At Cruiserweight.Holyfield punch output was like that of a middleweight.Hard working ,good chin and desire.Not a big puncher but definitely capable of a ko.
Spinks was a two fisted bomber.Great defense,chin, boxing skills.Spinks showed he could handle an aggressive fighter.I think Holyfield was stronger but Spinks punched harder.I also think that while a ko was definitely possible,each mans chin negated each others power,if that makes sense.Both could fight in the trenches.
It's hard to say but I like to think Spinks would have done what it takes to beat him in a 15 rounder.Definitely a possible trilogy between them.

Re: Michael Spinks vs Evander Holyfield
Holyfield would be too relentless for Spinks, he'll make it a fight, Spinks wouldn't be able to fight his fight. Holyfield confidently.

Re: Michael Spinks vs Evander Holyfield
Holyfields power has always been underrated and he hit significantly harder than spinks. Ridiculous statement, however it would be a highly competitive fight. Vander by Dec.
