12 or 15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Big Daddy would overwhelm Neon Leon behind his jabs and body punches before setting him up with big left hooks and right hands to knock Leon out in 2 rounds. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Leon Spinks would be doing well to survive 1 round. He'd need a miracle to survive 2.

Have a mercy on Spinx.

I think you would see a knockout similar to how Riddick Bowe knocked out Michael Dokes. I might be a harsh judge but Leon Spinks was the worst title holder in heavyweight boxing history, I personally would put money down on Tommy Burns beating him as well as Marvin Hart and several alphabet champions throughout boxing history.

The man is only ever put into the conversation because he happened to beat Muhammad Ali when Muhammad Ali was absolutely a shell of himself and the fact that he lost the rematch goes to show that Leon was really a champion out of circumstance more than anything else.

We will never know how good Leon actually could have been because his entire life unfortunately went down the tubes due to alcohol and drug addiction, we can only go by his record and quite frankly outside of Muhammad Ali there is not a single solitary name on his record of anyone who was actually any good that he beat.

Bowe early if at peak. Such a talent.
