    How do we see this one going? I guess logic says if he could outbox Holmes (I know many question the results) then an older Foreman shouldn't be much of a problem. Then again Foreman's chin and power...

    Moorer was a better heavyweight than Spinks.

    I could see Spinks outboxing Foreman to some degree, but, at some point, George will catch Michael. If he can take the punch, he can win.

    I said it before that if a glass cannon like Morrison can outbox Foreman then I could see Spinks doing it. Of course Foreman always poses a major threat with his power but I think Spinks could pull it off by decision.

    I like this answer.
    Spinks certainly had more skill than Morrison, if he can out point George then I give the jinx Spinks a fair chance.

    If Spinks can avoid getting knocked out then he wins a decision…… IF…..
