if taylor had of givin PBF that much respect he would have gotten outboxed. the only reason i say this is because people were talking about if PBF jumped up to 160.

I don't think PBF would have fought Taylor in the first place.
It wouldn't have got him more money then to fight Oscar.
Spinks took a risk I don't see PBF taking(no disrespect to PBF though) but after what Spinks did to Taylor who would pay to watch Mayweather fight him now ???
Spinks ruined any mystique or aura of invincibility that Taylor had left.
I agree with all the above except the bit about an aura of invincibility, Taylor never had that in the first placeQuote:

I think had it been Mayweather Jr rather than Spinks in there last night he would have got the nod, even if the fight played out identically.
I think Floyd is too small. We have to remember that Spinks at 5 ft 9 is not that small, I know Floyd is quoted at 5 ft 8 but I'm sure he's smaller.
He always looks tiny in person, much smaller than Cory imo.
::**Excuse me, but let's stop acting as if Spinks took ANY kind of risk. #1, he had NO other options. 154 is a wasteland and the man has zero star power to attract any fighter of any kind of recognition, and #2, he had absolutely nothing to lose, as no one would pick him to win.Quote:

I also love how the village idiot of the board says "Spinks ruined Taylor's mystique of invincibility ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D" as if anyone who 60% of the public believes has lost numerous fights is invincible to begin with ;D ;DQuote:
