    A huge fan of Cory Spinks. I respect pure boxers, love the form. Cory has his own style, circling right as a southpaw. Very good fighter, the best at 154, thought he beat Taylor, and I would love to see him fight more often.

    i don't give him as much respect as some of the other responses... he got beat by judah twice in my opinion, and the second time he got absolutely owned... i was hoping after that 2nd fight that we'd never see him again, but no, he resurfaced at 154...

    i wouldn't mind seeing him and forrest unifying

    I think that he can win against anybody but he is not capable of beating anyone. In other words he can scratch and fondle his way to victory while either running or holding on for his life and frstrating the hell out of his opponent but I have yet to ever see him actually hurt someone or see one of his opponents leaving the ring looking like they've even been in a fight.

    'FACT' he says.

    With 100% certainty, Mayweather WILL beat Pavlik, Taylor, Abraham and Lee. Its quite laughable really.

    Spinks is very good often underrated here due to his style. He would give PBF fits for atleast 5 rounds or so after that PBF figures him out and wins.

    This is probably the worse comparison I have ever seen. Floyd couples his defense with an excellent offense. He actually hurts guys when he fights them. He can also make guys miss while standing right in front of them. Spinks on the other hand sacrifices his offense way too much to come out with his defense and when an opponent cuts the ring off he doesn't know what to do. The result is either a iron clad grip hold or a quick sprint to the other side of the ring or a "slip" to the canvass.

    not so good.

    Emanuel Stewart gave Jermaine Taylor the Green Light to walk Through Spinksaround round 10 and he was ready to be destroyed but Taylor dosent Listen so it didnt happen. This guy couldnt Hurt Taylor. This is never good to have a Fighter that cant hurt people.

    Shamba Mitchell was worlds better
