    Did you know leon spinks holds the record for wining a world title with the fewest professional fights behind him. he took the world heavyweight title of muhamed ali in his 8th professional fight

    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.
