Is Spinks p4p one of the greatest contemporary fighters of all time

[Rockybigblower]

If you are talking about Corey Spinks....then yes.

I understand your point but it’s not a good comparison but Jirov is an average fighter.

On the flip side to that you have an example like Holyfield, an actual great Crusierweight, he moved up and became one of the all time great Heavyweights.

You’ve even got an example of a decent Crusierweight, David Haye who moved up and had decent success.

They were built different. Both were like bodybuilders. Holyfield had solid power. Haye had legit KO power at heavyweight

And just different level fighters to the likes of Jirov who is an average fighter at best.

Sad times in a great sport where there are now multiple champions for every weight class.

How many Champions of the World can there be?

I only saw Jirov vs Toney. Many have looked average, at best, in bouts against James.

Where are you from Dan?

spinks for sure could have grabbed a UD off 90s Foreman. Moore almost did and he stood in front of him all night. George was slow in the 90s and Spinks was slick and fast. Look what he did to cooney. Have you no concept of boxing styles whatsoever?

Iâd bet my house Spinks washes Holyfield too, esp the musclebound one.

Moorer would be a tough one, a pick em.

I think you need to discard ,"for sure, " and substitute ,"imo,"in its place.

Yes he is. ATG and a good one for lhw goat.

I like Spinks. A very good LHW champ. But Holyfield would have taken him apart with ease.

- - Spinks easily dismantled prime Qawi.

Not so long after tubby Qawi put Field in a death watch ICU scare.

Spinks easily lifted Rocky jockstrap for Lar who much later turn Field ugly mug into chop steak.

Must be mighty BIG kid for 3rd grade…

Many have looked like ATG's against Toney including mutliple unranked journeyman when he was in his prime.

Jirov is just an average fighter who beat no one of note in his career.

I'm from the UK.
