    he beats all of them by SD, except Cooper, who he stops in 5

    His hammer may have did damage, but I think Spinks was clever enough to avoid it.

    He could conceivably beat them all by UD and SD. I don't see him stopping any of them.

    I got Spinks winning against all of those guys but I am admittedly biased for my childhood hero.

    Loved them both. I met Leon multiple times but only met Michael once. Michael was the far superior fighter though.

    I agree. The only reason Leon is more famous is cuz he beat Ali. Michael is an ATG while Leon unfortunately, is not. Have u ever met Cory or Darrell?

    Doug Jones: Spinks UD in an exciting chess match

    Zora Folley: Spinks gets nailed a couple of times by Folley's tricky right hand set ups. Maybe gets rocked a few times, but takes care of business and wins a close decision.

    Eddie Machen: Spinks manages to hurt Machen with the "jinx" a few times. As a result, Machen goes into his shell and Spinks cannot land more than 2 punches in a row on the elusive Machen who gets on his bike and makes it a frustrating night. Spinks uses his great jab and footwork to fight on the outside with his height and reach to win a lop sided decision.

    Henry Cooper: Spinks easily outboxed him and stops hin within 8-10 rounds.
