Michael actually used to be a janitor too. He didn't care much for boxing and was working as a janitor after the Olympics. His boss caught him falling asleep in the bathroom. He was a terrible janitor, so he went back to boxing.
Couldn't say for sure. With Leon's lack of education coupled with his drug use and punishment to the head, one has to wonder what type of mental condition he's in these days. If Michael indeed has a thriving and well managed estate, then one would certainly hope that he'd extend some assistance to his brother. But, as you say, who knows the status of their relationship.
Mike was much better than Leon. That somtimes is how it is with big brother's and little brother's. Donald Curry was better than Bruce, Roger Mayweaher better than Floyd Sr, and maybe Anthony Peterson and Lamont Peterson. Anthony has more physical talent anway. Of coure Juan Manuel Marquez is better than Rafel and Jerry Quarry was better than Mike Quarry, so sometimes it's the other way around.
I saw him earlier (or later) that day, and he didn't really know where he was, he was in his own little world.
anyone notice that all the peeps on corey's list seem to be all on the non fans avoid list. mayweather,winky,hopkins,malignaggi,cunnungham
Michael and Leon were both talented, though Leon was the better amateur, and Michael, the better pro.Leon ,living the fast life, screwed up whatever chance at full validity that he had.I always felt that the cruiserweight division was created with him in mind.
Their mum wouldnt let them Sorry couldnt resist, just being facetious Mike was technically better and had the better career, but at their best i think Leon would have won a fight between the two.

Well a sad story indeed. I don't know if prime vs prime, Leon would be better than Michael. But career-wise Michael showed to be the better fighter by miles
