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.
@benjamindillard2391 yea just friends with many champions past and present, some legends, and train with them x boxer unbeaten until military do not reply this is over there are levels to this and you cannot see high enough to view me
@ I don’t think he went thru his career with out getting cracked every now and then, but what u see now is exactly who is was just a man that wasn’t loud or selling a fight and acting like he ain’t have sense. He looks great and he Functionable
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.
Such a gentle person outside the ring but arguably one of the best light heavyweights ever. Also made a large dent in the heavyweight division at the time. So humble as always. Best wishes champ 👍
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.
not from boxing he never really had any wars and tyson was the first fight he lost and the last fight he fought leon was heavy into drugs at one stage so maybe but michael seemed on point just old i think sounds ok to me
@@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.
So Spinks said he heard (26:43) that Tyson was on steroids, but that Tyson also passed (26:57) the drug test. But then he say again that Mike was on steroids! (28:46 ) 🤔
Larry holmes was just evil...🤬🤬🤬 got thing the jinx schooled a d exposed him twice.. and never forget, larry had gotten away with 2 horrible corrupt robberies before the m spinks fight.
@vlad Michael Spinks was the 1st reigning light heavyweight champion to win the heavyweight title. Not the only……Roy came along later and became a reigning light heavyweight champion to win the heavyweight championship. There have been other light heavyweights(not reigning) to win the heavyweight championship.
I was a big fan of Mike. glad vlad did this one. good to see him. cant expect him to talk much when he didnt say a word back then. He wasnt going to beat Tyson in his prime though. After that KO uppercut from Iron Mike dude retired like UMUMMM I aint doing this nomo
Michael Spinks is slow in his responses and low energy. I think he has some CTE. He seems older and in worse shape than Tyson. God bless him. I always liked him. He’s a sweet man and he didn’t seem to enjoy boxing. He’s a gentle guy.
Spinks isn’t a 24 year old in his prime anymore… he’s close to 70 years old and had faced the hardest hitting and most legendary fighters to ever live.
@hassanx9423 no the only 3 near heavy hitters he raced was tyson - last fight 91 seconds holmes - old holmes at end of career just trying to point it out to beat marciano record cooney - spinks won easily
@@SonnyListon-e3x no 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.
ALRIGHT HERE WE GO, THE WHOLE INTERVIEW IS HERE, WELCOME TO VLADTV!!! So this your first time here, so I wanna start in the very beginning. So you were born and raised in St. Louis. What was St Louis like in the 60s? What led up to the Mike Tyson fight? How did it feel when the streak ended? That's what it is, Michael Spinks, always a pleasure, until next time.... PEACE!!!
28:48 What's wrong with this man? Talking about Tyson was on steroids? Was you there when he took the steroids? Are you an eye witness? Present evidence.
@@WildL23 Not a lie. He came out with 2 books at around the same time. The other one concentrated on his relationship with Cus D'amato. Maybe its in that one.
This was the worst interview ever. One word answers, laughs, and unnhmmms…..Vlad should’ve told him MORE DETAILS or ELABORATE….this is how NOT to respond during an interview
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.
Talk that shit!!!!! Tyson got me into boxing personally (to join a gym) but facts are facts Spinks is a fuckin BEAST!!!!!!!
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.
no
@@SonnyListon-e3x You know absolutely nothing about boxing then.
@benjamindillard2391
yea just friends with many champions past and present, some legends, and train with them
x boxer unbeaten until military
do not reply
this is over
there are levels to this and you cannot see high enough to view me
I love this old man spinks!!! He is so genuine! And soft spoken! Such a class act!!
He's taken damage. Unfortunately
@ I don’t think he went thru his career with out getting cracked every now and then, but what u see now is exactly who is was just a man that wasn’t loud or selling a fight and acting like he ain’t have sense. He looks great and he Functionable
"how did you feel?" "pretty good"
"How did you feel?" "Pretty good"

Spinks Laugh Is Funny 😂
O.g laughing like damn, how he know so much about me lol
This interview just started and its done already. Vlad got him up out of there in the early rounds😂😂😂
Such a gentle person outside the ring but arguably one of the best light heavyweights ever. Also made a large dent in the heavyweight division at the time. So humble as always. Best wishes champ 👍
You never mentioned the Spinks-Holmes rematch.
Disappointing because that one was even closer than the first fight.
That part!
Damn. Spinks. Miss those Brothers. Watched them in the Olympics Michael Spinks Cool as a Cucumber. Glad to see he’s. Ok. Stay Healthy. Michael
Vlad you need to bring Corey TheNextGeneration Spinks on your platform
K9 kod him twice
Great athlete interviews. I love these
He look like he could be Deion Sanders pops
Best LIGHT HEAVY WEIGHT EVER !!
Vlad, next time, just cut old school a check and say, keep it, no interview required.
U can't appreciate the voice of legends..
@Joe-ry2xq Glad fed him every line. OG checked out

James Toney would have zero patience for Vlad and the moment that he asks a stupid question he'd probably slap the shit out of him.
Getting punched in the head, repeatedly, takes its toll
Ali is the most known example
not from boxing he never really had any wars and tyson was the first fight he lost and the last fight he fought
leon was heavy into drugs at one stage so maybe but michael seemed on point
just old i think
sounds ok to me

Thank you.

tYSON HIMSELF HAS TOLD HOW TO CHEAT THOSE TESTS WITH A CONDOM OF SOMONE ELSES PEE caps off now
Loved this.
Larry holmes was just evil...🤬🤬🤬 got thing the jinx schooled a d exposed him twice.. and never forget, larry had gotten away with 2 horrible corrupt robberies before the m spinks fight.
Where’s my time stamp guy at ?
Spinks looks like Vlad hostage 😅
43 minutes… vlad said No Mas
I always watched him fight.
This basically was a VLAD talking head video.😅
Always liked micheal spinks he never said to much
Michael literally heard mike punching holes in walls lol.
@vlad Michael Spinks was the 1st reigning light heavyweight champion to win the heavyweight title. Not the only……Roy came along later and became a reigning light heavyweight champion to win the heavyweight championship.
There have been other light heavyweights(not reigning) to win the heavyweight championship.
You can argue about the first meeting between him and Larry Holmes. But I thought Larry Holmes definitely beat him the second time.
because of the jock strap comment by holmes
@@SonnyListon-e3xfacts! Should have never said that even if it was true.
I was a big fan of Mike. glad vlad did this one. good to see him. cant expect him to talk much when he didnt say a word back then. He wasnt going to beat Tyson in his prime though. After that KO uppercut from Iron Mike dude retired like UMUMMM I aint doing this nomo
Владос, неплохо делаешь))
Where's my BLUE CHEW? 😂
Lmao what ?
Michael Spinks is slow in his responses and low energy. I think he has some CTE. He seems older and in worse shape than Tyson. God bless him. I always liked him. He’s a sweet man and he didn’t seem to enjoy boxing. He’s a gentle guy.
He is almost 70...tyson 58
hes fine
if you think he has cte maybe you have it from ya mommas spoon
Spinks isn’t a 24 year old in his prime anymore… he’s close to 70 years old and had faced the hardest hitting and most legendary fighters to ever live.
@hassanx9423
no the only 3 near heavy hitters he raced was
tyson - last fight 91 seconds
holmes - old holmes at end of career just trying to point it out to beat marciano record
cooney - spinks won easily
@@SonnyListon-e3x no
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

Tyson on strieods
Terrible interview vlad is answering his own questions
💯
Spinks not interested in doing this interview, just there for the cheque
It's a shame to see such an accomplished fighter in this stage of mental decline.
mental is fine understands everything and remembers everything
he was always a measured speaker
sone people just l9ve cliches like punch drunk
clown
Remind me & everyone out there, to NOT invite MICHAEL SPINKS🥊, to any SPEAKING 🗣️ ENGAGEMENTS!!!👀😬😫🤫😏
Mooror was light heavy and heavy weight champion!do ya homework!🥊🇬🇬
Yeah and he sucked
I like your video
Micheal Spinks must have dementia or something he doesn't seem remember certain things.
Lets be clear Leon Spinx beat a Parkinson affected Muhammad Ali Leon couldn't have handled Ali in his prime . Nobody could!
Keep doing drugs😂 clay had 3 robberies going into that fight 😂
28:48 What's wrong with this man? Talking about Tyson was on steroids? Was you there when he took the steroids? Are you an eye witness? Present evidence.
Mike Tyson said he and most all 90s HWs used them. It's in his book "Undisputed Truth."
@kingtyomama6564 Lies, I just read that book, and that wasn't in there.
@@WildL23 Not a lie. He came out with 2 books at around the same time. The other one concentrated on his relationship with Cus D'amato. Maybe its in that one.
@kingtyomama6564 I'm reading that book too. I'll be finished with it in a couple days. It better be in there.
@kingtyomama6564 I'm halfway through that book already, it better be in there? I haven't seen it yet.
👔👔👔🥊🥊🥊🏆
This was the worst interview ever. One word answers, laughs, and unnhmmms…..Vlad should’ve told him MORE DETAILS or ELABORATE….this is how NOT to respond during an interview
Spinks probably has brain damage
@ He knew how to pronounce steroids though 😂
@Megalodon-uk9kc 😂
this shit unwatchable no disrespect

That’s because you’re boring
