Grade a fighter day 4: What grade do you give Michael Spinks?

[_Rexy_]

Cooney was winning the fight sure the announcers claimed otherwise but where ? He was pressed and was a bit shaken with just jabs landed ,even in the second round he just steals the round in last seconds yet the announcer says it was a Spinks round ? Cooney stuns Spinks a few times in the next rnd 3 with left hooks not to mention the digging body shots he threw the entire time and in rnd 4 you can see Spinks knees go weak a bit with a double left hook bf he got caught in the last rnd 5 ...the only real round Cooney was losing clearly but he wasn’t winning beforehand ? Ha.

To show you how bias the commentary was ,Spinks was warned for excessive holding in rnd 4 ,yet the announcer says both fighters are warned . That guy is on someone’s payroll for sure .Ha

The fact is you just don’t watch fights and always getting corrected on here . You also think Spinks won twice over Holmes but no one who really watched both fights thinks that and Holmes was very badly injured in the first fight and was advised not to to take that’s why he didn’t throw many right hands ,it had something to do with his spine . You didn’t know that because you don’t know boxing .

The last statement I don’t even know what that is but it proves to you are a moron more then I though you were which is very hard . You shouldn’t comment at all,you have to be one of the ******est posters I’ve encountered on here and lies daily .

Please, you're the biggest ****ing ****** on this site. Spinks getting warned for holding in the fourth round doesn't mean that Cooney almost won a fight that he got KTFO in. You're a typical british boxing fan "HE WAS WINNING THE FIGHT BEFORE HE GOT KNOCKED OUT!!!" Insecure little soyboy. Go watch amateur boxing where you can look good for four rounds and win. Your inbred weak chinned british heros won't get knocked out so badly.

I didn’t say almost ,I said could have ,you didn’t counter anything I stated because they are facts . You just got served like always . Ha

He was absolutely great, A-Plus! But the fighter who wins my heart from that era is Matthew Saad Mohammed. What a backstory and what a truly fine human being. And to say he had the heart of a warrior is almost an insult because of how deep he had to dig at times. His heart was monstrous. Spinks vs Mohammed would have been one of the great fights but Dwight Mohammed Qawi derailed that one.

Yes! Loved watching Miracle Matthew. 175 was such a phenomenal division back then.
