    For casuals who may not know, Michael Spinks is one of the greatest fighters of all time, and arguably the best light heavyweight to ever live.

      Thats a fact. My old trainer (rip djata) was good friends with michael. He was trained and managed briefly by joe frazier. Michael was likely the greatest LH ever.

    Michael have a good Heart.. I remember me and my mother going to Leon Spinks wedding in Detroit when I was 10 years old after Michael fought Mike Tyson. I heard Michael paid for his Brother Leon wedding.. I asked Michael what happen in the Tyson fight and he said Tyson was a young hard hitter.. Michael is definitely a good giving guy.

    I'm a true boxing fan, and I love that Vlad is doing boxing interviews. But, this one was a struggle. Spinks is a man of few words, and I can see all the edits in between, which means they did their best to edit this into something watchable. I'm not sure if he struggles to speak due to damage from boxing, age related complications, or something else, but this one was hard to get through. I watched the entire thing hoping he would open up more and elaborate on the questions asked. But, it never happened. I think a great interview to do, that would spark a lot of comments and controversy is James Toney. If you can interview him, he'll give it to you raw and uncut, always has PLENTY to say, and he has a great boxing story as well. Also consider Roy Jones, Jr. I'll still always watch the boxing interviews on here if they keep them up.

    • @jeremyfromthebay84

      @@SonnyListon-e3x I like your username. Don’t forget though, that sparring can be legit, and they often get injured doing that. All those repeated blows accumulate, even with head gear, same as the NFL and he probably had hundreds of amateur bouts just to get to the Olympics. Not everyone’s brain reacts the same to the blows, but I wouldn’t rule it out. And that one vicious Tyson KO punch was enough to make it worse.

      One of the very best LHWs ever - right alongside Charlesand Moore and better than most of the rest. He thoroughly cleaned out a very strong and deep LHW division, then went up and scored probably the biggest single win ever by a LHW champ, when he toppled the longtime reigning, 48-0 Holmes
      Foreman universally known altogether as THE big heavyweight who’s chin can’t be destroyed said Cooney as one of the hardest punches he’s ever faced.
