About 95 percent of the people on this site have no clue about boxing so its only those remaining 5 percent that actually know all the aspects of boxing that I want to hear from on this matter. Seriously though I think Spinks is a clone of Mayweather except for the fact that Spinks HAS A QUESTIONABLE CHIN AND DOES NOT HAVE NEAR THE POWER THAT FLOYD HAS, I think they fight somewhat similiar. Both have very fast hands, both can punch from crazy angles, and both are defensive whiz's. What do all you home skillets think????
How the fukk is Spinks still the champ anywyas? Im surprised he hasnt got stripped yet. It seems like he hasnt fought in a million years. I heard he was about to again though. I would like to see him fight someone like Margarito or something
I'm from Saint Louis, not in this life. Cory's conditioning would get him dominated and probably stopped late. My dude Cory chin is so easy to find.
Agreed. Cory gets owned by Floyd
Everything has been said already.
Cory's conditionning, heart and shit aren't enough for the stronger, more skilled, better puncher in Floyd Mayweather Jr. Floyd beats him by late KO or wide UD.
Hell no. Floyd has walked down every southpaw he's fought and Spinks is the lightest puncher. He also is more offensive minded against Southpaws. He will be walking him down and Spinks would be trying to counter. I think its just like the Floyd-Zab, Zab-Spinks fights.
See, my thing is that I have some bias towards pure boxers because for the most part I think the mass public (people like you) shit on pure boxers. Its not all about being a KO brawler. I love a high speed chess match and thats what this would be. Thats why till this day I think Spinks-Judah were some of the best fights you could see. pure boxing at a high level with elite speed
This is true.

Exactly ^
Floyd doesn't box against southpaws. He high guards and walks them down.
nah...Floyd will be shoulder rolling while Corey backpedals...that shit would be a bore

Well I can tell you what I know and it's this; Cory Spinks is not taking his career serious at this point and Mayweather kills him. Why might you ask, Well #1 his training quit on him due to cory not managing his weight properly and taking his career serious and #2 due to him dropping the ball on the Bundrage fight a few months ago.
Honestly a trainer will have faith in you when you don't even have faith in yourself. They are the last to quit on a fighter and when they walk that is a huge sign on how committed a fighter is to the sport of boxing.
I would've agreed a few years ago, but his last couple of fights have been iffy. Especially with Deandre Latimore. He just seems so much slower. Prime Spinks was ill. The kid had excellent speed.
talk about a stinker of a fight
Dont talk crazy. There wouldnt be nothing stinker about this. It would be just like Floyd-Zab or Spinks-Floyd and all of those were good fights
Spinks is more of a Sweet Pea type clone than a Mayweather clone. Back in the day this may have been a very legit because Spinks was prime & quick while Floyd was a small WW, let alone 154 pounder. Now Spinks is not prime, has stamina problems, a weak chin, and doesnt move the way he use to. However, even if Spinks were prime, he wouldnt give Floyd trouble. Floyd has grown into his WW frame now so I think he would just walk Spinks down and tag him all night
A few years ago, sure......not now.
Spinks' legs are gone, as seen in the Latimore fight. And now that he's been off for over a year and balloons up in weight, not a chance, IMO.
Exactly. When coreyhad legs, sure.
His movement and everything has gone away now. watching him against latimore was painful.
martinez is today what spinks was. Thats why the martinez fight is so intriguing.
We're on the same page :lol1:

In his prime maybe.
Not now.
I think Floyd does everything better than Cory.
The lefty stance makes it a little awkward.
Floyd wins a one-sided UD.
Not in 2010 my dude.
Maybe back in 2006 when they were suppose to do it at 154. Then?? Sure. Now Floyd beats him up pretty bad.
