Spinks was an unorthodox fighter. If Spinks could stay away from Foster, Foster would will a 15 rd close but unanimous decision. If not, I see Foster in a 10th rd KO.

Great matchup Brent! I rank Foster #2 and Spinks #3 behind Archie Moore as the greatest Lgt Heavyweights of all time. Both men had great punching power and excellent boxing skills. This would be a good boxing match with both men using an effective jab against the other. I believe that both men would land some solid punches but would survive. I think that Foster wins by a narrow split decision.

I continuously concept approximately his one, and that i could respectfully disagree with Lestermo, Spinks became plenty extra useful than human beings provide him credit for, the Tyson combat became Michael's final hurrah, a money combat on the top of his occupation and did no longer advise that plenty to his over all legacy. the real assessment is the Foster/Ali combat vs the two Spinks/Holmes fights, and in that know Michael dominates Foster. great tournament up between 2 of the gentle heavyweight divisions ultimate, however the boxer might have out pointed the puncher. i think of that if Spinks could end Larry Holmes from breaking Rocky Marciano's record, he could have overwhelmed Foster besides. Michael Spinks via UD.
