Real Talk:Cory Spinks was than all these current guys

Speaking of mop the floor it's pretty sad that Leon Spinks is or was recently a janitor.

"Mop the floor?" No way, but he would certainly be hell for any of them.

So Cory gets knocked out by Judah, yet you believe he would "wipe the floor" with the current welterweight crop... :lol1:. "Wipe the floor" is laughable. Spinks was a very good, solid, and underrated fighter, but a prime version of Cory would not "wipe the floor" with the elite at 147. Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Mosley would really test Spinks' will and I have almost no doubt that Pacquiao would stop him. I say that because Spinks doesn't do as good against southpaws (especially quick ones) as he does against orthodox stance fighters. He'd beat Berto, but have a problem against Clottey.

The current Corey Spinks would get KO'd or embarrassed by all the top welters. I think he's a paper champ at JMW. The prime Spinks was solid.

120, Spinks was very good but these other guys are good too. He's not moping the floor with any of them. They would be good fights to watch and I would give him a shot but he shouldnt be favored over any of them except for maybe Cotto. I mean he did get stopped by Zab and I thought Zab won the 1st fight or was a draw

Came you blame him? Spinks is the truth be beat Zab once and Mayorga TWICE which is something Floyd would not attempt to do. spinks and mayorga only fought once

floyd was coming up but spinks lost his titles to judah and then went away in a sense. if u watch the spinks-judah fight they were talking about how the winner gets floyd, and ofcourse we know whos champ in the lou.. lol That's not what my sources had told me. Corey was after May but he got scared and didn't want none of it

On second thought you may have some points and was just making the kid look good because he liked him alot. Besides I heard Floyd didn't want any part of him after that one, remember when he called him out? I believe they almost fought, but Floyd chose either Oscar or Baldomir (just can't remember who or when that was). Spinks might have beat Floyd and the other top Welterweights. But Spinks style is way to boring because he is too much of a runner. He makes Floyd look like a combination or Mayorga and Gatti.

I'm telling you, if Spinks was still around in the WW division, there wouldn't even be talks of other fighters. All these guys here would be talking about Spinks and nothing else. It is abvious some here did not see Spinks in his PRIME

Cory WANTED floyd to come up, but I got some sources that say that May punked out. He waited to Spinks to leave the division floyd was coming up but spinks lost his titles to judah and then went away in a sense. if u watch the spinks-judah fight they were talking about how the winner gets floyd, and ofcourse we know whos champ in the lou.. lol

Spinks was a pretty good fighter, although I'm far from a fan of his style. He and Mayweather were negotiating for a fight in the fall of 2006, at 154. Some felt that it would help Mayweather get some leverage in negotiations for a De La Hoya bout as Floyd would also have a belt at 154. Talks of their negotiations was mostly met with fans angry. Mayweather ending up fighting Baldomir for the WW title. In retrospect, despite Mayweather-Spinks being unpleasing to the eye, it would've been a much more compelling and competitive bout than the Baldomir one.

Cory WANTED floyd to come up, but I got some sources that say that May punked out. He waited to Spinks to leave the division

not only good man. He would mop the floor with ALL of them Imo he wouldn't come close with mopping the floor with Pacquiao or Mayweather. He would beat Cotto and give Mosley hell.

A prime Spinks yes,he would do good. Cory of now isn't anything to fear. not only good man. He would mop the floor with ALL of them

A prime Spinks yes,he would do good. Cory of now isn't anything to fear.
