10 Rounds Heavyweight Bout
The Leon Spinks who beat the aging Muhammad Ali in their first fight would outbox and outpunch Bigfoot Martin to take a decision. If the Leon Spinks who show up losing to Ali in their rematch, stopped by Larry Holmes and Gerrie Coetzee and Cruiserweight champions of Carlos DeLeon and Dwight Muhammad Qawi, then Bigfoot would outbrawl a shot Neon Leon to take a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?
Leon Spinks vs. Everett "Bigfoot" Martin
Re: Leon Spinks vs. Everett "Bigfoot" Martin
A prime Leon Spinks beats Martin by decision, probably by a wide margin. Martin was just a club fighter. His forte was lasting the distance against world class foes. Little more.
But if you're asking about the early 1990s version of Leon, who was clearly shot, well, that's another question. Martin could have beaten an over-the-hill Spinks, who by that time was only 25% of the fighter he had once been.
