He must have weight close to 200 lbs. Spink's didn't have great technical skill but he made up for it in Athleticism, strength, heart and speed. With such a weight difference the questions are could Spinks get a solid connect on Duran and could Duran have enough cumulative blows to do some real damage. My guess is Spinks connects and that's the end of it.Quote:

Duran fought at super middle and probably been big enough at heavyweight. Spinks just needed to be enticed with some chicks and drugs and Duran would win easy.
I go with Duran in about 10 or 11 rounds by stoppage. On his feet.
