Byrd is being overrated here. The 1985 spinks beats the best version of bryd very clearly. Bonecrusher gave a great analysis

I think spinks is just in a much higher class a fighter.

I’ll take Spinks to win a decision, Byrd loved fighting the bigger slower Heavyweights so he could lay back looking to counter punch them and then beat them to death with his fast pitty pat combos.

Spinks usually made you fight his fight. His awkwardness and lack of what looks like a traditional boxing rhythm would always keep you guessing, whether he’s doing his version of the Walcott waltz, or dropping right hands on you, or springing in with hooks, or triple or even quadruple jabbing you right in your face while sliding over and avoiding counters, he was usually effective.

Byrd had his hands full and one of his tougher fights with former Cruiserweight Arthur Williams early in his career. He was bothered by his jab and even dropped by his strait right.. Smaller guys were tougher outs for him.

I’ll take Spinks on points, he can pretty much match Byrd’s speed and is better conditioned, not that Byrd is out of shape I just think Spinks had an amazing motor and was better than Byrd. I’ll say Decision win, but if Chris makes a mistake and Michael lands his best right, Chris may fall victim to “The Jinx”
