Cory Spinks at his best would beat Floyd Mayweather

[DLT]

This is a fight Ive always wanted to see but I cant see Spinks winning. He definatly wont win by a large margin like the OP said and I do think it would be alot more exciting then people think, due to the fact that neither guy would fear the other one's power and I think Floyd would be trying to walk him down.

Still, I think Floyd wins comfortably due to the fact that Spinks is just missing something for some reason. You can tell that he fights kind of like Sweet Pea and has great boxing skill but he's not totally a master at it. Floyd is. I actually thought that Spinks lost both fights to Zab

Do you see any fighter in history beating Floyd? Serious question.

I Think Spinks could give Mayweather a lot of trouble, I really do not think Spinks would do enough to win though. That said i think it would be a very hard fight for Floyd that would look a lot like a game of tag.

I wouldn't be too sure of that, Spinks had a lot of problems with Judah in both their fights, Mayweather is a better fighter than Judah and knows how to exploit his opponents' weaknesses.

Do you see any fighter in history beating Floyd? Serious question.

It depends on what you mean by that. I truly believe that P4P he is a top notch ATG but the problem is that he moved up so quicly to chase the big money, big fame Oscar fight. I believe that if he stayed at 135 for a long time and ended his career at 140 then everyone would be judging him differently because he would be a much more Offensive fighter who would have crazy skill. However, that is his cut off line. I believe that he can still win at WW and 154 because his skill level is so high but I wouldnt be shocked at all to see him lose to some guys and that goes for pretty much every opponent in history against him.

Basically Im saying that from 130-140 I would be hard pressed to pick someone over him but Im sure there are some truly greats who could possibly beat him or give him trouble. Above that weight I probably would go against him in alot of major fights just due to his size. He's just too small IMO to be there but he can still win because he is so great. Your not going to convince me that anyone believes that P4P Margarito is a better fighter then Floyd. Its not even close. However, the problem is that Floyd is coming in his 4th weight class unaturally and is coming into the ring on fight night at only a 148 pounds which is pretty much his walk around weight while the other guys at WW are in there 1st weight division, coming into the ring at easily over 160 pounds, and walk around outside the ring at 180.

Its like people trying to compare him to guys like SRL or Hearns and they say that they would kill Floyd. I think they would beat Floyd also but how fair is that? When people say that there really just judging them at WW vs Floyd at WW but the same thing applies as I just said. They were so much more naturally bigger, stronger, and able at that weight then he is. However, if you judge them in a P4P sense then I think Floyd was equally as good, if not better in his 1st divison at 130 then they were in there 1st division at WW and he moved up in weight way better then they did. They didnt look nearly as good at the higher weights but he still has. Do you see where Im coming from? I would pick Floyd over Cotto, Margarito, and Williams but I also wouldnt be shocked at all to see them beat him and I think they will all be boring fights because he would have to be extremely defensive, maybe except for the Williams fight. However, if he was like Pac and could move up and still come into the ring at 160 like they are and be strong at that weight then I would give them no chance because he's clearly better then them.

Thats why I think he wont fight them. He wants someone to beat him because there better then him, not because they were just too big for him to do anything with. Its like I could also see Floyd losing at 154 to a guy like Karmazin easily but does that mean that Karmazin is better? He's just a small guy so thats why it upsets me that people say that he has to fight these huge guys to be great. How would they look in there 4th division against a big monster? They would get killed against Pavlik. Pac can do it because he's huge. Every division he goes to he is always the biggest guy in the division until now and even now he is still the same as all the big guys. He's never been in the ring when he's outweighed by 15 pounds and the guy is way naturally stronger. its a whole different match. Cotto found that out against Margarito. Cotto makes Floyd look like a kid. He's way thicker & stronger. He even made Zab & Shane look like a kid. Then he fights Margarito and Margarigto makes him look like a kid, yet Floyd has to fight him?

Cory Spinks would make Mayweather do the Judah-Chicken Dance.

Straight up.

Mayweathers first fight back to the top is going to have to beat Judah. I dont know if he'll be capable of getting past him again.

[KostyaTszyu44]

mayweather would win this one....

[The Gully Gad]

Mayweather would rally mid rounds and take over the fight

[MANGLER]

Very dull, but evenly matched fight. I could actually see either guy winnin a close decision.

[ufirst]

I dunno man, I wonder if the guys posting that Spinks could win even saw the first Spink/Judah affair. Judah basically gave Cory too much respect because o his boxer rep. Add to that he got hit while slipping and it was ****ed as a legit knockdown-he was never hurt. However, after that fought with some urgency and took the half step inside he need to land the right hook and left and Corey barely finished the fight. Zab realized he could hurt this guy easy and took him out in the second fight. That said Floyd is a much better all around fighter as Zab; is maybe a hair quicker but sustains it over the whole fight; doesn't have as much pop but can crack pretty decently when his hands hold up; finally is way mre focused and figures out his opponents much more quickly ad neutralizes their strength, ask Zab. Cory Spinks would have no chance at 147. At 154, his size might help him a bit bt I'd still pick Floyd by UD..
