    Spinks would blast him out.

    Spinks a bit longer and double jointed would be able to out maneuver Machen enough to win a UD.

    Did Spinks hit as hard as Ingo?

    Idk but Spinks—Cooney and Ingo—Machen were two of the worst beatdowns I’ve ever seen at heavyweight.

    Harold Johnson was an animal. That's what Willie Pastrano said about him. Physically he could deal with Machen. Spinks didn't appear to be that strong.

    He died a year ago. He had been on dialysis for a long time.
