No, really. He's the #4 JMW in The Ring magazine's ratings. And apparently he's been in the top 10 for 141 weeks. How can he be ranked above interim champion Sergio Martinez and beltholders Sergei Dzindziruk & Daniel Santos when he hasn't won a fight since February '07?

Not saying he should be above Martinez and Dzindziruk, but Cory clearly beat Verno Phillips only to be robbed in his hometown (thats just harsh). Now Sergei was given a bit of a gift against Konecny, but it wasn't a complete robbery by any means. Sergei deserves to be ahead of Cory, but hey Angulo, Kirkland, Latimore, and Williams (if he stays) are the future of this division and even though I don't hate on Spinks as much as most do, apparently the hometown have ahd enough of his "fighting"

You can make good arguments for Spinks beating Phillips and Taylor.

Cory Spinks beats Angulo, Kirkland, Martinez..... But even with ALL of those EXCITING fighters, the fights would be BORING as hell.....

I dont think he would beat Martinez, but the rest, I agree. These are fights not even a PURIST would be able to watch without falling asleep.

He never runs.... He uses a bunch of angles and fights in a slow rhythm.... I think thats why he is good.... He makes others fight his fight... He fights like he is stoned or something....
