what if: Cory Spinks vs. Antonio Margarito @ 147

[Fox McCloud]

I wish I knew more about the chin of Cory Spinks...

He got KO'd by Judah, but it was anything but a soft punch that put him out. He got absolutely blasted by that left.

Anyway, I don't think the Spinks jab would be enough to keep Margarito off (considering Cotto couldn't keep him off), and he really doesn't have great enough movement to avoid Margarito for 12 rounds.

I would lean towards Margarito KO, because I think he would be able to connect with something big in one of those 12 rounds, but Margarito decision might be a decent call as well.

Spinks UD....

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Spinks doesn't have the stamina to keep Tony off him. He can outbox Tony for eight rounds or so.. but then....

[Don Johnson]

Spinks of today and 2003 would UD Marg but then again he fades in the later part of fights sometimes. He can outboxbigger guys though(he's 5'10")

[MANGLER]

Similar to Cotto, Cory would likely put on a clinic but would ultimately tire and be stopped.

[Fried Chicken]

If Spinks has the stamina to just stay away the entire fight, he could pull off a decision.

[Pico Hollywood]

Similar to Cotto, Cory would likely put on a clinic but would ultimately tire and be stopped.

spinks knows how to clinch, with that being said margarito by late tko
