Prime Michael Spinks vs. Sergey Kovalev at 175

[richardt]

You really think Kovalev wouldn't do more or less the same against the majority of those bums?

Eddie Mustapha? No. And again, it is not about resumes fighting resumes, it is looking at the fighters and what they accomplished and Kov is not there yet so come back in 5 years and we will see. And for the record, Marvin Johnson, Mathew Saad who were in their prime and others were hardly bums and that is just who Eddie fought and Spinks beat him! No one Kov has fought is even close to that one guy Spinks beat, let alone others.

The punching technique displayed by the opponents in that video was nothing short of atrocious.

Sorry but I don't ordain a fighter an all time great or mention him with all time greats till he actually proves this. Radical concept.

14 title defenses without a loss!!!!!!! Fought GREATS! Come back when Kov has done anywhere near that. I wont hold my breath waiting years, that is if he can accomplish anywhere near what Spinks has and that is just at 175.

Dude do yourself a favor n shut up

Spinks beat legit atgs at both heavyweight and light heavy and he looked very good at heavy despite being undersized. Great enough to give the top heavy of his era all he could handle.

Oh I'm sorry, I don't buy into the fact that every bum that fought before 1999 was some masterclass of a boxer. If you were the slightest bit objective you'd see what I said wasn't all that crazy.

I don't either. All I said was Kovalev would walk through many of those same opponents. But mentioning Kovalev vs Spinks specifically is jumping ahead of oneself.

When your best win is Cleverly, I don't think you're ready to be compared to the greats yet. This is way too premature.
