    Spinks vs
    Jerry Quarry
    Ken Norton
    Jimmy Young
    Jimmy Ellis
    Chuck Wepner

    The best HW version of Michael Spinks vs those guys.

    He loses to Norton, against Quarry its 50/50, and he beats Young, Ellis, and Wepner.

    I'd favor him over all, but he wouldn't beat them all, except for Wepner who would have no chance..

    I think Norton would be too strong eventually

    Brilliant point, the LHWs from the 70s were better than these schmucks anyway

    Norton walks him down and stops him.
    Quarry 50/50 depending on which Quarry shows up.
    Ellis is interesting but I'd take Spinks
    Wepner he beats.
    A top condition JY outboxes Spinks

    I would only favor him over Wepner.

    Norton should beat him.

    Young, Ellis and Quarry I see as close to 50-50 type of fights but I would probably pick all 3 to beat him if I had to...but not fights I would bet on.

    Spinks at heavy over Norton is debatable. Norton's achilles was punchers. Against boxers (Ali, Holmes, Young) he competed well. I don't see Spinks at heavy posing more of a threat or challenge than those 3. So, it's a pick'em.

    He beats Wepner though Chuck walks through everything he throws like spitballs.
    He might beat Young ,nobody else.
