It’s Leon, I want to buy a dollar fifty of cocaine. I promise to pay you tomorrow.
Interesting and entertaining character at the time for sure.

He died of prostate cancer that metastasized to his bladder. Very sad and most likely preventable.

He made a name for himself. I remember him coming onto the boxing scene and thought, who is this guy. I hadn't heard of him and I watched all those boxing matches that were big events too. I read his record and it is impressive for sure.
Anyway, I think I remember him fighting Mike Tyson. Am I right? Didn't Mike hit him one time and he went down. I think he got up but got knocked down again. Then one more time? Fight over in like 1 minute? I'm going to search the web now...yup, 91 seconds. Tyson was a beast of a puncher during those years. Nobody could take those hits to their heads.
Boxing matches were spectacles. I had many gatherings at my house for those "Friday Night Fights"
Leon did have speed, grace and power.
R.I.P. Mr. Spinks.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I remember Tyson fighting his brother Michael, don't think he fought Leon.

I remember Tyson fighting his brother Michael, don't think he fought Leon.
correct! but you could take Tysons first 20 fights and they all look the same regardless of his opponent.
He was a beast with the cleanest true punching power from the ground up, Awesome hips translation SICK KO's! Gust trained him well, I miss those decades of Boxing greats!

1000%
Don King ruined him and messed up his head. He chewed through fighters like a new chainsaw through wood. I loved and hated his fights at the same time. -
Then I truly apologize to Leon Spinks.
I have to research better.
