I guess I am the correction fluid.
To Keith - If Spinks was a Cruiser wt then Walcott was one also. They were the same size.
To derek f and garret t - Walcott was not a power puncher (check the record) and Spinks was only KO'ed only once by Tyson (a great puncher[check the record])
This what I am always talking about wrong conclusions/opinions.
Walcott might win but definitely not by a KO. Please help them out Brad/Brent
WALCOTT - W 51 (KO's 32) TF 71 - W pct 72% - KO pct 45% - wins over Charles, Johnson, Bivins and Maxim - KO'ed by Louis, Simon, Marciano and 2 other average fighters - #66 ranked puncher - #13 ranked fighter
Referee for the Ali-Liston 2
Before Foreman he was the oldest to win Hwy wt title
SPINKS - W 31 (KO's 21) TF 32 - W pct 97% - KO pct 66% - wins over M. Johnson, Qawi, Holmes[2], M. Muhammad and Cooney - KO'ed by Tyson - #42 ranked puncher - #41 ranked fighter
Won 1976 Olympic Gold medal at Middle wt
Became first Lt Hwy wt to gain Hwy wt.
I think that Walcott was somewhat overrated and Spinks was underrated. Walcott's style has been copied by many and he was hard to hit. Spinks was very awkward and also hard to hit. This could be a very entertaining or a boring fight. This is a very close bout, so close that it ends in a 15 rd draw.

Walcott, this is no contest. Spinks is a cruiser weight at best, light heavyweight. I am not saying this because I don't like Spinks. I saw most of his fights and he was one of my favorites. He was an excellent fighter outside of the heavyweight division.

Jersey Joe had more tricks in his bag. Walcott by a razor thin split decision in a slow paced fight, where each fighter waits for the other to lead so they could counter.
