But didn't Spinks just take Taylor the distance? The guy who crumbled under a welterweight's power? Floyd is very elusive and has a hell of a chin. He wouldn't have a problem with Taylor's power imo. The problem is that De La Hoya showed an active jab gives Floyd problems. I would have to see the Spinks fight but this one is interesting, it might really be to much for Floyd. Size alone doesn't win fights though.
Very good points, but Spinks took Taylor the distance and made the fight close, he did not win. The question was who would win at 160. Besides Spinks has grown with age over the last couple of years, Floyd has not he just has bulked up from wieghts not natural body frame. If Floyd could go to 160 and beat either Taylor, Pavlik, Miranda, etc I think he would become a top 5 boxer of all time.
