As soon as Arreola landed clean Spinks would be reeling. Spinks would more than likely attempt to outbox and outfox "Crisco-ball" (thought you might like the nickname brock) rather than wallop him as he did an aged Ali who was playing the final notes of the rope-a-dope symphony.

Ali didn't have that snappy reaction the way he countered Foreman when he was fighting Spinks. Had he, I believe just a few sharp right crosses and flurries would have had him out of there.


I think a Michael Spinks vs Floyd Patterson matchup or Michael Moorer are fun to think about.
