Send in your middleweight to beat Prime Michael Spinks

Jones did not have a shaky chin in his prime. He laughed a right hand from Ruiz off.

Based on the fact that big MWs like Jacobs would have been LHWs in the 1970s.

Go for Jones. He would beat Spinks.

 

Jacobs isn't half the puncher Spinks was.

Spinks would KO Jones, and beat every middleweight ever.

 

Not one.
But the ones that would have the best chance would
need to be extremely mobile, and defensively sound.
M.Nunn and Roy Jones Jr. comes to mind.

 

I don't see any middleweight ever beating Spinks.

 

Nunn fought at SMW and LHW.

We can’t even count Hopkins.

 

We can’t pick Roy, Greb, Toney or Canelo.

It has to be career MW’s.

This is very difficult.

 

It has to be a career MW.

 

Career MW’s only.

 

It’s a good thread.

I think you’d need to change the criteria to ANY former MW.

I can’t think of a career MW being able to have done it.

 

None

 

Yeah. I think he’s going to have to change it to ANY fighter who fought at MW.

 

He'd beat every middleweight, not necessarily stop all of them. But yeah, he'd stop LaMotta IMO. Lesser LHW Nardico did.
