If you consider that Qawi was a natural middleweight boxer, but who stepped up to the light heavyweight, cruiserweight and later heavyweight divisions, you have to give a lot of credits to Qawi. Look at his shorter build, he looks like a middleweight.

I would have never guessed that Bernard Hopkins would also rule this weight division. But he did.

Remember Braxton back in the day he was awesome back then what a good fighter he is

Very early on Braxton tasted the massive power in Spinks fists, just on some glancing shots. It kept him from pushing the issue just enough for Spinks to outbox him.

Spinks was a pretty amazing boxer. Won a lot of fights and beat a lot of good fighters.

Bien por los Reconocimientos de este comentario que es muy objetivo señores porque la verdad este Michael spink no sólo es el más grande campeón mundial semipesado de la historia sino uno de los 10 boxeadores más grandes de todos los tiempos

Both extremely underrated, especially spinks. I chuckle when I read that Ray Leonard won a light heavyweight "championship". These two real champs would've thumbtacked Leonard.

Loved Brixton’s style and head movement..l wonder who he thought was better …this spinks or Holyfield ?

Good fight. Two legendary Champions

It was a real shame that Michael, and especially Leon, didn't have anyone to help them navigate the pitfalls of success.....neither man an intellectual, but they deserved better. Great fight with Qawi.

QAWI, was the greatest defensive lil fighter that i've seen he had amazing ability to avoid getting hit with big shot, I LOST A GRAND ON THIS FIGHT, I HAD TOO MUCH RESPECT FOR QAWI, I THOUGHT HE WOULD PUT THE SPINKS JINKS TO SLEEP.

Michael Spinx left boxing after the Mike Tyson, because he realized that he didn’t need to keep boxing from the big purse he received. But looking back, both Muhammand Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard along with Moore said that Spinx had great potential. I think he should have moved back to light heavyweight after the second Holmes fight, and fight for the belt against the champion who I think he could possibly beat, and fight either Qawi or Musafar again. Then move down to super middle weight and fight Hearns, and move down to Middle and fight Hagler. If he used Leonard’s intelligent planning and all the sharp decisions he would be one of the greatest.

Make me mad that Saad didn't fight him smarter and box like he could. He just wanted hit that little peanut head.
