    Tyson pulls out the unification bout with an injury, Holyfield is late replacement. Spinks 212lb, Holyfield 205lb. Who wins.

    I'll take Holyfield. Obviously not the same kind of quick blowout but i still think he had enough to win even though he hadn't fully grown into the division yet.

    Spinks Beats the Qawi I Version of Holyfield by CLOSE Decision, but By the Time Evander Unified the Crusierweight Division He Was a Bit Tooooooooooo SPRY, COMBATIVE, STRONG and SEASONED for Any Version of Spinks...

    Holy By CONVINCING Decision Or Even a Late Stoppage, 9ish or Later...

    Ferdie is all "lets get off of that... what about BOXING" and Holy just plows forward with God and Jesus LOL

    212 was not a good weight for Spinks anyway. An indication he was probably already mentally retired by that time.

    Holyfield wins this, UD or maybe stops Spinks in the later rounds.
