If Cory Spinks fought at 147 how good would he be??

[KnockoutTheFat]

The WIND from his straight left would send Margarito into the seventh row. If it connected, it would send Marg backwards through time..

I now know why Spinks throws only 5 punches a round

Well, who has a better chance of beating Taylor? Spinks, or Cotto?

But anyway, Spinks would probably be too weight drained to compete. I hear the guy walks around 190...

not only Cotto but all the other names mention I think he could win some of them.

He could beat Clottey and Margarito he moves around alot with good speed nad a southpaw which is a nightmare style for Margarito

I doubt he can make the weight to do that though...

Cory Spinks once threw a punch that was so fast it traveled back in time and killed Hitler in Berlin.

He is a good boxer. I saw the 1st fight with Judah and agree that he would be a problem for alot of the top WW.

and that is why he went all the way up to fight Jermian Taylor?

Corey would able to handle them pretty good and even make them look bad if not win

No, the reason he went up was for money.

[LOLORSKATES]

He had trouble making weight during the Taylor fight. He was in the 190 range 2 months before the fight. I think you underrate the weight issue...

Then he needs to control his weight between fights.

yeah not now but on his days at 147

No, the reason he went up was for money.

yeah the money is in DHL and also with Mayweather. He couldn't make the weight and even came on the weight-in overweight.

He got some weight issues so maybe it could even be he is retiring or maybe even fighting at SMW

it not easy as you make out to be.

this could explain abit:

While Taylor (26-0-1, 17 KOs) weighed 159.8 pounds, just under the 160-pound limit, Spinks came in heavy at 161 pounds and needed 90 minutes of the two hours allotted under Tennessee rules to lose the weight. When he returned, Spinks made weight at 159.8 pounds for the fight Saturday (HBO, 10:15 p.m. ET).

Spinks (36-3, 11 KOs) said his extra pound was simply an accident. He has been weighing himself for weeks on the same scale that he had with him in training camp and at his hotel.

The official weigh-in, however, was conducted using the Tennessee commission's scale and the two were not exactly the same.

"It was just a miscalculation," Spinks said. "I was very surprised."

Spinks said he ate a breakfast of oatmeal and fruit Friday morning and weighed 159.8 on his own scale after eating. He said he took off the extra weight by simply walking around the streets of Memphis on a gorgeous sun-splashed day.

"This is no monkey wrench in my plans," Spinks said. "I feel great. I feel strong."

Kevin Cunningham, Spinks' trainer and manager, said Spinks began his training camp two months ago at 187 pounds. Spinks was 162 at the WBC's mandated seven-day pre weigh-in last week.

187.... My mistake but still...he must pig out between fights.

He lost close to 30 lbs in 2 months... eek...
