No way out for "timid" Michael Spunks in this one. He'd be quaking in his boots no different than how he quaked in his boots vs Tyson.
Marciano was just as intimidating.
Marciano KO 4

Marciano manhandles Michael Spinks. Body shots will crack ribs on both sides of that skinny little stomach
Marciano by brutal knockout in round four
Spinks was light heavyweight but did OK against Cooney and I think that version beats Rocky most days of the week.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Rock is no Tyson he does not even have the speed to even hit Spinks and his reach is that of a welterweight then factor end he weighed 20 pounds less to boot. Spinks hung with Holmes who went on whoop Mercer and should of got the nod against McCall they fought real hw.
Spinks gave Holmes a hard fight and i think did enough in the rematch no doubt to get the nod Holmes is a calibar of heavyweight Rocky has never saw hell most of lhw Spinks whooped were the size of what Rocky was beating in his day there from different time frames.
Rocky never had the speed to beat anyone. That was the rap against him. But he always found a way. The guy had perfect timing and beautiful positioning believe me he would catch him he would catch him and remember what Rocky all he needed was one punch. ALSO SpIcnks did not have a very good chin did he. Also comparing spenK's performance against Larry Holmes is a little misleading as Larry Holmes was already an ageing old man by 1986 the guy was 36 years old man. Michael Spinks could not come anywhere near a 26-year old Larry Holmes and you know it that would be a complete mismatch
The only guy to legit knock Micheal spinks on the canvas was Mike Tyson but he did that to everyone during that time. That does not make Micheal bad the only man to floor him is Tyson. Spinks chin held up to everything else that ever happened to him he had very strong chin.

Yes Brock we know. And in your world the Rock would fight crime, win a Noble Peace Prize, win an Oscar and cure cancer. But I believe Spinks would beat the Brockton Blockbuster by TKO on cuts.
Spinks would bow out after a few crushing body shots. He would be wincing every time Marciano unleashed. Spinks would last until late, maybe Round 10, 11 but Marciano hunts his ASS DOWN AND LOWERS THE BOOM. NO ESCAPING IT. Granite chinned Rocky would withstand the light-hitting Spinks all night long.
Remember how many punches landed on Cooney?
Rocky would not be able to take half them.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Rocky for a guy with no speed he did not half knock the snot out of them.
A tough guy who was not supposed to win always found a way.!
A rough tough SOB that's Rocky you can say all you want the undefeated HW Champion of the World.
