    Spinks has the movement and jab to cause trouble for Floyd. When Oscar jabbed Floyd he controlled the action and Spinks has the better, quicker jab that is more difficult to counter. Also Spinks is always in great condition and he would keep that left hand pumping all the way. Floyd would get close at times, but he doesn't have the power of Zab to seriously threaten Spinks.

    Spinks UD 116-112

    Spinks does NOT have a better jab than ODH. PBF would beat Spinks easily. And probably look good doing it.

    Maybe. PBF looked pretty good against Sharmba Mitchell, but Spinks is a better stinker than Bitchell.

    Oscar used to have a comparable jab but now he has lost the snap of it. Spinks jabs faster and sharper and probably more accurately too

    True, because Floyd will never face him. Huge risk, little reward (=money)

    spinks would make delahoya look foolish if they fought.

    too bad this fight didn't happen instead of mayweather vs baldomir. a bunch of whining cunts talked hbo into the baldomir debacle. mayweather wouldve punished spinks

    Good match up, I was impressed with Spinks in the Taylor fight poor Jermain could handle the speed of cory. I think this would be a close fight with Money just edging the SD.
