he would. It'd look like the Marvin Johnson fight.

    The thought of Joe unloading volume on Michael Spinks is ridiculous.

    Big Calslappy fan, but Spinks sparks him out. Way too big and strong for Spinks.

    LOL Spinks KO'd Gerry Cooney ffs (yes I know it was at HW). Beat Larry Holmes (yes i know it was
    at HW). He beat Qawi at LHW. He beat Eddie Muhammed at LHW. He TKO'd YAQUI LOPEZ.
    He beat Murray Sutherland. Any of those guys were better than ANY of Calzaghe's opponents.

    Only man to beat him was Mike freaking Tyson. Yes, MIKE TYSON. And people think this even would be
    competitive? Silly thread.

    Please tweet this to Max Kellerman so he realises what an idiot he sounds like.

    I've already discussed the situation with him and with President Trump. I expect a press release from both ESPN and the White House very soon repudiating Max's ridiculous statement

    That`s the only way Joe knew how to fight, he threw more body shots than Spinks did also, his straight left would land often to Spinks body.

    Hopkins was harder to hit than any of Spinks opponents except Tyson who Spinks didn`t throw much at.
