    Can and older (but bigger) shop worn Holy beat Spinks, or does Spinks youth carry the day here?

    Spinks by UD. By that point Holy was pretty ineffective against anybody who could move and box. Prime for Prime, however, I pick Holyfield by late stoppage.

    Spinks comfortably beats that 40 y.o. and very slow Holy. Spinks beat Holmes who at that time was much closer to his prime than 2002 Evander

    How about if it was Holy from Lewis 2?

    Holyfield would be made to look extremely past it here against spinks. Spinks unanimous easily.
