Rating Michael Spinks at CW
I was digging up info on Michael Spinks because I was thinking about rating him and using him eventually in my CW division. I always thought he was an excellent LHW. Not better than Bob Foster or Archie Moore (Ezzard Charles, etc.) but I'm up in the air with the KD rating.
He was rocked as a LHW, but like Miguel Cotto in the current day, he always recovered. Yeah, he got blasted by Mike Tyson. But that was a prime Tyson hitting him on the chin.
I'm trying to picture how he would have fared against the version of Evander Holyfield in his second fight with Qawi.
