I know a lot of people think I'm dumb. Well, at least I ain't no educated fool.

RIP Leon Spinks. Will always remember watching you fight your way to the gold medal light heavyweight in boxing at the 1976 Summer Olympics.

I always remember his toothless grin early on. Had no idea he is was a Marine.
RIP. Thanks for your service.

Opportunity knocks only once. You never know if you'll get another opportunity.

He was a big part of the glory days of prize fighting. Those glory days are gone, thanks Don King!

Here is a good article about the Ali fight, he won.
He's the Greatest, I'm the Best
https://vault.si.com/vault/1978/02/27/hes-the-greatest-im-the-best-ali-was-his-man-then-and-ali-is-his-man-now-but-when-24-year-old-leon-spinks-attacked-both-idol-and-the-heavyweight-title-came-tumbling-down
They were facing the 10th round now, Muhammad Ali and the kid who had been 10 years old when Ali first won the world heavyweight championship. Ali's corner
