I loved his performance against Ricardo Mayorga, he totally gave him a boxing lesson. And this was just after Ricardo Mayorga beat Vernon Forrest, and despite what people say he did legitmately beat Zab Judah in there 1st meeting. Although it was a very close fight and he got knocked down late, he still beat him legitmately.
And i recommend watching both those fights above aswell, especially the Zab Judah fight that was a pretty good IMO they traded knockdowns in that one. As for there 2nd meeting it was more or less the same as there 1st meeting, until Cory Spinks got caught and he couldn't recover but he still done well vs Zab Judah until he got caught.
As for his other fights worth watching i recommend his last fight he had, his fight with Rafael Pineda, his 2nd meeting vs Michele Piccirillo, and his fight vs Miguel Angel Gonzalez.
A fight i don't recommend watching is his fight vs Jermain Taylor, that was one of the dulliest fights i've ever seen. I scored it a draw but unless you want to do your own scoring, there's nothing about that fight that you should waste your time with. All you need to know it was no more than 7-5 either way and lets leave it at that.
But finally i am actually a bit of a fan of Cory Spinks, he's got some good wins on his record and most of his wins were close losses. For certain a very good skillful fighter.
