Michael Spinks vs Bob Foster 175

I would favor Spinks but Foster would be a dangerous proposition.

 

This would be a very enjoyable fight. I have Foster winning it and, to be honest, I don't know why. I watched quite a few of their fights growing up. (Ok, I was grown by the time Spinks turned pro) My sense is that Foster is simply better and finds a way to stop Spinks sometime around the 13th round.

 

Both champions fought 15 rounders.

 

I have Spinks by decision or even lare stoppage. I like his versatility and awkwardness but Foster is a dangerous guy.

 

I'm going with Spinks he proved himself to be a more well rounded fighter, and proved himself against better opposition. Also Spinks is one of the few Light Heavyweight's that Foster wouldn't have physical advantages over.

 

Spinks. Yes Foster would not be physically far superior, & the stylistic advantage goes to the awkwar clever boxer over the slugger.

 

Spinks on points

 

Spinks is just better all round

 

Spinks

 

Spinks hits just as hard (or is certainly in the same neighborhood), is a better (and less predictable) boxer and is less fragile.

It all adds up to him by decision or late stoppage in my eyes.

 

I’d say Spinks, but Foster would be very dangerous. Spinks just knew how to win and was a formidable puncher himself.

 

I'd say the key to this fight is Fosters jab, Bob had one of the best in the division's history that set up his bombs. If Spinks can't nullify it I'd take Bob . 50/50 fight though with good arguments on both sides.

 

Lean towards Spinks myself

 

I think Micheal pulls out the close unanimous verdict. Bob never dealt with a cat like Spinks at 175.
