Michael Spinks vs Andre Ward

[Nile4000]

15/175, who wins?

Spinks on a one-sided decision is Ward goes defensive and fights to survive. If Ward tries to win, he gets stopped.

Ward definitely is not going to fight to survive. He's going to fight to win. I think he'd maul, and push, and wrestle, and headbutt and low blow, and elbow and whatever else he could get away with against Michael Spinks, and he'd make it a hard and difficult night for Michael.

Michael would control the fight on the outside. Ward would get the better of it on the inside. Spinks' work would look better, Ward's work would be ugly. Ward could easily get a point deducted for his tactics.

I'd favor Spinks to win 115-112 in a fight nobody would ever want to see twice.

Hell of a fight this one. Tremendous match up. Spinks throws and lands more on his was to a decision.

I can't think of many boxers beating a prime Michael Spinks. Spinks was one of the smartest boxers that ever lived. A thinking man's fighter. Just like Gene Tunney and Sugar Ray Leonard. Spinks use his intelligence around the ring.

Plus, he would be much stronger for Andre Ward. Spinks by knockout in 9.

This one. But also depends how much dirty tactics would ref tolerate.

[Ezzard]

Spinks was alos a master of the elbow. And Ward will not get away with his usual antics here with the ref. I see a late stoppage win for Mike. Or a 10-5 style decision at worst.

Michael Spinks was in a different class!
