Who would have won ? Saad Muhammad vs. Micheal Spinks
Dream Fight: Who would have won and why - Matthew Saad Muhammad vs. Michael Spinks. Let's say Saad never fights Dwight Braxton in Dec. 1981. Instead, he fights another contender, say Jerry Celestine and wins via KO. He takes on Michael Spinks in a unification fight in early 1982. Who wins and why.
Re: Who would have won ? Saad Muhammad vs. Micheal Spinks
Great fight while it lasts but I'd have to go with Spinks. At 175 he was too strong. He was able to go up to HW, granted not a great HW but still enough strength to fight bigger/stronger men up there - not named Tyson.

Well they don't call him "Miracle Saad" for nothing.
Tough call for me but if I had to pick one just on instinct I'd side with Saad.

I'd go with Spinks, obviously couldn't count out Saad but Spinks was just a better fighter IMO.

Although I love Matthew Franklin A.K.A. Matthew Saad Muhammed. Spinks was invincible at light heavy. Saad was very tough a true Philadelphia warrior but Spinks was just another kind of animal. IMO Spinks stops him.
