Not a chance. Prime Leon in 1978 was a whirlwind of cocaine to be reckoned with. Seriously this young buck was a helluva head-movin' whirling dervish and on that night when he beat Ali----just like when Douglas beat Tyson---I dont think Ruiz or Rahman could have beat him. On that night he was destined to win. Dont take nothin away from Ol' Leon. Respect where it is due. He was a sharp-punching Gold Medalist with great head movement and indefatiguable energies. "Body sculpted like tempered steel" Howard Cosell repeated over and over in that fight.
