This would be interesting. Probably not the most exciting, but a herky jerky chess match perhaps.

Your right, it probably wouldn't be very exciting. I would give Spinks a good chance against any light-hitting heavyweight, which Tubbs was. Tubbs did have a good chin and good hand speed. Unlikely that either guy wouldn't score a ko. I would say Spinks would win a decision, something like 10 rounds to 5.

I'm going with Tubbs on a unanimous decision.Any heavyweight with good boxing skill to the least would have given Michael problems and Tony definitely fit the bill. If he had some power, he would stop Spinks.
