    I've got McCrory on points here. Thoughts?

    Milton McCrory was supposed to be a Thomas Hearns type of fighter, he was trained by Emmanuel Steward, one of the best boxing minds, and McCrory was also a Kronk fighter. He was tall and rangy. Cory Spinks is from a boxing family, Leon and Michael. I see Milton scoring a close win on points. People will never forget McCrory's knockout defeat against Donald Curry in 1985.

    I lean towards Milton in this one by UD or late stoppage. He was a damn good fighter in his prime. Cory certainly is capable of making anyone look bad but the smart money would be on a prime Mccory.

    Milton by close UD. Would have beaten Curry too if Steward wasn't being stupid.
