Too close to call.
Spinks is the bigger man, that's why he can compete with Middleweights while Zab can't.
Also, JT was never an elite fighter. Semi-elite at his best, and now merely B level.
Pretty close really. Both guys have good, solid resumes and have beaten their fair share of good champions. Judah has faced much greater competition over the whole course of his career, but lost his biggest fights.
Nonetheless, they have both beaten the good champions they fought. Yeah, about even.
I thought Taylor clearly beat Spinks, but I'm going with Spinks in the poll. Judah is a better fighter though head to head.
Jermain had his patented late fight fade.
The resumes are close but Spinks showing v Jermaine Taylor was basically a draw v an elite fighter. Zab gets merked everytime he steps up to an elite fighter. I give zab credit for fighting everyone, but he is a gatekeeper. When spinks spanked mayorga, everyone thought mayorga was a total beast.
hahaha Spinks didn't SPANK mayorga. He Ran more then Hitting.

Mayorga and Lattimore are the best names on either resume outside of one another.
Corley and green Witter are okay, but... idk, just not that groundbreaking.
Well you can't just look at it on paper. Spinks' wins over Latimore and Karmazin are very impressive considering when they took place in his career and how he achieved them. Because of his deteriorating skills, he was forced to fight on the offensive and be aggressive against Latimore. While Karmazin was his first fight at 154 after a long layoff. Good wins that can be overlooked when taken otu of context.
And for the record I scored the Spinks/Taylor fight for Spinks...
Judah is seen as an underachiever, but he was still fairly dominant against average competition before the Tszyu Catastrophe. His win against Spinks is very solid as well.
both have shit resumes........and you gotta add spinks to judahs resume as well..wonder why they never had a third fight
Those aren't shit resume's, Larry. You gotta put shit in perspective. Judah and Spinks have had very good careers.

Spinks arguably beat Taylor. Zab would have got ktfo.
Yeah, I fell asleep during the 8th round of Spinks-Taylor and it was too boring to ever watch again but I do remember having Spinks up something like 5 rounds to 2.
