Re: Tony Tucker vs Leon Spinks
Tucker by massacre.
Re: Tony Tucker vs Leon Spinks
Tucker wins handily I'd say.
Re: Tony Tucker vs Leon Spinks
Tucker knocks out Leon Spinks. The size differential, plus Tucker's superior athleticism and power, point to that outcome.
Leon rarely did well against big, world-class heavyweights. His Ali and Mercado wins are the only exceptions. But in those bouts, Ali was hopelessly out-of-shape, and Mercado was just a musclebound, marginal contender with leaky defense. IMO these wins are not evidence that Leon could handle a prime, well-prepared Tucker.
Best I can say for Leon is that maybe he extends Tucker seven or eight rounds before folding.
