Spinks was a badass and I enjoyed his era so much. Just thinking back to all the great fighters in that era is really remarkable. R.I.P. my man and thanks for the memories.

I think he is the only fighter to beat both Ali and Tyson.

I don't think Leon fought Mike. I know Tyson beat the **** out of Michael Spinks. Leon caught Ali at the end of his career when he should have been retired.

Michael took a nap 91 seconds into the fight. Leon never laced ‘em up vs Mike Tyson.

Hearing most of these fighters stories is sad. Shows how corrupt the fight game was with shitbags like Don King stealing all these guys money and leaving in the gutter.

Be for he moved to Vegas i use to talk to him all the time at the bar. One of my favorite conversations with him.
Me: out of all your fights who hit you the hardest. "He sits back and thinks"
Leon: "stone cold look" My Momma
He was a hell of a guy to chat with.
