    Holyfield comes in at 205 pounds, the weight he was in the Bowe 1 fight and Spinks comes in at 208 pounds, the weight he was in the Cooney fight.

    Holy was a great fighter and a great heavyweight, Spinks wasn`t a great heavyweight, Holy took Tyson`s punches (roided up) but Spinks couldn`t, Holy landed more punches on Bowe than Spinks would have, Bowe would have destroyed Spinks, Holy would win, Spinks would have a better chance at cruiser, his body was a lot softer at 208 than Holy`s was at 205.

    Holy would be too well-rounded for Spinks IMO. He ultimately triumphs by dec if not late stoppage.
