    I'm going with Seldon to out point Spinks here. Thoughts?

    spinks.

    Decision in a terrible bout to watch. neither guy will exchange or trade. It'll be a single jab and move. or 2 jabs with the second to create distance. Then, pose and feint from way way om the outside. And Spinks will land on that soft defense and hand placement and score the points.

    Spinks on points. He'd have Bruce frustrated thru out the fight. There'll be shades of the first Holmes fight where Seldon will look baffled at times.

    Yes. The Fight will be kinda boring most of the time, because Seldon is too slow to catch Spinks. Spinks will score occasionally with his In and Out style like against Holmes.

    Not sure if Spinks power would rattle Seldon, but Seldons power and quickness is no good match for Michael Spinks. The Atlantic Express might win this.

    He might beat Spinks in "Mike Tyson Punchout" on NES.

    Seldon was far quicker in handspeed and foot speed than the old Holmes that Spinks beat.
