What I'll always remember most about Leon Spinks (as well as his brother Michael) is how he represented his country at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, winning a Gold Metal there. This was at a time when the Cuban fighters were kicking some serious ass in World Amateur Boxing Championships, and the Cubans were putting up what amounted to "Pro" fighters against our U.S. amateurs.

Anyway cheers Leon, tell Michael to send some of that money he got for being crushed by Tyson.
