    Cory spinks would give mayweather a tough fight!!!!!!

    About 95 percent of the people on this site have no clue about boxing so its only those remaining 5 percent that actually know all the aspects of boxing that I want to hear from on this matter. Seriously though I think Spinks is a clone of Mayweather except for the fact that Spinks HAS A QUESTIONABLE CHIN AND DOES NOT HAVE NEAR THE POWER THAT FLOYD HAS, I think they fight somewhat similiar. Both have very fast hands, both can punch from crazy angles, and both are defensive whiz's. What do all you home skillets think????

    I'm from Saint Louis, not in this life. Cory's conditioning would get him dominated and probably stopped late. My dude Cory chin is so easy to find.

      Not in 2010 my dude.

      Maybe back in 2006 when they were suppose to do it at 154. Then?? Sure. Now Floyd beats him up pretty bad.

        Exactly. When coreyhad legs, sure.

        His movement and everything has gone away now. watching him against latimore was painful.

        martinez is today what spinks was. Thats why the martinez fight is so intriguing.

          You seen Spinks vs. Latimore? (Great fight BTW). Spinks no longer has the legs.

              In his prime maybe.

              Not now.

              I think Floyd does everything better than Cory.

              The lefty stance makes it a little awkward.

              Floyd wins a one-sided UD.

                  A few years ago, sure......not now.

                  Spinks' legs are gone, as seen in the Latimore fight. And now that he's been off for over a year and balloons up in weight, not a chance, IMO.

                    Spinks is more of a Sweet Pea type clone than a Mayweather clone. Back in the day this may have been a very legit because Spinks was prime & quick while Floyd was a small WW, let alone 154 pounder. Now Spinks is not prime, has stamina problems, a weak chin, and doesnt move the way he use to. However, even if Spinks were prime, he wouldnt give Floyd trouble. Floyd has grown into his WW frame now so I think he would just walk Spinks down and tag him all night
