He could have offered more to boxing I feel, although he retired sensibly with his money and health.

Good fighter, I may be wrong but I feel he gets ignored when it comes to talking about the top fighters of that time.
Michael Spinks had dodgy knees & had lost his hunger for the fight game: in short, he retired at the right time.

He got out of boxing with his health, wealth & faculties all intact.

He was & always will be an ATG & had nothing more to prove.
