Michael Spinks v. Chris Byrd

What happens?

Byrd's advantages go out the window vs the Jinx.

Spinks by UD.

I think it would be an interesting chess match between two good technicians. Spinks awkward style would give Byrd a puzzle to solve while Chris's elusive quickness and movement makes Spinks work a tad harder. Close fight. I'm going to take Spinks by a narrow decision, but the opposite isn't impossible. Remember, Michael is out of his natural weight class here.

As is Byrd he was a natural light heavy who grew to become a natural cruiserweight who chose to bulk up for the better money at heavyweight.

[The End]

Yup

And Spinks could punch.......

[polecateddy]

I don't see any reason why Bryd wouldn't also have done well against the ageing Holmes. I think this is close, and Bryd showed he could win close fights even when on the slide.

Byrd was too passive to take a decision from Holmes, though very underrated I think Byrd is in a bad style match up vs Spinks

Spinks SD 12

Spinks is the heavy favourite - and I think he wins it on points.

They both boxed in the Olympics as middleweights.
