Styles make fights and styles win & loose fights. Head to head match ups don't really give a clear picture of a fighters talent and skills. Leon Spinks beat one of the top two heavies ever, so what!
The greats will defeat each other that's why their greats! If some people here could evaluate talent along with "reading a record" they would have a better argument when discussing over all greatness!
Could Moore out box Tunney? Probably not but he might out fox him!
Who can get by Spinks power? Could Foster match him? Could Moore frustrate him?
Evaluating a fighters talents is more precise than reading a record especially in Moore era when there were so many quality fighters who could defeat one another!
I'm waiting for the guy who says Moore has no chin, because he hit the canvass so many times. Of course that could happen when you fight every week to 12 days and your not exactly hitting your road work hard up north in the winter!!! Oh well what the hell there's so many variables in the sport that the average fan just doesn't realize.
I would get a kick out of seeing someone like Mayweather transported back to a boxing career that spanned from 1945 to 1960.
He couldn't pull off what he does now, he'd be booed out the auditorium back then even counter punchers had to fight!
