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

[Kev]

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.

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?
