[unassuming]

Former heavy weight boxing champion , Leon Spinks, has passed at 67 years of age, he had prostate cancer.

 

[Fun For All]

He was the victor in the biggest upset in the heavyweight decision...until Buster Douglas.

Considering the head shots he took from Larry Holmes, I'm surprised it was prostate cancer.

Always remember Red Green's sage words regarding a prostate check: you're never too old to be smart.

You should be very wary when you pop into my head out of nowhere after years of not being heard of. I was just thinking about him the other day. Just popped into my head for no reason. Freaky Deaky was the expression that came to mind. RIP. Leon.

Michael Spinks eventually got revenge but Holmes was 36 by then.

Spinks connected with an Enzo the Tiger punch, Holmes was rattled. It looked like Spinks would score another upset.
