Who does it beat and how? He does he lose to and how? and does he draw with anyone?

 

I think he could have beaten a lot of them too. With his bouts with Mercer and Gonzalez, Spoon looked better than most of those heavyweights. I have him definitely beating Ruddock, Bruno, Rahman, Norris, Stewart, Briggs, Morrison, and Seldon. I have him possibly beating Grant, Moorer, Foreman, Cooper, and McCall. And I have him losing to Tyson, Holyfield, Tua, and Lewis in the most graceful fashion possible.

 

It's really amazing. I think Spoon could have pretty much had a free hand in the heavyweight division once again, losing to a select few of the greats, but dominating the division mostly. I did forget to mention Bowe though, who we know defeats Spoon. But Spoon was an excellent infighter himself, and I'm sure that would be a bruising brawl and a close one, although I'm sure we would know who would win that one. Spoon just isn't the kind of guy that anybody could dominate, when he was at his best.

 

He really was just more well-rounded than nearly all of those guys. Those guys were almost all punchers, or they were boxers with some power. Spoon could box, punch, he had great defense, he could literally fight in any position, any stance. Great fighter.

 

ur right, that is interesting

 

I have usually thought that McCall could beat nearly anyone if he tried really hard. But sometimes McCall didn't try at all, and that's why he lost to some of the guys he lost to. I mean, we know he could have beaten Bruno and Orlin Norris, and gave Lewis a heck of a time in the rematch, and maybe even beat him. Spoon was just way busier and I have him winning. If McCall is as busy as Spoon is, I have to give it to McCall by a hair.

 

I was talking more hypothetical fights that could have happened rather than prime-for-prime talks.

 

I see what you're saying about Lewis; he didn't seem like a fighter who could go fully toe-to-toe with a big puncher and win. Tyson was not peak anymore either, but I have always believed the two of them would be a great matchup with a very close decision in the end. Holyfield was just far too mobile, tough, and high-stamina to lose to Spoon.
