First and foremost, before that fight Leon never had true financial success. Poor Kid from ST. Louis. Started to experience some serious VICES after beating Ali. Women and Cocaine. His skills were good but not great. So after that fight he simply got caught up in the world of drugs and Excesses. Never could truly come back from that. He became King to fast and could not handle it. What he went through helped his brother Michael out so much that words cant even express. Michael Spinxs learned what to stay away from and what not to do. His win against Ali was simply a BLESSING and a CURSE.
