    Leon Spinks vs
    Marvin Johnson
    Eddie Muhammad
    Oscar Rivendara
    Vonzell Johnson
    Mustafa Wassaja
    Murray Sutherland
    Yaqui Lopez
    1985 Larry Holmes
    1987 Gerry Cooney

    I didn't include Qawi because we saw what happened. Let's assume that Leon could keep his head on straight and come in at top shape for these fights. Could he do what his younger brother did?

    The Holmes that beat Leon in 82 was insane, the Holmes of 1985 would have struggled a lot more, Leon had good head movement despite being a tiny heavyweight.

    It’s hard to predict how those LHW’s would’ve done against him except the ones who moved up, I feel like Mustafa Muhammad beats him at 190lbs, that version of Holmes also beats him comfortably, stops him, the guys he was struggling against were great technically and awkward, and finally Cooney annihilates him.
