    Remember

    The only quality bouts that 'Kid Hustle' had before facing 'Old Man Muhammad' were against >
    * Pedro Agosto
    * Scott LeDoux
    * Alfio Righetti

    Not your 'top' list of tests.

    I would say that Chris Arreola dumps the {197 lb.} 'Kid Hustle' within 3-Rounds.

    Well...I'm certain I could beat Spinks, maybe even stop him. I am 90% sure of beating Arreola- he could land a lucky left hook- and I could stop him, too, if he gets tired.
    That 10% of uncertainty makes me lean to Arreola, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    As soon as Arreola landed clean Spinks would be reeling. Spinks would more than likely attempt to outbox and outfox "Crisco-ball" (thought you might like the nickname brock) rather than wallop him as he did an aged Ali who was playing the final notes of the rope-a-dope symphony.

    Ali didn't have that snappy reaction the way he countered Foreman when he was fighting Spinks. Had he, I believe just a few sharp right crosses and flurries would have had him out of there.


    I think a Michael Spinks vs Floyd Patterson matchup or Michael Moorer are fun to think about.

    Spinks stinks, Arreola would flatten him.

    Spinks beat and was beaten by a geriatric Ali. Big whoop!
