    Michael Spinks against Michael Moorer,as light heavyweights,in their primes...Highly rated Spinks against underated Moorer....Who wins?.

    I am confident in picking Michael Spinks to win in a rather decisive outcome.. Moorer did not prove enough at light heavy to warrant being favored over an all time great member of that division. Leslie Stewart was quite possibly the best opponent that he faced at 175 Lbs, and Michael was outboxed through nearly 8 rounds, before catching up to him late and stopping him.. Stewart didn't exactly have a particularly sturdy chin either.. Put Spinks in place of Stewart, and I don't think Moorer is winning.

    I gotta go with Moorer..... Spinks did very little at heavyweight.... Moorer has a better resume.... A good match.... Moorer W12 Spinks......

    I think the question was referring to their light heavyweight careers.

    For a second I thought you wrote "light heavyweight"

    Spinks would win a decision. Moorer might be tough at 175. Moorer would have been a really good champion at 175 had he been able to stay at the weight. Although I remember Leslie Stewart really hurt him in their fight.
