    Claiming Spinks moved up two divisions is like claiming Usyk moved up two divisions because of bridgerweight. There was no talent at cruiser at all at the time, and HWs were barely bigger than cruiserweights.

    For me it is Usyk but I massively respect Spinks, so I don't have any big dog in the fight. Two of boxing's best, and two gentlemen besides.

    I believe Spinks win is the more impressive of the two very impressive feats. I thinks Spinks beat a better fighter. While Holmes had shown some slippage, his last close fight was six fights earlier against the one and only Tim Witherspoon. If the Joshua leading up to the Usyk fight was better than Holmes it wasn't by much and, personally, I don't think he was better than Holmes.

    The reason I give the edge to Spinks is that he did what he did with no prep fights at the weight. He moved up, challenged the 48-0 heavyweight champion of the world and beat him. That is a greater achievement than Usyk's win.

    Spinks win over Holmes is more impressive.

    AJ was dreadful against Usyk.
