    It would go like Fury vs Wilder 1 but Spinks wouldn’t get up in the 12th.

      Sort of how I see it, he’d be ahead on the cards but at some point Wilder lands the right hand.

        I pick Wilder by KO. I think Wilder was overrated by many but after Fury KOed he him became underrated by many as if he never did anything good. Spinks was a great light heavyweight but never a heavyweight. He put on weight but it was not hard muscle weight. He lasted less than a minute of the 1st round with Tyson so I don't see him lasting 12 rounds with Wilder. Wilder is huge with a very long reach and a stiff left jab and a devastating straight right he throws with lightning speed. I think he lands his famous bomb on Spinks and it is over. Spinks was a good puncher at 175 but not so much as a heavyweight. He can't hurt Wilder the way Ortiz and Fury did.

          Spinks was tough enough to get by Cooney even if it was the right but time that Cooney was still better then Wilder is now . Wilder could win but with no real talent to actually win rounds against proper boxers he probably wouldn’t. Social media and a clever marketing machine did him wonders to propel him into conversations like this but beyond the hype , Wilder would lose to a vast majority of guys who did not have the current mainstream media .

            Spinks was a great true great champion. Wilder was a phony protected fraud. Haymon would block Spinks from exposing the big alabama pretender fraud. Fight would never happen. If it did, SPinks by easy decision or late KO.

              It would be a boxing lesson by Spinks until Wilder landed then lights out

                See Bambi vs Godzilla. Spinks wouldnt be able to avoid that right hand for 12 rounds.

                    Bambi did alright against Godzilla, he defeated Cooney as someone else mentioned didn’t he . I’m not sure who wins but Spinks would be the fastest and most awkward guy he never faced . A big power puncher with skill or a very skilled long jabber would be useful more so here . Wilder has below average abilities altogether I would probably change my stance here from the past and take Spinks the more I see how mentally weak Wilder is .

                    Edit : I would also assume most think Wilder resembles Bambi here , not a solid proven guy like Spinks who fought better guys and only stopped by a great Mike Tyson .
