last nights Bernard Hopkins vs prime Michael Spinks

If BHop could do an impersonation of Mike Tyson, Hopkins TKO 1

 

Spinks all the way. These past LHW champs come no where near Spinks. Possilbly RJJ when he first arrived at 175 with his speed and angles.

 

Back in the day Micheal was one of my favorites. We're really talking about a whole different level of fighter compared to Pascal.

 

Forget last night's Hopkins, prime Spinks beats prime Hopkins (assuming he had moved to 175 around the time of the Tito fight).

 

mike spinks takes it easy enough

 

Spinks is on a whole 'nother level compared to Pascal. I always maintained Pascal was getting over-rated on the basis of that Dawson win, a fight I thought and still think he would lose in a rematch providing Dawson lets his hands go and doesn't allow Pascal to dictate the tempo and take control of the fight.

 

Spinks easily. He'd beat any version of Hopkins.

 

In my mind, there isn't a light heavyweight that's fought since Micheal Spinks that would beat him.

 

I agree 100%.And there weren't too many before him that would have beaten him either.

 

Has Spinks gotten so underrated that it's even being questioned if he beats a 45 year old man, who in the minds of many, won a close fight over JEAN PASCAL???

B-Hop is an amazing fighter, but he IS in his mid 40s and peaked in earlier years two divisions below.

Spinks is not an average LHW champ, or even a good one. He's one of the greatest LHWs ever.

 

Spinks K04 Hopkins (last night)

Spinks would obviously beat him.

Prime RJJ at 175 would be damn interesting to see against Spinks.
