    Michael Spinks Vs Roy Jones Jr at 175.

    Two of the greatest light heavyweights of all time. Who takes this match up??

    Spinks KO. His jab and awkward approach are going to see him landing the big right hand on Roy from time to time, and it won't take too many of them to put Roy out. Fairly even fight up until the knockout though.

    Jones stops Spinks in the late rounds after dominating, too much speed of foot and hand and too hard to hit, he would land at will

    Jones, pre Ruiz by clear decision. Afterwards Spinks by KO.

    Jones hanging around really hurt his status, people are now judging him by the shitty reflexes and glass jaw he has now. Seriously it's a shame.

    Peak for peak, Spinks was the superior Light Heavyweight, straight up. It has nothing to do with Roy's horrid past-prime showings. He's being pitted up against a guy who just might be the best H2H fighter in the division's history.

    Spinks was pretty good though, he'd give Jones nightmares at that weight or above.

    JOnes might get KOed 10%, would lose on points SD 40% and would get a decision win 40%, 10% draw.

    If Jones at his absolute peak shows up and brings his "A" game to the table in a career performance, he could win a close decision. Jones anything less than peak however gets stopped.

    Jones wins a few of the early rounds, with Spinks being a slow starter, around the sixth round, however, Spinks gets his rhythmn, and Roy is knocked out in the eighth or ninth round.

    We all know Spinks was a slow starter and would give the early rounds away. But he struck me as very resilient at LH and I believe he'd be able to withstand any concerted attack by Jones. Question is weather he could land on Rjj with enough consistency to take him out of there? I think Spinks would start at some point to land that stabbing left jab and bring over a right hand that Jones didn't see coming and take him out mid-late.
    Be one for the ages though.
