    Spinks imo, just better , Foster obviously has the power , but Spinks just looked amazing at the weight . Could be either , 2 of the very best 175 pounders ever , i just think Spinks though

    Spinks would win, but it would be a good fight while it lasted.

    To be completely honest...I was thinking Spinks at first...but Foster presents some big problems...Namely height, great jab, and incredible power...Foster offsets alot of the advantages in a hypothetical fights that I'm able to give Spinks...I do think that Spinks is the better 'catcher'...I think he would be able to take Foster's blows better than the other way. That is not a safe thing to say though...But I do not think this would turn into a firefight, more tactical than anything else...Spinks has better mobility in his herky jerky style, but Foster just might wait him out...because if Spinks gets close enough to land his jab...Guess what? He is then in Foster's range...Bad match up for both!
