    I think Spinks is an alright fighter... good slick boxer. I don't particularly care for his style but I don't think he is the MOST underrated fighter in the game. Honestly, who has he beaten? His best wins are Zab Judah and Karmazin. He was KO'd in the rematch against Judah and the fight against Karamzin was really close. Add in the fact that he is 1-1 against Michelle Picirillo (I didn't see the loss but I heard it was a robbery) and that he ran like Jesse Owens for the 12th round against Karmazin and frankly I see where people who don't like him are coming from.

      You must be seeing something in Spinks that I don't. Yes he has good pure boxing ability but you can't ignore his less than stellar chin and that he has no real power at 154. That being said, I think he COULD outclass Rivera to win a UD. On the other hand he has two chances against Mosley... slim and none and slim is out of town. Mosley has enough power to rock Spinks' world like Zab Judah did. Mosley probably isn't at his best at 154, but he KO'd Vargas twice. IMO Vargas is much more durable than Spinks. Spinks clearly wouldn't be as easy to hit, but I think Mosley's speed and punch output insure that he would land enough shots to stop Spinks. If Karmazin had been more active he could have beaten Spinks.
      I disagree because the difference between Zab & Shane is that Zab is a lefty. Spinks has that advantage over everyone but Zab gave him mad problems because he was also a lefty, so he could netuarlize everything Spinks did because he is faster and has crazy power.

      Mosley & Spinks speed are close & Mosley definatly has more power but I think Spinks neturalizes all of that by being a lefty. He would give Mosley mad problems with that southpaw look and his slickness. I honestly dont think Mosley will be able to really land any clean punches on him
