    Remember, Bob Satterfield at 176 lbs stopped Williams and here we are talking about Spinks at 208 lbs. Spinks has a real good chance here so don't write him off as a "blown up light heavyweight". So who would take this and how?

    Bump because it got no replies.
    Spinks is more versatile, Williams may take the opening rounds whilst fresh, but Spinks takes over once he figures him out, he has more ways of setting up punches, has a much better jab, throws much better straight punches which would allow him to time and start beating Williams to the punch and eventually stops him late on.

    Spinks would stop him in midrounds.
