    Leon Spinks was also KO'd in one round by an opponent making their professional debut. Talk about a downfall.

    Thanks a lot :good. Benefit of having a Thomas Hearns career set- one of his pre title fights and one of the commentators mentioned that amazing stat. Just from looking at his record on boxrec he had hell of a unusual career. Used a very weird style against Hearns, its on youtube.
