    Bowe KO 8 Spinks.Unless this wasn't the Bowe from the first Holyfield fight, then it would be Spinks UD 12 Bowe.

    Bowe takes it.

    He's leagues beyond, say, Cooney. Tougher, better boxer...

    Spinks can make a hell of a fight out of it, I just don't see him taking any kind of majority.

    Pound for pound, Spinks was the better fighter, but that won't help him in this matchup at heavyweight. A 1992 Riddick Bowe, is simply too strong and too aggressive for a 1985-87 Spinks. I could see Michael taking some rounds away from Riddick, but it wouldn't take long before Spinks is using everything he has just to defend himself.

    Bowe by mid to late round TKO.

    Bowe would whup Spinks in about five rounds.He has too much skill for Spinks, and if it was fought on the inside, Riddick would destroy Michael in about two rounds.

    Bowe wins, I'm certain. He was just too much in every department for Spinks. I'm not sure if it would go the distance or end by stoppage, though.
