^^^but that aint the point of the thread tho. i would choose spinks. as much as he is a boring fighter he does have that great st louis atmosphere with him. and even though he is just as bad as raheem. spinks will trade if he needs the rounds or up his workrate...raheem would just cover up more and be more placid but be accurate accurate with his punches which could steal the rounds. pick your poison really
those guys are lucky that are other fights on the undercard when they fight.if not nobody would see them running around.
I don't think that there has ever been a fighter in the history of the sport more boring than Cory Spinks.
Spink is more crowd pleasing than Raheem ... Raheem is like Calvin Brock and Jhonny Gonzales ... the kill the suspense of a fight and stink out the joint before the fight is over. The only way that any of those guys look good anyway is if they get knocked out. I have alot of respect for Spinks and think that he got robbed against Taylor and against Phillips. He's a very good boxer with tremendous skill ... its unfair that theres a standard held to prize fighter to where they aren't respected unless that get KO's or show some kinda pop. I think that if anyone wanted to see good boxing - they would find all they need in a Spinks fight.
Naw dude he's talking about that lunge and grab Zahir Raheem. Cory is way better to watch than that nonsense.
Thats Rahman ... i'm sure that the thred is about Zahir Raheem, the guy who beat Erik Morales and lost to Acelino Frietas ... who has only 1 title fight in 12yrs as a pro because no networks would take the chance on low ratings with him. The same guy was the last active fighter from the 96' olympic team to get a title fight.
I'll go with Raheem. His fight against Morales was not bad at all and shocked a lot of people around the boxing world. Spinks 2nd fight against Judah was alright, but still not very entertaining until late fight.
corey spinks? if you're insomniac go watch his fights.. zaheer raheem wins this CLOSE, VERY VERY CLOSE
