Michael Spinks vs Roy Jones Jr

Post by zuru »

Light Heavyweight.Jones is as gifted as a fighter can be.Spinks is to me the hardest puncher in Light Heavyweight history.A lot rate Foster higher,but I think Spinks is more durable.Jones is unorthodox ,so is Spinks.

I see Spinks using his Height ,reach,awkwardness and power to beat Jones like he's never been beaten.Jones is fast but I don't think he could keep up with the frenzied pace Spinks often fought at.Spinks Roughs him up pushing him around to a brutal ko.

Spinks by KO. Both were very elusive, Jones due to reflexes and speed, Spinks due to awkwardness. Both carried huge power. It would be a tactical fight, where Spinks would edge with the help of his jab. Jones would try to sharpen it in order not to be outpointed and that's where Spinks would reach Jones' shaky chin.

Spinks by 8th round kayo. Jones would win early rounds since Spinks is a slow starter but around the 5th, Michael starts coming on. He has Roy out cold in the 8th, courtesy of the Spinks Jinx.
