Michael Spinx (1985) against recent Ward, Kovalev or Stevenson ?

You need to stop overrating past fighters. Boone presents a bad style to a lot of fighters. But it doesn't matter, Spinks fights nothing like Boone. Spinks like to back up and his foot speed is only just above average.

I judge fights by styles, not just by record. Spinks didn't like certain styles and Kovalev fights a little bit like Eddie Davis, but with more speed, power and skills. Stevenson is a bit passed it now, but in his prime, his speed and power would give Spinks fits. People keep forgetting that Kovalev and Stevenson are 2 of the best punchers in the history of the heavyweight division, with some good skills to back it up.

You believe everything that's fed to you, so you're the real simpleton here.

 

I'm not on the "old school" train, but I believe Spinks would have figured out all three guys and beat them.

 

You don't even know **** about the past fighters. You don't know **** about Spinks either. Trying to pick a fight where you think that a guy looked bad but still won lol... Kov had a draw against who? Have you ever even heard about the Spinks jinx?

I believe what I'm fed??? Lol.. Mofo that is the era when I started watching boxing clown. I saw every last one of those fights clown, you didn't. And what you said about Boone and Spinks is why you're a true clown when ****yzing past and present fighters. Take your amateur outlook, ball it up and throw it in the garbage mofo. Talking about they would ko Spinks. Foh. They don't hit as hard as Mike Tyson because that is the type of punch that was needed to ko Spinks.

 

He would've beaten all 3. And there is no bias in my posting this. Braxton beats all 3 up too. Saad Muhammad too.

 

Considering that Michael had a very good resume at 175, was never off of his feet at that weight, and had a very high ko percentage at said weight, I would say, based on what actually happened in their respective careers, that Spinks knocks both Krusher and Stevenson out.

 

You just gave yourself away on how uninformed you are.

Have you researched that draw? Oh right, you haven't. Grover Young got knocked out, but somehow convinced that Ref that he got hit on the back of his head, which he didn't. So they gave the Krusher a draw instead a rightful victory.

And you believe in jinxes....very nice. Spinks lost that fight and he got a gift. He got hit flush by Davis by the dozens, but luckily for Spinks, Davis didn't have that much power. Get hit flush by Kovalev and Stevenson...good luck.

 

Davis could box well on the inside. Kovalev cannot. He has no inside skills at all. Nor has he any slick upper body movement Davis had.

That fight says nothing at all about Kovelevs chances. Kovalev wouldn't know what to do with Spinks irregular movements and would be taken apart by Spinks who also had a great inside game

Spinks beats all three of these guys.

 

Yes, because standing in front of a powerful puncher like Kovalev is a good idea, right? You underestimate the Krusher's abilities at short range. Spinks stood around and laid on the ropes like everyone else. He'd give Kovalev a lot problems for sure, but Kovalev would give him just as many problems to deal with, if not more.

I posted this fight to show Spinks' vulnerabilities and he had quite a few. He's not Roy Jones in his prime. He's susceptible to certain styles and you don't need Mike Tyson power to knock him out. Stevenson and Kovalev's power is more than enough.

 

Spinks is taller,quicker and has a longer reach than Sergey. And he's better defensively. And you don't need Tyson power to knock him out? Really? Based on what, exactly? Based on all of the knockdowns he suffered at 175 (0)? Or even at heavy before facing Tyson? Gerry ****ey may have been shot when he fought Spinks, but was always a big puncher. His power did nothing to Spinks. By the way, Jones was dropped by Lou del Valle before he started his downward spiral. What do you think happens when Spinks lands on him?

 

Spinks lost? Conversation over. Amateur, liar, exaggerator, **** rider. You picked the wrong fight and wrong fighter to even try this pathetic and lame attempt to elevate those guys. True clown in the truest sense lmfao.

 

Because he fought a murderous row at 175 when he was there right? He fought what, just a couple power punchers in Johnson and Muhammad who are neither as good as the the top 3 175 lbers right now.

Even Haglar himself said it, light heavyweight was a weak division when Spinks was there. There was nobody in that division as good as Kovalev, Stevenson or Ward. And people act like Spinks' chin is titanium. I don't care that he didn't go down at 175, he never fought punchers like Kovalev or Stevenson at 175. Everyone is human and so are fighters from the past.

 

Dino, Clinton...he already put all of his cards on the table. I don't want to **** on him. It wouldn't be fair. If you guys want to waste your time with the clown go ahead.

 

For someone claims to have started watching in the 80's, you sure sound like an immature teenager. Call other people exaggerators when you talk like one? Lay off the alcohol.

Even hardcore Spinks fans will tell you that Davis got screwed on scorecards.

 

70's clown. And stop lying to posters and post the fight. And let everyone judge the unification fight themselves. I'll post the fight lol...

 

Yeah, run because I don't agree with you. Go back to your safe space because I showed a fight where Spinks struggled and got hit flush dozens of times.

No fighter is perfect and neither is Spinks. I don't hold on to nostalgia like some fools do.
