I think Spinks in general at 175 is one of the hardest fighters to defeat in Boxing history. I really think only Jones because of his speed and overall freakish talent is the only fighter in the last 30-40 years that could beat him there and I'd still pick Spinks.

175 is one of the greatest divisions in the history of the sport.

Prime Spinks against present day Kov is an early KO for Spinks, both in their prime is closer to Ward/Kov II maybe not as dominant.

I don't know if it was this site or another but people were actually saying that Kovalev would beat Tarver at 175 and I said that Tarver was a great counterpuncher and he'd catch him with something around the middle rounds or late. Now that we see Kovalev fades and can be counterpunched rather easily, I guess I'm not looking so stupid now.
