    Spinlks was a class above .. Saad was an exceptionally exciting warrior, strong and a big puncher , kinda of like a light heavyweight Little Red Lopez ... they both got hit too much ... Saad, originally a boxer, had some brutal pre-title fights against then Eddie Gregory, Marvin Johnson and Yaqui Lopez ... he peaked in his title winning Johnson rematch and had a terrific reign but took way too much punishment ... the man who lost to Qwai was 65% of the guy that beat Johnson ... all that said, Spinks was a class above and beast him by a decision or a late round stoppage ..

    Saad got hit too much and Spinks would be lighting him up with Spinks Jinxes.

    This fight would have happened if Saad beat Qawi. I think a prime Saad would give Spinks some scary moments, but Spinks eventually stops him. Spinks just overall better although prime Saad was tough as nails.
