Light Heavyweights: Michael Spinks vs Matthew Saad Muhammad

[scorpio83]

This should have been an ultimate light heavyweight match up in a 15 round distance between Michael Spinks and Matthew Saad Muhammad. Would Michael use his awkward boxing style of jabbing, moving and landing Spink Jinx right hands to overcome "Miracle" Matthew's aggression to take a decision or Saad would cut him off and landing punches on the body and head to take a decision. Imo, Spinks would decision Saad in 15 rounds and what do you guys think?

The great Michael Spinks by UD. A very smart fighter.

Because MSM was a true kamikaze in the ring, he would be a mess by the 12th or 15th whichever the length.
Spinks would dominate, and possibly KO, but more likely it would be a fight that would be stopped in this era, but might have been left to develop to a very beaten up and bloodied MSM in that era. I'm guessing Saad could/would get up off the canvas a few times to surprise the audience with a few rallies as well.

Saad had very few equals in absorbing incoming, and Spinks would be rather calculating and patient with his uninterrupted delivery of same.

Saad is my second favorite fighter. But I think this is a tough one for him. Spinks probably cuts him up and stops him.......but if Saad lands!?!?

[DrDuke]

Spinks would outbox and KO Saad.

Love Saad, but he never beats Spinks.

That's no slight on Saad, because very few LHWs in history would have beaten Spinks.

Spinks was a magnificent 175lber.

Spinks was very smart, I doubt he comes near stopping him, trying gives saad his best chance. Mike by wide Dec.

[Woldemar]

Spinks by pts or late stoppage.

Too good for Saad.
