    What say yall?

    Its crazy how casual perception differs from the reality.

    The casual fan would think Chavez by a mile.

    The reality? I think Spinks was both better and greater, and I think the gap is clear for both.

    100% agreed. Spinks is really underrated and his 1st win over Larry Holmes is a candidate for the greates win ever.

    Spinks for sure.

    Mexican fighters are just bigger stars and bigger names so they’re remembered more.

    A Spinks-Chavez Sr. P4P fight would look like the Qawi fight so there's your answer

    Fuck out of here. But I’m a casual now so take that for what it’s worth.

    If I'm honest, I don't see Chavez being replaceable for Qawi at all.

    Spinks has bigger wins, better wins, and a more significant accomplishment under his belt.
