I gotta agree with ya Lyle. Spinks isnt an elite fighter to begin with, then to go up in weight and right into a title fight might a little to far. He should have test the waters first with a tune up. Somebody said that people are saying Spinks has more pop at this weight. He might have but it still wont be 154 pop, he wasnt a banger at 147 and he wont be one at 154 either.
