Michael Spinks vs Cleveland Williams

[uncle ben]

"most who pick Williams to beat Spinks".................

Most here only look at size then read a record to look for "common opponents" and then come up with an opinion. There are only a handful of members here who can actually converse on skills and talent. Most fans in any sport don't know anything about Methods and Techniques.

Spinks would have a shot with Williams because to me he's the SAME size AND has more talent!
There is ONE inch difference in height, big deal!

I don't look at Spinks as a "blown up light heavy" if he's fighting in an Open division where there are NO weight limits then he's a heavyweight! Those are the rules!

OK I can't write another line about this topic, kind of boring.

Well we said the same thing in a different way because that's the point I was getting at.

If Williams were fighting today, would he be called Cleveland "The Steamer" Williams or just The Cleveland Steamer as a nickname haha?

Or maybe just... Cleaver!

Good one, but wouldn't be as funny. I could see him naming his punches The Cleaver, maybe a right cross and The Steamer, maybe a hook. Then he could squat over the chest of a downed opponent to really drive the point home.
