    Pryor vs Pacman @ 140 - I'd pick Pryor, he beat a higher level of fighters at 140 than Pacquiao did (Hatton only), and he had just as good (if not better) power than Manny

    Mosley v Pbf @ 135 - Mosley SD, too aggressive and wild to get the TKO and completely dominate, but strong and fast enough to not allow Mayweather to settle in and keep it even

    RJJ vs Eubank @ 168 - Jones TKO, too fast, too strong, too elusive, he wouldn't get into a war with Eubank and he'd pick him apart

    holyfield v spinks @ 190 - Holyfield by a rather easy mid round KO, he was just as quick if not fast, stronger, and had the better beard, put them together in Holyfield's best weight (Cruiserweight) and IMO he'd completely dominate Spinks
    Why does everyone think Michael Spinks would get dominated ? it seems like most of you guys, haven't seen much of Michael Spinks. And base it only on the Mike Tyson loss. When really he was an overachiever at Heavyweight, he wasn't a legit Heavyweight.

    At Light Heavyweight he beat fighters like Marvin Johnson, Yaqui Lopez, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, ETC. Those are the whos/who of the Light Heavyweight division.

    i didn't base it on the Tyson fight, i based it on Spinks' best weight being Light Heavyweight and Holyfield being arguably the best Cruiserweight of all time, Holyfield always had great stamina (even at HW) he had fast hands, and his power was crazy at Cruiserweight, so honestly i think Holyfield (being a more aggressive fighter at that weight) would have overwhelmed Spinks and ended it in the later rounds

    Sweet Pea v Hearns @ 147 --- Hearns gasses when he can't hit him, Sweat Pea stops him 10or11 (yep, stops him)...Really bad style for Hearns to face imo...

    Pryor vs Pacman @ 140 --- Pac more fundamentally sound, faster. Decision...Problem with this comparison is quality of opposition, while I know "The Hawk" was avoided, Arguello is the only real elite that Pryor beat (and Alexis was really a 130lbs-er)...So based on the caliber of opposition I have to go with Manny.

    Mosley v Pbf @ 135 --- PBF, always had better fundamentals than Mosley and Shane has no speed advantage...PBF by decision.

    RJJ vs Eubank @ 168 --- RJJ decision as Roy's speed determines the outcome...but

    holyfield v spinks @ 190---- I like Mike in this one simply because of high work rate and angles while power is basically equal at this weight. I believe Spinks outboxes Evander...

    Michael Spinks was a very big Light Heavyweight though, so his attributes would of been no different at Cruiserweight. Dwight Muhammad Qawi was a great pressure fighter, he got beat handily. And that was a better version than the one Evander Holyfield fought. Remember Evander Holyfield was green at Cruiserweight, Michael Spinks was also great at using angles and had one punch KO power, see his fight vs Marvin Johnson.
