    He had good handspeed, it would have been an interesting fight, how do you think the modern press would have reacted to Spinks weight at the weigh in?

    Against Usyk ? They'd say he's small as hell but Usyk's a former Cruiserweight so i wouldn't see much controversy. The thing is styles make fights. Spinks displays great headmovment in the Holmes fight and his agression could trouble Usyk morso than Joshua. But i favor Usyk

    Yes, he would have done better than AJ, faster hands.

    Would you say that Spinks hit hard enough at heavyweight to trouble AJ?

    Yes, Joshua is chinny as hell. That being said i think Joshua would KO Spinks

    Better thread question is: "Would Michael Spinks make this a closer fight than AJ did ?"

    This assumes I don“t see Spinks beating him.
