The Spinks that beat Cooney v the Foreman that beat Cooney who would win?
I think the Spinks that beat Gerry would have had the style to out box and out work that old George. What do you think?

Foreman in 6
Foreman in 3 or less. Spinks could barely wake up after Tyson hit him one counter punch. Foreman would be arrested for homicide after fighting Spinks.

Crazy....I thought this was going to be Corey Spinks vs Yuri Foreman :vd:
Big George would eventually catch and KO Michael.
Would probably go the distance.
Because Foreman at that point was a bit laborious and predictable, I think Spinks would be given enough chances or warnings to make the choice to fight more negatively and drag the fight out.
How effective at doing it he would be, was probably demonstrated a bit in the Holmes fights but obviously Foreman is a whole different kettle of fish.
Assuming the judges are nice; I'd go with Foreman by a couple of points.
I remembered the punches Spinks landed on Cooney which were fast and eventally devastating. I thought if he landed them against George he would keep him at bay and win a comfortable decision. George hated movers and if Morrison could win on points and Shultz then surely Spinks could do it too. Holmes could not land a big shot on Spinks too.Quote:

I think if Tyson had Spinks fearful? Old George would have had him catatonic prior to the fight. Foreman by DQ during the introductions when Spinks refuses to come out of his corner to receive final instructions.
Hell when Big George came back even Tyson was scared of him.
You lot are selling Spinks short for his inept showing against prime Tyson, Michael could handle slow footed fighters like George, I could see him outpoint Big George.
Fuck Spinks.
Yes he walked away with millions and stayed retired but lets not forget he was a great light heavy.Quote:
