    I think Hagler is just ultimately avoidable for everyone given the option. :yep

    Avoid ......

    Duran - Would hunt Floyd down and swat him aside like a troublesome fly at the lower weights .

    Hearns - At WW this would pretty much be a matter of time before one of Hearns's bombs tests Floyds chin like its never been tested. With disastrous results.

    But..........

    That is some pair. Those wins are underated, especially given Tiger's dimensions (short and thick).

    It's in the book, I remember the story well (though not which fight it was). Tiger just ripped his clothes of and starting calasthenics right their in the weigh in room :lol: Press, all looking at each other and that.

    That book is due a re-read, when I hit the story i'll maybe throw something up.

    Yeah.

    I think Spinks vs Greb would be very interesting. :good

    Very underrated, especially as Torres was mooted as Ali's next opponent (or at the very least a future one). A rumour which he himself started. :D

    I'd favour Spinks, but don't see it being a mismatch.

    Spinks is a 6'3 master boxer with a 76" reach.

    Greb is 5'8 with a 71" reach, is lighter and a boxing-swarmer.

    The styles, the physicality all favour Greb. Lord knows he has a trick or two (or two dozen) but he doesn't have a bag deep enough to overcome these disadvantages. I think a peak Spinks busts him up worse than Tunney did.
