Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Cory Spinks on the horizon...

[jon09]

Cory has a belt (IBF light middleweight) and feather fisted... PBF Jr. a smart guy...
.

Yeah I guess so but it is going to be a very booooring fight.

Pointless if it happens

Most probably... but Cory tried to mix it up in his last fight with Latimore and he almost lost that fight...

You can almost see this coming.King and Mayweather in all kinds of 'discussions' leading into Spinks/Latimore,then King standing there in the post fight interview on TV yelling..."We're coming for you Mayweather...Get ready Mayweather".Spinks was ripe for the picking in with green Latimore,contrary to The commentators...he looked terrible but recieved the points win.A beatable "champion" with a strap,nevermind it being 154,Floyd could come in catchweight and brutalize Spinks,and take his trinket to propell into another big show.I dont put anything past King,or Mayweather if it means another 'belt'.We've seen crazier things.

Spinks is not the opponent I was hoping for, but I suppose I can grant Mayweather a tune-up. Spinks is a good boxer & is becoming more watchable as his legs have slowed! Has a bit of a name, plus a trinket... smart move on Mayweathers behalf (who cares about the fans?)

If he wanted to make a statement of a comeback (not against the elite or big names in Marquez, Pac/ Hatton winner, Williams, Cotto or Berto) then someone like Sergio Martinez or Timothy Bradley would have been better imo

Floyd would get the same sort of flak if he fought someone like Forrest or Collazo so Spinks ain't that bad

But I feel Cintron or Quintana may have been better options...

I think Cory Spinks is pretty dangerous, he's tough to hit, he's fast, he is bigger than Mayweather, and he has great boxing skills.

[Tysonbruno]

Lets not forget Floyd has been out of the ring 17 month on May 8th even Floyd Mayweather needs a tune up before anything big.

I'd be more curious who'd win at madden. Shit you mid-as-well make a circus of it and have him fight that latimore kid the same night too.

[Kev]

I actually really like this fight. Tough ask for Floyd, you guys saying this is easy are forgetting just how small Floyd is.

Spinks is a legitimate junior middleweight and has even fought for the undisputed middleweight world title. Floyd's natural weight class is probably 140 right now so even at welter he's giving a lot of size away.

After more than a year out, going straight into a world title fight with Cory Spinks, who hasn't been beaten decisively since the second Zab Judah fight and was arguably unlucky to have lost to both Jermain Taylor and Verno Phillips.

I'd make it 60/40 in favour of Floyd but Cory has a great chance imo.

i have no problem with the fight

You mean he use to be hard to hit. Lattimore has one of Boxings most predictable offenses. And had no problem landing on Spinks. This fight would of been intriguing years ago when it was first discussed. Now it's one-sided. Spinks is done. By alrights he should of lost his last fight. Cuz he didn't deserved the win.

On all side note, Marquez beats Spinks easily.

Yeah when Spinks was champ at 147 at Mayweather was around 140. I still think Floyd would have knocked his a** out.

I'm not sure what Bilbo has against JMM but he seems to be picking everyone over him, Valero, Spinks... at least Valero has th potential to be competitive!

You really think Marquez would knock out Cory Spinks?

p4p maybe but in an actual real fight Marquez loses handily. He's a featherweight, Spinks is a junior middle, just because Manny Pacquaio was able to beat a naturally 160 lb Oscar weighing 143 lbs doesn't mean Marquez can move up another 3 weight classes and beat him.

Marquez vs Karmazin at 154 is a mismatch, Marquez gets battered.

It's not that I have anything against Marquez its just that we are talking 20 lbs difference in weight classes here.

In a mythical p4p where everybody weighed the same and were the same size then Marquez is a much tougher fight for Floyd than Spinks, but we don't live in that world and a 130 lb Marquez ballooned to 147 is simply an easier fight for Floyd than a Cory Spinks fighting in his natural weight class of 154 lbs. He's three inches taller, has a 5 inch reach advantage over Marquez and Floyd would have to be very careful to beat him.

It's a tricky fight, Marquez on the other hand would be fighting so far over his natural weight that he'd be easy pickings for Floyd.

How can you not see that?

This is what I don't understand about people on here. They criticise Carl Froch's win over Taylor saying he was great at middleweight but nothing at super middle, just one division up from where he started his career but they believe that Marquez would be able to go up from his starting weight of featherweight to junior middleweight to knock out Cory Spinks, and that he'd be a tougher fight for Floyd going up to 154 to face Spinks, a three time and former undisputed champion at that weight?
