Why did Spinks retire?

[dansweeney]

spinxjinx, cory is a fraud man, he lost against mayorga, and he judah will knock him out, its a guarantee, judah is on a mission, cory just does not have enough power to keep anybody at bay, lets say somehow he gets past judah, he will def lose his next fight, mosley or delahoya would kayo him rather easy, cintron would kill him, margarito would also kayo him, he is the 3rd best spinks in boxing history, you'll see

Michael knew he had slipped and didnt have anything to offer or anywhere to go. Michael was smart, it was a passing of the torch type deal. Michael stated years back in a boxing magazine he retired because he came to a roadblock (Tyson) and he couldnt go to any other division and couldnt do anything better than he had done in his career.

Michael was a smart man inside and out of the ring, he knew when to pass the torch and when to hang them up.

Dont dissrespect one of the greatest Light Heavyweights in history.

Sweeney-Im picking Judah over Spinks due to Spinks not training, but im pulling for my boy to put the Jinx over Judah for a second time. But please use your head nobody is getting knocked out in this fight, both fighters are to strong for that.

If Zab comes in disciplined and focused it's over for the Jinx.

Pretty Boy Floyd could come and take that undisputed Welter-Weight crown from him, but he has unfinished business at 140..

Cory has a pretty good defense, the boy can box. Cory is underestimated and at the caliber of cory and judah these 2 could fight 100 times and a knockout wouldnt come against each other. Say you what you want but I had Spinks winning against Mayorga, People were looking for a slugfest and Cory boxed his ass off that night and used his skills and speed to counter everything Mayorga had.

Cory is still young and can take a punch (he was in their with Mayorga) Noone except the top fighters stand a chance at Cory in my views, Spinks would dismantle Mosley at this point in Mosley's career. Cintron and Margarito knockout or kill Cory would be a joke, Cintron would gas out and Margarito would get countered against cory's speed. De La Hoya would struggle with a fighter like Cory due to his footwork, something DLH hasnt showed to be good in his last couple of fights.

To many people supress Spinks talents and dont like him, but the boy can box and box good.

The sport is to Hit and not to be hit, light fisted or not Cory lands his shots and makes the other guy miss.

Spinks vs Mayweather is my dream fight at the moment. Probably one of the best boxing displays you would see in current times.

This man can box and has got some pretty good skills. Its ashame people put down fighters because they feel their styles aren't "exciting"

This is boxing not brawling.

he definitly can box, but he is going to come up against a guy who will pound him because he has feather fists, if he sat on his punches more who knows? i just wasnt real impressed with his performance against miguel angel gonzales, he didnt look right in that fight

I've always felt that Judah's character is in question. Too much macho and showboat and not enough fight. If he would concentrate and box without the crap, he should beat Spinks. Unfortunately, a guy can't change overnight. He has too much ego. I look for Spinks to win another decision. he is a slick boxer who will stay away from Judah and win on points.

To beat Cory you are going to need a fighter who boxes and hits like bricks, Tszyu would be that man.


However Tszyu beating Cory would be questionable due to Tszyu's age and layoff.

Another fighter who aside from Tszyu and Mayweather would be Cotto. He is another guy who can box and put his power in all of his punches.

Any guy who can utilize that will defeat Cory. Unfortunately nobody at 147 can do that at the moment.

i dont like zab's ****iness either, but i think he even realizes he has come to a crossroads where he either buckles down and fulfills his true potential or fades away in to mediocrity, i think he is finally focused for the first time, a focused judah could be scary i think
