    Michael Spinks gets in the mix with Jersey Joe and Ezzard Charles.
    He fights both twice.
    What's the conclusion?

    He could beat either them, he could also lose to either of them. In a real life scenario, he’s most likely to beat Walcott, because Walcott was more inconsistent than Charles, but on their absolute best days, I think Walcott would give him more trouble than Charles personally.

    I think both beat him, Jersey gives most trouble and I see him getting two wins.
    But yes, it depends on what version he meets of them.
