    Competitive fight. I find it difficult to pick a winner. Perhaps Holyfield wins a decision

    Tentatively pick Spinks by decision, especially against a pre roided Holyfield

    Clean fighter or Champion fighter in the 80s pick one.

    Spinks lands some commanding rights, but it's obvious from the beginning he's fighting a stronger fighter.

    Holyfield doggedly keeps at it, outlanding and out muscling Spinks at every turn. Michael pulls out a few tricks to stay in the fight, but by the 10th he's really wilting under Holy's strength. Dropped and stopped in the 11th.

    Spinks takes a very close one on points. Two evenly matched men
