    Holmes was old and Conney was scared and pathetic.

    Spinks was good but IMO he would of be found as being to picky with his shots while Evander would of pressed more and really made Spinks uncomfortable.

    I would like to say stoppage but you never know. Im certain you would see Holyfield out working and out hustling his man.

    No contest Holyfield took the punches of Lewis AND Tyson , Spinks has no way of hurting him and Hlyfield was a fast paced KO machine at cruiser
    Holyfield KO 4

    Watch Qawi v Spinks when Qawi was at his best and unbeaten Spinks did a far better job first time than Holyfield. When he beat Holmes he was past his best as was Holmes.

    hello there MR BOOGIE .........holmes was a bit long in the tooth but he still was the unbeaten HW champion that outwieghed spinks by about 25 lbs and cooney also towered over spinks,spinks was a very small HW.....i dont think holyfield would get a KO ! maybe a close decision,but either way this would be a great fight...............unfortunatly for spinks if tyson didnt end his career we might have seen this fight happen.he fought a mike tyson that no other fighter had seen before,not many fighters could have beat that tyson................peace out

    Qawi was shot by then. He beat Evander the first time, and Evander couldn't take Lewis or Tyson punches when he was at 190 he didn't have the legs. I am not saying SPinks would hurt him, but he was the better boxer, and that would play a role in this. Also Holmes was still a great fighter, and he would given a prime heavyweight Evander Holyfield a very hard time with his jab and combinations at that time.

    agreed with everything u said....even a late 80's version of holmes would beat holyfield imo..... the 40 something yearold holmes almost beat holyfield..... imagine what a prime holmes would do to evander

    Teath my points excatly. Qawi also is an exact formula to make a judgement, Spinks was no stranger to pressure Qawi was nearly shot when Holyfield did Box him Funny the first time I saw an Oylimpic final when I saw Sinks he was the first fighter Id seen there that I thought would make it big in the Pros The next one was Holyfield even if he only got bronze you could see he was special. As was Spinks.

    What i said was in Holyfied-Quawi 2 he was shot... the first fight took to much out of him, and he wasn't the same again, but however he won the first fight IMO, and in alot of other peoples minds as well. Also its not just that Evander couldn't handle the power of Lewis or Tyson at cruiserweight, but he didn't have that level of chin at cruiserweight. I've seen him get rocked by a few cruiserweights who weren't special at all.

    Qawi was Evander’s 12th pro fight it’s important to remember that . Shit you got guys fighting today they got records like 40 something -0 never been in the ring with a live guy like Qawi ,

    As far as Evander’s worthiness as a cruiserweight . Evander sparred with Tyson and Bowe as an amateur weighting roughly 170 and some change ! He held his own with Tyson. They had to be separated ... And Evander was kicking Bowe’s ass this Duva was saying . Evander Holyfield as a young fighter was a force to be reckoned as scrap would say “ make no mistake “ !

    Qawi was Evander’s 12th pro fight it’s important to remember that . S*** you got guys fighting today they got records like 40 something -0 never been in the ring with a live guy like Qawi ,

    As far as Evander’s worthiness as a cruiserweight . Evander sparred with Tyson and Bowe as an amateur weighting roughly 170 and some change ! He held his own with Tyson. They had to be separated ... And Evander was kicking Bowe’s a** this Duva was saying . Evander Holyfield as a young fighter was a force to be reckoned as scrap would say “ make no mistake “ !
    So Evander didn't fight that many fights at cruiserweight period. Spinks would have still had the experience edge on him which further proves my point. However Evander fought alot of game fighters as an amateur. Tyson's biggest problem in amateurs was the protection it helped against the punches. Bowe must have been very young when he fought Evander at the amateurs because he is 4-5 years younger than Evander. I don't have a hard time seeing a 15 year old getting beaten up by a 19-20 year old.
